In this clip It was interesting to see Comicsgate Ethan Van Sciver, and Mandie Summer celebrate the Youtube revenue that was generated during an earlier live stream.
Earlier during a Comcisgate Kings Youtube program Dan Fraga had an emotionally charged discussion and argued with Ethan Van Sciver, Jon Malin, and Shane Davis over treatment of former Comicsgate associates Patrick Thomas Parnell, Phil Diaz, and others. Van Sciver's audience reacted with anger and began sending multiple superchats so that Van Sciver would read their condemnation of Dan Fraga during the program. Fraga had just unwittingly volunteered as Comicsgate's next villain.
Does it sound ridiculous that a group who alleged purpose is to use Youtube to finance and promote comic books, has an "enemies list", it is ridiculous but it also appears to be lucrative.
It's an interesting mechanism to extract money from a group conditioned to be reactionary. It follows that Comicsgate has a direct financial incentive to generate ongoing conflicts, and that is appears to be a reliable mechanism for Comicsgate to extract revenue from a demonstrably gullible audience.
For aspiring creators who are more interested in producing meaningful stories and art, that contrived conflicts with marginal personalities, they should perhaps consider keeping Comcisgate at several arms lengths. The conflicts may have real world consequence Van Sciver and Comcisgate on more than one occasion have encouraged fans to target creators and critical fans with harassment or annoyance.
