I like how they've already passed their goal by more than $10,000. In 3 hours no less. Isn't the RT community great?

We raised a million for Lazer Team in two days. The RT community acts like Gae Bolg in reversing cause and effect when it comes to overfunding. [i]These things are not overfunded because they are posted, they are posted because they are overfunded.[/i]

I always feel guilty whenever RT has a fundraiser because I have never been financially able to contribute. And what kind of fan can I call myself if can't say I donated to Lazer Team or whatever other project they're working on. Heck, I hope I can make enough to afford to go to this year's RTX because I've never been before and I've been trying to save up to go for quite some time.

Don't feel guilty for not being able to donate for anyone you're a fan of. The fact that you support them in whatever way you feasibly can is usually enough for them, especially if they're very non-profit organized. It's that way for many Youtubers or Twitch streamers or people who like to make shit on the internet for other people's entertainment. The fact that you even like it is definitely enough for them to keep going. Send them fan letters via e-mail, stuff you make yourself, or simply comment on their videos and they'll most likely notice it. Might not have the time to reply to it, but most of those people notice shit like that and it makes their day.

I myself am not financially able to do much myself, what with me saving up for college crap and working for a chain grocery store. >_> The most I can do is subscribe to my favorite twitch streamer, which I do. But, she makes it a point that simply following her is enough support and that that's all she asks of her streamers. You don't have to donate or give someone money to make them know they're loved or to let them know their work is appreciated. (But if you feel obligated to, the best way to do that is a subscription because she likes to give back to her subs and stuff, which I think is bs because she's already giving her time to entertain people. >_> <_< Whatever. WHATEVER.)

So, yeah, don't ever feel guilty for not being able to support the things you love with your money. Support them with time spent watching or with letters or whatever, you know? Because, trust me, it's enough for most people to be reminded that they have millions of fans and supporters, even if they don't throw their money at 'em.

But, you aren't alone in feeling that, as I feel that way on occasion too. I just have to remind myself that money isn't the only way to support the things you love. (Unless you legit have to buy shit, and then, yeah, that's probably required)
