I'm selling this channel: Questions & Answers

Don't play your fans for fools. This is the reason apps like Patreon exist. There is clearly something bigger going on, so before you dig yourself a deeper hole, please actually listen to your core audience and tell them the truth, and don't try to scam them out of their hard earned money.

I have enjoyed watching your documentaries, but stuff like this just turns me and probably a lot of other people away from engaging with your channel any more.

The problem with funding Disrupt with investors is that you’ll inevitably be forced to prioritize making money over strictly content creation. You’ll have to monetize your platform in unlikeable or unfitting ways, or risk sinking the entire project. Investment is not a bad idea for a media company, but this brand isn’t currently big enough to guarantee anything for it’s investors. There’s a reason other people in your shoes might just start a Patron. Ask for support from your audience, people who already love the stuff you put out. You’ll be beckoning to people who are much more likely to support your channel based on passion and a will to see the creative power behind this company succeed. Currently, you’re advertising to people with an investment mindset, yet showcasing really how poor of an investment this is. Right now, with Disrupt’s current size and project output, you need to play into your strengths, and currently those are your production quality and fanbase. Not your ability to garner a profit.

I wish for the best for this channel but investing just seems too risky

Raising $500,000 to save the channel via crowdsourcing is completely fine, as long as you're upfront about it. I imagine many people would be willing to chip in a couple bucks to continue seeing content from a channel they like.

But asking for a minimum of $100 per person and then trying to pitch the whole thing as some kind of "investment"?

Kinda shady bro.

Much of this smoke and mirrors discourse could've been avoided by implementing a Patreon, possibly combining it with Disrupt Plus, to give yourself full creative and financial freedom. Or in some way or another, explore memberships, literally an already existing feature on this platform.
You'd be justified to use that money without shady promises, even for matters you're not comfortable disclosing to your public audience in the first place.

I personally think that you could have been more transparent.

Should have said something along the lines of:

"Disrupt is in need of 500k due to one of the co founders departing.

We are setting up a Crowdfunding campaign in order to pay off the Debt caused by their departure.

If we are not able to clear this Debt caused by their departure, it will affect the future of Disrupt."

Being more transparent would help this situation to not look so sketchy.

Damn you really dodged the real concerns people were having. I get it you need to pay off your debt and I do think deep in your heart you think that your channel is something worthy of investing in, but I gotta say it’s a bit eye opening to see all the negative comments on your last video and then watching this short Q/A video that dodges the real concerns in favor of responding to questions from people you view as potential investors. It’s a shame you’re doubling down and aren’t even addressing the main concerns people have with this.

Why not make Disrupt a publicly traded company? The way it is now, this entire things just seems scammy.

I have 3 issues with this:

1) how has disrupt been valued at ten milly but couldn’t make enough to pay off the 466k debt for a couple years

2) so the crowdfunding is supposed to cover the debt but investors in total are only being allocated 10% of the channel to pay off the other guy who has 50% for the same price

3) what happens to investors money if it goes to plan b? Do investors keep stock after the restructure or is the money lost or refunded?

I honestly think that investing in this channel would be a good idea if it was thru like the nyse or something and not thru some random app. Plus these numbers just don’t add up lol

Very speculative investment, interesting but extremely risky IMO

This just says to me that he is having money problems and needs our money.

You should just be transparent and honest about the current position disrupt is in

FYI this isn’t an investment. You’re paying off his debt.

Damn seeing all the comments about this shows how people are reluctant to fall for this. Im sorry man this looks like the end of the road for me (and most likely alot of us). Hopefully you are able to figure this out a different way and not using shady investment tactics.

As a person who studies accounting, my issues are:

1. You havent explained anything about the company. You havent told us who this 'previous member' is, how you arrived in this situation. You have basically just said 'Im in debt, theres a reason, pay it off for me thanks'

2. Your valuation is biased. A 3rd party should have been the one to value it, not you. If I value my property, that doesnt mean its actually worth that. I'm glad you've explained youre the one who valued it, but that shouldve been addressed in the first video, not afterwards.

3. That balance sheet seems awfully scarce of information, and you haven't explained how any of the values present.You shouldve also shown us the other financial statements, and explained the current structure of Disrupt, and your current investments other than YouTube, as based on that balance sheet, your projected value is completely unjustifiable.

4. You're crowdfunding money, selling 10% of the business to pay off a proposed $500,000 that was paid for 50%. I understand that the business may have grown since then, but it feels awfully sketchy at this level of percentage. Its just my theory, but maybe the reason you havent taken this opportunity to someone who can fund it, is because you know what you are doing is sketchy, that any sensible businessman or woman would know that what you are doing, is using the crowdfunded money to pay for your own ownership within the business.

So this is how those people on shark tank felt when someone came up with
- a wild valuation,
- cashflow that doesn't support it,
- even worse, history of bad financial management,
- growth projections based on the size of the market sector,
- a fickle market
- offering tiny stake in the company,
- use for invested money that isn't directly towards providing value
- and, rather insultingly, buying 51% stake for 500k and then offering shares at a 10x


This is a gofundme.

I'm torn, honestly. I love this channel, it has pushed me that much further into my digital media technology degree and definitely sparked my interest in programming. However, I can't help but to agree that a patreon or something other than this would have been a better option to raise the funds to pay off this debt. Maybe this is how you wanted us to translate this considering you left this in the last pages of the financial documents, but thats just the thing, it was in the last few pages and not mentioned in the original video at all. Transparency would have been nice.

Its just so weird to me that a channel whos catalogue is heavily based around people committing scams or fraudulent crimes, you'd take this route for the channel.

If you have debts to pay off, why not open a patreon?

I really think just speaking plainly and being honest with your audience would have been the best move. This channel has done great work and has had a positive influence on its viewers, and I think this shady approach to the problem is a slap in the face to those who otherwise would have wanted to help by donating.

I wished you've just been honest and sat the goal towards 500,000 thousands (with a note saying the money would go towards buying out the 2nd co-owner of the channel due to disagreement where the channel is heading, as this will be or has already become a PR nightmare) instead of valuating the company based on potential promises and a potential posistion the company might be in for the future of for example the Metaverse.

This doesn’t really change the fact that I’m pretty confident this is an illegal security and has a $10M valuation. You must have used some insane growth rate (plus your stated assumptions about VR becoming ubiquitous in 15 years) or don’t understand time value of money. You even concede it’s a decades-long investment, which is something no financial advisor would ever reference. This is a really awful idea to put out and a worse idea to ‘invest’ in.

Love your videos
I don't like this, but maybe I'm just being too skeptic.
Will keep watching, and will become a part of it if it's not something scamlike.
Keep up the great work man. You're one of my favorite channels on youtube.

you massively overshot your channel's current value and are expecting and hoping a bunch of fans of your channel will pay for it to pay off your debts with a glorified kickstarter or gofundme disguising itself as an investment opportunity. you're taking advantage of the current investment landscape by creating an "opportunity" for people to invest in with the hope your speculative amounts will MAYBE come to fruition but only if virtual reality/metaverse pans out how you hope it will (as a fan of VR i really do not think it will become as mainstream as something like a mobile phone is, especially given the current landscape of how it's been developing) or if your youtube channel grows massively, which while your videos usually have high quality impressive visuals, does not reflect in your current view count.
overall, this video does not do a great job at quelling the concerns the majority of your comment section has, and you SHOULD be answering them (considering youtube is where your biggest platform is) instead of being vague when people ask valid questions, which is further alienating everyone. i sincerely believe anyone who knows anything about investing will and should stay far away from this and inform others about how sketchy it all is. but hey, you probably don't care as long as you get your money.

Honestly, trying to do an NFT might have been seen less negatively

"You should not expect to make any return on your investment for subsequent years"

Then please explain why any of us should "invest" any of our hard-earned money into this pipe dream?

"This valuation comes from me, not any third party"

Dude, how can you say this and still expect anybody to take you seriously? This is frankly insulting to us, the viewers and potential investors.

I like the channel, but you may be killing it right here and now going down this route. Abandon the investment angle, start a donation campaign and a patreon where people can support if they wish to. This investment angle is predatory.

I hope this channel survives whatever you're trying to do now..

This is extremely shady. You refuse to use a patreon and instead want "Investment donations" which, essentially, is just people paying you money to keep making content (so the same thing as patreon). You're going to lose a lot of long time subscribers and alienate people for this.

I'm curious how involved this co-owner is when it comes to production of the content. Are we going to end up with something completely different if/when they separate?

Unfortunately guys, all good things have to come to an end at one point.

All I can say is a really hope this stumble doesn't kill the channel.

TL:DR Financial Statements(20&21):
-~200k profit in 2021
-130k net profit (basically no shareholder profit )
-~450k debt
-few assets except some crypto holdings
-Invested a lot in crypto, and made losses there (probably even more in 22)
-The former co-owner sold his 50% share for 500k so the company was 1M worth 1 year ago not 10M
-Even worse the Company defaulted!!! on paying the loan to the former co-owner that's the whole reason for this selling this Channel now.

Why not just start a new channel that you'd own 100% of and take your followers?
It's your voice and content we like and support. Let the mystery owner take 51% of a dead channel that doesnt upload.
Either he'd have to upload or sell the channel, either way you'd be the silent partner getting paid whilst also getting revenue from your new channel.

Absolutely devistated. Really dropped the ball.

will continue and support the videos, my favourite videos on youtube still, but i just don't think this is a good idea whatsoever

im entirely in support of this channel and want to see it succeed, but a youtube channel that can fail tomorrow with a algorithm change isnt a investment its a gamble

the prediction that this channel will even be making money in a decade is highly optomistic, maybe even impossible

So the company is valued at 10mil, but apparently a 51% cut is worth 500k while also being the amount of money you expect for a 10% share?

I have a piece of pocket lint and a turnip. Final offer.

Jokes aside, this is really not a good move in the slightest. I love some of the videos on this channel but this feels super suspicious and I don't see why I, or other people, should have to 'invest' into a channel when really all this seems like is paying off a debt which has nothing to do with any of us the viewers. Please do not continue down this route, I would have more respect for you if you just admit later on this was a bad idea and scrap the idea. We all make mistakes and I don't think it's fair to hold someone under that forever, but for now, I can't in good faith support this.

Even without this being an unsafe operation at best, I don't think having people invest in a channel that is irrevocably linked to an algorithm that can change on a whim is a good idea. I know you called it an investment but with something so volatile and unpredictable, it feels more like gambling rather than a risk; with risk at least there is a chance of a reward based on predictions and information but with gambling, it hinges entirely on luck, and in some cases, shady practices. I'd rather take a risk on something like an actual investment in stock rather than an algorithm controlled by a bot that can screw you over at any time it wants.

I and many others do not feel like the evaluation you have given is remotely appropriate for this. Please reconsider your methods going about this as I think that will truly be better for the channel going forward instead of whatever this farce is. I cannot stress enough how much I love this channel and the content it has produced but it is clear to me that I should no longer support it going forward unless things get addressed more in-depth with figures or evidence to support your justification for such a ludicrous evaluation.

I have seen some comments based on a response from someone called 'Coffeezilla' to your previous video. Still, I am a complete outsider as to whomever they may be, simply just a long-time viewer that is surprised, sceptical and apprehensive of support in the recent developments on this channel. Once again, I urge you to put more insight into how this feels from fans, or rather 'investors' perspective and try to understand why we think this way. I know this comment might have come off as a bit mean-spirited but realise I am saying this due to how strong my love is, or was, for this channel and its content.

I hope you understand and wish you well in the future.

Even a blind person can see that this is a huge scam and probably against YouTube’s TOS

I love the content you guys put on here, I really do. You guys make some of the best documentary videos on this site. But I’d rather you ask us to chip in a few bucks to save the channel than whatever this “investment” is. I’d be much more inclined to donate 10$ rather than invest MINIMUM 100$ that you admit won’t be profitable for years to come.

You have to pay off 500k, why not be upfront about it? I get it, no one likes begging for money. It’s awkward and uncomfortable. But I’d rather donate money to someone being honest about why they need it over someone trying to butter me up for an “investment”.

It looks like from the backlash I’m not the only one who feels like this isn’t right. If you’re gonna ask your audience for 500k the least you could do is be upfront and honest about it. We’re not going to fall for some shady BS.

Wow man, you very carefully picked and chose what you were gonna address in this short Q&A. Way to completely gloss over the legitimate concerns people have had on the last video. Its a real shame because this channel is otherwise brilliant and ive really enjoyed the videos and topics you chose but to be completely honest, this aint it.

Horrible investment. This makes no financial sense. If you were truly worried about the financial implications of your past decisions you should be transparent with your viewers and tell them what happened, how much you need and how they can help. Then they must decide whether to help or not. You instead chose to give out an "investment" opportunity that makes NO SENSE. People will NOT make their money back from this. I'm an Economics grad working in financial services. I'm by no means the best at what I do but I'm definitely more informed than the average consumer. My conclusion is to not invest in this unless you want to donate your money. Such a bummer. This is my favourite channel on YouTube.

If anyone is even considering investing look at coffeezilla’s comment on the original video. He explains how shady this really is

Oof, been a good run so far, I've enjoyed your docs about interesting stuff. But VR is def not for me. If that's the direction this channel is going, hopefully down the line we'll see some more quality docs from you. I love the ones about the viruses/hackers, absolutely fantastic stories. But the VR stuff man idk, it's quite the gamble to speculate that it's gonna be the future of content, there's a vast majority of people who couldn't care less about it. But there's definitely an audience for it. Also, had no idea this was a brand and company? I always assumed it was a one-man show making some sweet docs, definitely different from the other content creators I follow. Good luck brother, wish you well.

This is the most complex way of asking for donations I ever heard lmao

Tbh the entire problem comes from the price bro you know it, I know it, everyone knows this.

If you did a normal fundraiser just for yourself for maybe a quarter mil, you would of got it without a single question.

This dude is living in his own reality....

in other words hes asking you for a finacial investment/loan to further is channel which is controlled by an algorythm which isn't in his control. So with such uncertancy i would not trust the investment

I always wondered how you were able to push out such high quality, animated story driven videos at such frequent rates. But now I'm realizing you weren't able to do it after all and now the money is biting you in the back. You should have taken much different approaches to funding your "company" and content years ago before actually trying to pull your viewers into your own mess.

Seeing the downfall of a channel in real time is a new experience for me.

I think the valuation is wrong. I think you're looking at the "company" value as it;s potential to grow on x trajectory. But valuation is based off current performance/worth of the company, and 100x your revenue is not realistic my any metric. Understand this idea came about as a crowdfunded way to buy the previous partner out, and that's fine, but that means you're overvaluing the company/shares so that you dont sell 51% to the public. youve done the maths badly (in a way that you want it to work for you at least)

This feels like a risk, a big one, I can't invest but if this is legitimate
Best of luck
If not
This is the end of the road for this channel, at least for me.

Man, I come back to this channel after a few months because it's easily one of the most creative and fascinatingly brilliant channels on YouTube, and this is what I see. Disrupt fell off, hard, and quickly.

So your valuation is based on what you believe the market will be worth in the future, but not on the current estimated value of the company at present?

"Our valuation is based off my individual subjective estimate of our future value decades down the road, not backed by any third party."

Stuff like this is why I want the like to dislike ratio back

So you’re basically asking us to pay off your debt in the guise of owning a portion of the company? I love your YouTube videos but that’s scammy and fishy af.

Bro, this is not an investment, it's a donation, and it would've been fine to be just that if you didn't try to play it up as anything else. People would've prefered to patron you for something like early access to new videos rather than being dressed up as "investors" and receive some equity that is unlikely to pay off at all.

Love the channel, but 10 million evaluation is absolutely ridiculous. Go to any professional and I would be shocked if they even valued the channel at 5 million dollars let alone 10million dollars

I REALLY want this channel to grow because I love the content and how they do it, but I agree with others, this isn't the way.

I'm sorry to burst your bubble, but that whole 'Metaverse' thing is never going anywhere. There's a reason it's getting meme'd on immensely ever since Zuckerberg announced it. I mean, it's going to be a thing, obviously, but people like him wants to make others addicted to it (like Facebook). Not even the babies that are born today will fall for it, the generations after probably will (they will grow up with it, it'll be the most normal thing for them), but everyone alive today simply won't. So, your whole "10-15 years" plan is absolutely not realistic. If you want a realistic span of years? Think 40-50 years, and I highly doubt many of your team is even going to be alive by then, let alone the Disrupt trademark.

I wish you the best, but I think this might very well be the end.

I won't unsubscribe yet, I'd wait to see the aftermath of all this.

This guy has serious Austin Mcbroom mixed with Andrew tate vibes
He’s living in his own world but needs our 3.5 mil to do it

you know it's going good when a youtuber is selling "stock" in their channel...

You're going down a path that could end up destroying your channel. Everything your doing sounds like a scam and the only reason people aren't already mass unsubscribing is because you seem to genuinely believe it isn't. It's also testament to the quality of your videos as people are willing to hear you out first. The goodwill and patience of your audience will eventually dry up and when it does it will likely be very sudden and devastating.

Honestly, making a very generous 10mil self-evaluation on the hopes that VR will "save the day", a technology that has failed to launch into the mainstream for the past 30 years as anything more than a novelty, just seems nuts and reeks of someone who isn't being honest about the predicament they've found themselves in. This talk of Disrupt being a brand seems rather absurd when the reality on the ground is that its a medium-sized channel that covers niche topics, granted the videos are of high quality. The move should have been earnest about the bad business and financial decisions behind the scenes instead of trying to cloak a solicitation for donations as an "investment".

And Jak has already raised 175k, I just hope people actually do their research before jumping in. If you were candid and open about it, I'm sure we'd be more willing to help. This ain't it though. Love the content, but not dishonesty. Especially after all the crypto scams, and rug pulls.. it's just not a good look at all.

I watched the first video 4 minutes after it came out. Took a peek at the financials. Saw the 466k promissory note on the documents and the statement that the investor funds would be used to cover that first. Noped right out. This was structured incorrectly, and I mean that in the nicest way possible. I believe it is unwise to pitch to investors that Disrupt can expand in scope and performance to net a return on investment when in reality, half a million of investor funds will be used to cover the cost of a buyout before that funding can be utilized to expand content and generate a return. You should have disclosed that when you talked about what the funds would be used for.

You're not a shady corporation, don't make me dig to find that information. Though I understand doing due diligence is what should be done while investing, you must understand that you are shoulder tapping a youtube demographic for investor funding that is made of people who are interested in the weird and wacky facets of life, not 401Ks and financial literacy. Simply put, your audiance should have been offered more transparency so they better understand your situation, and therefore, the decision they are making when it comes to buying shares.

Also. Hire a third party for a valuation. I cannot believe you self-evaluated and then championed the figure you reached.

Crowdfund first to balance your books and get the company healthy, then offer the ability to buy shares. Or, simply paint us the full picture from the jump. Don't sugarcoat people's money.

I wish you the best, but for those reasons, I'm out.

I would say just start with a patreon, and if things go well and everyone is happy THEN move to selling the company

People seem confused between investing and donation, both are VERY different.

1. Investing = the idea that someone will put their own money into an assumed asset that will deliver a profit above the original amount ie put in 100 dollar, receive 120, would be called a 20% return, , in a reasonable time frame, for which the amount is deemed "useful"

DONATION - person gives away their money, NOT expecting a return (a 0% return) on investment.

Problem = when you mask a Donation as an investment, you con people into giving you money under a different pretext than the one falsely advertised ie one cannot invest in someone else's debt, that is a donation, and not an investment.

Better option- Start a new company, bankrupt the current one. Shift Disrupt to a new brand with similar content and shaft the debt holder instead of your viewers (investors).

Seems like WeFunder only works for those seeking investment. I have yet to see a successful investor story from that platform.

It's a dog eat dog world. Where one Disrupt channel fails, another will take it's place. Your videos are entertaining, but I can't see people willing to foot the bill when there are thousands upon thousands of creators out there, some yet to make a name for themselves. I think for the majority, what draws us to YT is it's a free platform for entertainment and educational purposes. Obviously the videos take time (money) and passion to create, but at the end of the day the creators choose and take it upon themselves to produce/release this content. It used to be purely a passion project for people - now it's a full time job. Again, enjoy the content and videos, but they're not a necessity for myself and many others like me. Simply a way to pass time. On that note it's super unhealthy how much time we spend on sites like this, scrolling through content - most of it unnecessary. I'm one of those offenders sure, but even I can see that it would take a real fool to invest even more than spare time to this. Now we should give up our hard earned money and "invest" with no expectations of a return? Just because the author(s) CHOSE to go way over-budget and beyond their means to create said content and put themselves in debt. The proof is in the pudding... you're in crippling debt! But you serve it to your viewers a worthwhile long term investment. I don't get it. This just screams SCAM!

Start a patreon, people will respect the honesty and you may be able to actually make more than you would if you continue down this route.

This channel was just really entertaining and quality videos to clickbait trash in a hurry.

I have a genuine question that i hope you answer, no hate.

What does Jordan think about this videos attention/negative feedback? Is he more worried that if his portion of disrupt is being tainted from the negative feedback you're getting with this?

Glad that something is said, but I still believe entirely that a $10m valuation is entirely speculative and should not be taken with more than a grain of salt

I really love your content and been watching your channel for years now, but I think you've made the wrong decision here, not to mention that this is extremely shady. You could've just made a Patreon and avoided all this mess. This is just like what Yes Theory did when trying NFTs

i genuinely think that there are more transparent and less risky ways to pay off this debt with the audience you have. try streaming! we would definitely watch— we’d sub and support those streams financially. another idea: sell merch. you have fantastic design sense, i’m sure you’d come up with something dope. i’d definitely buy something. another idea is getting some bigger sponsors or even approaching netflix/adult swim/etc streaming company to invest in a disrupt TV show. you’re the best editor on youtube and have quite the portfolio to show them.

we love your channel distrupt, but assuming this much financial responsibility to your viewers while still dodging our key concerns seems a bit scummy. i’m sorry this is happening, i hope you rethink this venture.

Internal evaluation of a company is just one way of saying "i want more money than this whole operation is worth and don't want to prove that value to the proper authorities"
Saying you are with 10 mil only because you are a YouTube channel and plan to make VR stuff is saying that any YouTube with a million or about subs could just pull a 5 million dollar evaluation out of their ass because they work for YouTube.
Just because you work on YouTube does not give you the value YouTube has as a company. Same as video game developers cant say they are millionaire because they work for big game studio that makes millions of dollars.

i believe a patreon would’ve been a better solution than this. not many people are supportive of such funding. especially with the vr content not being highly sought after.

I really dont want to see this channel die so please just call this what it is: you are looking for donations. There wont be a return in any forseeable future and thats okay but Im not willing to "invest" that much money especially in a time like this. Though I would be willing to donate a far smaller amount as would many others. Dont take this as ill intent but take a step back before you end up pushing something you will regret.

I honestly never heard of people investing on a YouTube channel. Look, i'm no investment expert but i honestly think this is a bad investment. For Distrup, i hope you can somehow get out from this situation and find a better way. I love your videos but this is not a good path to continue.

You proposed this as an "investment" rather than paying off a debt. If someone "invests" in your debt, you just pass the parcel of debt. No one is going to make money on your debt when it's 470,000 - 500k deep. I think any potential investors would demand to know when they are expected to break even and profit upfront, for the amount you are asking, then you claim you can't give those predictions by law.. What law? You sound evasive.. Just be honest, you want viewers to pay off your debt, it would sound more straight forward or put up more collateral% because not many people have 4,5, 6 figure sums for you, Dragons Den is much more lenient than you. I think you need to extend shares to 30, 40% among buyers, not 10%....

he’s just trying to get his viewers to pay $500,000 to his partner so he can have 90% control, while (if funded) proving that the 10% he tricked his viewers into buying shows the value of his channel. This is just him trying to turn his technically $1,000,000 (since 50% was $500,00 for his partner) into a $10,000,000 value.

If he’s shady about it now, he definitely won’t be sharing those new profits to his 10% when he controls 90%

we're just not going to fall for this one. Patreon exists, and don't see us as dumb fools

Am I the only one that found the explanation behind the 10 million dollar valuation bullshit? Please correct me if I'm wrong, but wasn't it just that they expect Disrupt to have an influence on VR in the future?

Shouldn't your valuation be based on your channel's performance, not Youtube's or the upcoming VR?

So many people would have supported this if you didn’t try to label it as an investment.

Self evaluation based on your reasoning would never hold up on Shark Tank. They'd stop you there and have you re-evaluate your numbers. 10 million is an extremely high evaluation for a company in debt almost half a mil with barely any potential for investors as it currently stands. "I feel" and "I think" it's going to grow is not the same as a proven track record of growth that is likely to continue.

How nice of you to advertise this "investment" in the first video with a unspecified dividend, but corrected yourself here in a sidenote, that there wont be any dividend (for years).

You really can't just assign your own made up value to the company just to make yourself look more attractive to potential investors.

Dodging the real concerns and only answering the ones that you can somewhat justify is making this smell more and more like a scam.

Thank God I'm not the only one that found it weird someone's trying to sell their channel

This is still the worst trade deal in the history of trade deals

Based on my generous calculations using public figures, and YT averages, this channel has made $450k over its lifetime. But you say its worth $10m? Based on far future hopes? Thats a big joke to anyone who has any experience in actual investing.

And to add insult to injury you're selling us 20% of a channel to pay off 50%.

I'm honestly curious what SEC has to say on this.

I really enjoy your documentary-style videos about mysteries and the like, but I don't really like the idea of investing in a youtube channel that is trying paying off a debt just so that you can make VR and shows; that's just not for me. I feel like you could pay off this debt more easily by making a patreon and giving the fans more of what they want.

None of us want to pay off your debt for you. It’s not normal for a YouTuber to ask his fans / viewers to do this. A percentage of your viewers already pay for your subscription service, what more can you expect us to do other than that? Nobody wants to take a risk for your channel because you put yourself into debt. It seems like you’re either fully expecting this to work and all the problems are gonna go away, or you’re trying to pull us all down with you to cushion your fall

This is a clear scam, please don’t give your hard earned money to this. Channel owner got in over his head and now needs your money, never invest in a YouTube channel. Unsubbed

If the channel isn't financially viable to continue, I'd honestly just recommend quitting while you're ahead. It's not worth it to ruin your good will and all the great work you've done so far to go down some sketchy path in desperation. I get that money is tough and there might be things yet explored, but I don't think this is the way to do all this.

Honestly, I'd have been more tempted to give you money if you'd just asked for donations to buy out your old business partner. At least that would have been honest. Even if you're 100% doing this investment thing in good faith, it still feels extremely sketchy.

Another Issue with something like this is that the last two videoos already lowerd the value that you had originally set. There is no way I would invest in something that is valued at including a loyal trusting fanbase and now is in such an odd position. An investment should have a ways to value those things in

This seems really risky and I can see some issues with this.

Great channel amazing videos. Love your content so much but this is a terrible idea

I will say that Disrupt has value, like in the future I could see Disrupt being a TV show on a streaming service because it's so high quality, but ehhhh, I'm not sure about this still, be careful anyone considering

I'm no economics major but isn't a company's valuation typically its current estimated economic value? To me it sounds like you're pulling this gigantic valuation from future prospects and potential growth that has not been achieved yet.

And this just scrapes the surface of things that sound bizarrely sketchy and weird about this whole thing. I'm trying to imagine a single successful investor who would see this idea and say with confidence "yes that is a sound and worthwhile investment," and none come to mind.

I love this channel more than probably any other channel on youtube presently, but I am GIGANTICALLY disappointed by this ask. Personally, it lowers your credibility and makes me feel less inclined to support and consume the content you create, which sucks because I do love it.

This could have been so easily avoided with a GoFundMe or a Patreon or literally any other alternative route of fundraising that doesn't attempt to distort your need of funds as some sort of shady investment opportunity with numbers that are not adding up to me, and from the looks of it, many others.

I really hope you'll listen to some of these criticisms and reconsider the ways in which you're asking your community to support your channel. I'm sure many would love to support when the opportunity is presented with clarity, transparency, and viability.

But this? This just isn't it.

This video should have been a recant of the last video and an honest conversation about how you got into a bad position and how need help to continue your channel. Instead, you doubled-down on, what completely appears to be, a desperate attempt to take advantage of your most dedicated subscribers. It's sad to watch this. We were all huge fans. Read the room. After the first video, people were admonishing this action, but were kindly saying that they were still willing to keep watching and supporting the channel. I was with them, tentatively, until this doubling-down, follow-up vid. Sorry, man. I just won't be able to take anything you do seriously, anymore. Guess I'll see you in future CoffeeZilla and BarelySociable investigation vids.

Love the channel but the idea of crowd funding is to risky.

The lack of guaranteed dividends or a pay out schedule means this is charity, not an investment. That is also ignoring the logic of valuation and the glaring discrepancy between that figure and the payout necessary for the current partner…

The FIRST THING you say in this video makes it seem like you HAVEN'T bought out this unnamed "prior member" yet, making him sound like a CURRENT owner. Which is it?

everyone is saying the same thing, good luck dude you’ll need it

This man really thinks he can just decide how much his company is worth with no financial modeling and expect people to buy into it

Did he actually say you might not see a ROI for decades?!

Idk man I feel like this isn't safe or too risky

If we are paying off your debt for $500k of the other owners 50% equity, we should be getting 50% equity. The company cannot pay that off, so why look for investors to pay it off and give them less equity. It’s a ridiculous offer.

I was one of the victims of faze kay scam (save the kids) and ik by the sound of this shady, like I lost half of my saving from that and my parents scolded me for it, for anyone who's gonna invest, THINK TWICE.

A lot of speculation for a channel on a platform you don't own. While you have other avenues of sharing your media, it all hinges on this channel and the possibility that the YouTube algorithm will never change.

You cannot price a company NOW at $10m when it has $500k debt and does not project $10m value until 10+ years in the future. It may have a $10m value in 10 years, nobody will know, but your current offer is a scam. You actually value your company at $1m right now because your 50% share partner wants $500k. You are diluting your viewers more than what you believe your company is currently worth.

It's not even worth $1m now honestly, you have $27k net profit 2020, and $137k net profit 2021.

I'm gonna pretend this never happened and continue to enjoy your videos because this was insulting to anyone who knows about investing.

Really hope you find a way to pay off your debt without going through with this. Love the videos and hope this doesn’t affect the future of the channel

I feel like we're not helping you expend the company how you see fit, we are helping you first to pay off the debt then maybe, if the debt is fully payed we will be able to help you for what you vision for your company.

Also you said (on the website I believe) that it is unlikely that the investent will retern anything but a few pennies for a few years, which is fine but will the company survive the debt to bear return ?

Is the YouTube advertising revenue the income of disrupt?

If so this is no foundation to ask for investments

For all the Dragons' Den fans out there it's the classic.

Dragons: Why have you given a completely insane valuation?

Disrupt: Because I believe in the future this channel will be valued at 10 mil

Dragons: I am investing today, so what about todays value?

Disrupt: ....

You better be coming at this with good intentions, because even though that will not save you alone and the damage has been done
You'll at least have not meant to look this bad.
Regardless, shitty idea to pay off debt. I'm afraid of handling money but I know a scam when I see one.
You've lost my support. Goodbye.

i can't wait for the bonfire-commentary on this, when it blows up, I might even chip in, i have videos from months ago, but this is hot topic stuff lol

makes me really sad, i love this guys videos, but this "investment" is not the move

You have spent years making your fans smarter, and dodge the questions you know they are smart enough to ask. I sincerely hope your channel will not be like one of the stories you cover.

This doesn't feel like a good idea. Still hoping it's a lapse in judgement and he's going to backtrack and do a patreon or something. This seems like one of those ideas you bounce around for a minute but never follow through due to it not being a good idea.

I would rather see you do literally anything else my man!!💯 10 million!? let's just be honest....no YouTube channel with just 1 million subs is worth all that!!💯 "we agree,too disagree"

It's not an Investment it's more of a Donation.

Remember how we all said it’s amazing how high quality the videos on Disrupt are? Yea I think we know why now lol

500k$ seems like a bullshit price to discourage buying. It's a polite 'fuck off, not for sale'. But he bought it. Is 50% revenue from the channel worth it? Fuck no. But if those 50% would be spread around the actual buyers, that would be at least fair. Right now they're paying for 50% but getting 10%? And even if I wanted to invest, where are the guarantees that this random guy would actually continue to create videos?

Sounds to me like that valuation is about to drop immensely with the amount of dodging, and obfuscation you're doing in this video alone.

Sometimes I really can't believe this is what capitalism leads people to doing.

I went from respecting you to losing all sense of respect. You made good documentaries to scamming people of their money.

patreon, it looks like you dont even have a join button for membership so that's leaving money on the table, a go fund me, merch, ko fi, cameo
theres so many other options to help pay for things, and people appreciate honestly, just be like hey I messed up, I was panicking about the huge debt I got myself into, and I just want to be able to continue making videos and thought this would be the best way to go about working through this problem, but after seeing the feedback I realize that this isnt the direction I should have taken, and then implement normal things to help you financially that people would actually want to contribute to, rather than whatever the hell this is

you should keep it or sell 49%
so you get full control

Why couldn't you just setup a patreon like most other YouTube channels?

Hello, i've been following for quite afar your videos, and I totaly disagree with your idea. I don't know what you are planning over this campaign, but this sounds really scammy IMO.

If you see this, please ask yourself why they are so many dislikes on your videos. As @fnm04 suggested, you should go to patreon or another platform to get funds.
Please take notes on your youtube comments and please stop ignoring them, all you will have at the end is more money loss than you'll win.

I was so excited after seeing the video thinking that 500k was going towards the future of disrupt. But after hearing that you're already in debt of 500k to the co-founder, this is ridiculous and misleading as shit. You've completely avoided mentioning that fact and I really hope you dont meet your goal as you've already doomed it with the buyout that you couldnt afford. You've made some terrible decisions and your fans and not supposed to be hear to solve those for you.

The way I see this is.. there is no investment. All is based on hopes and dreams of the far far future, with the current objective being: pay off debt to the previous partner. And then you maybe hope to someday get a return on the money people gave you. If you wanted to crowdfund keeping this channel afloat... just say it upfront. Don't bullshit people into thinking this is a sane investment.

There's only so many internet stories you can tell, just having cool 3d effects on your youtube channel doesn't make it valued at 10m or a worthy investment. You aren't really creating any product besides disrupt+, which has a very small userbase and which we don't even get a return on profit from. I love this channel, but asking people to invest in it is quite shady. Set up a patreon or kickstarter or something

What stops owners to say "we FEEL like we are valued at gazillion dollars". Valuation audits are done by auditors, third-party that has no conflict of interest unlike owners or potential owners. This is crowdfunding to buyout half of the channel. Why don't you just go to bank and get a loan if this thing is such a no-brainer and business will be going just fine?

Well...this going to make the tech news. Buckle your seatbelt.

Thanks for clearing the air on some things. I'm still of the opinion this investment debt pay-down is probably not going to be a good return, especially when a lot of assumptions about VR are being made while it remains high cost and out of the reach of many. Your also making a lot of assumptions of YouTube revenue which is pretty pathetic compared to other platforms.

Again, I think you should consider moving Disrupt+ under Nebula or another premium content provider because creators there are getting paid well. You are certainly established enough to negotiate for an advance there as well.

I don't know what the future of Disrupt holds but I hope you can remain committed to creating high quality content in some form.

I love Disrupt and the videos but this is shady as

Dont invest in this guys... way too shady

Just create a new channel I'm sure people will flock to it once they know you have moved

This is really shady, I would advise talking to a professional before you invest in this business as this is pretty sketchy.

I'm sorry to break it down this way but you've completely lost your mind, dude. This is the shadiest business I've seen in a while. Why all the fuss about "investing" if potential investors won't even make a cent in the upcoming years? You should've been more honest, direct and open on this matter

You should have just asked for a donation instead of creating this risky business model of "owning a piece of Disrupt".

looks like the security camera from mcdonalds has picked up some interesting footage

Sucks to hear. Not giving any money though.

looks like Jack needs to steal some credit cards on his own (LOUD SNIGGERING)

This guy starting a gofundme would've made more sense than this.

I'm not Canadian, but for those who are, would it be possible to invest via crypto to get around this issue?

You say that you’ll give a percentage of the profits of your YouTube to the investors. You need to define what your costs are. If this channel makes in a year 1,000,000, who’s to stop you saying the costs were 999,999. Giving a net profit of 1 dollar. Seems fishy. Also, investing in a sinking ship, 400k in debt, no thanks. Should have angled this differently and tried promoting patreon or something

I’m very new to this channel, and I quite enjoy the content.

As for this venture, I’ve gotta side with the general consensus. This ain’t it chief.

P A T R E O N

I really want to invest, but like a lot of comments are saying, it seems shady; I understand and would be willing to pay $100 in investing to the company, but there’s a lot that doesn’t add up

I don’t believe in the investment either but I would love to see this thing go to the moon just to see all you armchair investors don’t know anything

Bro delete this right now, you're boned.

Your going to kill this channel.

Start being honest with us and for gods sake don't EVER self evaluate your company. Get a third party.

Incoming apology video

That was a very quick (within the day) upload to double down and regurgitate what the comments already discerned on their own from the funding page, very nice Jak.

We don't truly know what's going on behind the scenes, but this seems a bit far fetched. I'd rather donate to a Patreon than invest hundreds of dollars in a YouTube channel.

fore those who can't see dislikes, 2k likes to 2.9k dislikes so far.

I can't believe that this Q&A video is even worse than the announcement video

This is like watching the last videos of a survivor in some sort of apocalypse movie

All the love i have for youtube is because of disrupt.

I am just waiting for him to run with all the money at this point lmao

you dont know these people, or owe them anything! do not give money to a content creator

Dude.. for real, just delete the whole thing and make another video being honest about the amount you need and why.
I love your channel, but clearly this is not the right approach for most of your fan base and they are telling it to you in plain english.

Most people are fine with the idea of donations if thats what it takes to keep disrupt afloat, picturing it as an investment is just a bad idea in every possible sense.

Why set a minimum at $100? For many people that love channel and want to support it, that’s way too much to ask. Also, asking for that much upfront is off-putting and could drive away people who would have been willing to donate that much anyway.

Unfortunately I'm not in a position to take a share, but I urge you to create a patreon or something because I, and many others , could afford that and want to help you succeed and keep creating

Start a Patreon. Why are you doing this? It's a scam, clearly, and illegal to boot. I'm very disappointed.

I'm onto you. This is just an experiment and front for a video study on crowd funding vulnerability-- I see what you're doing.

For everyone who can't see dislikes:

1.9k likes.
3.1k dislikes.

(gonna update this once every few hours)

So the truth comes out. You just want investments so you can keep creative control. If you want to be transparent you should probably go into what caused the breakup. Disrupt offers unique and original content but this particular market is going to heat up with the exponential growth of content creators.

Also, you say that you made your evaluation based off the two industries that you have a foot in, being Youtube and VR. Distrupt has a subscription platform of it's own which, as far as I'm aware, is not even a part of this Youtube ecosystem that you speak of. Then for VR you justify your evaluation because "you think" VR will be as common as a smartphone in the next 10-15 years, and provide no reasoning as to how you made that prediction. With that in mind, you also say that the investment would be used towards creating "virtual reality experiences" over the next 5-7 and to "build that secondary division of value in the company alongside the video division of disrupt" .

You're just saying a lot of words with a whole lot of nothing here.

The more and more I think about this the more messed up it is.

The valuation makes no sense based on your current growth rate. Mid last year it was worth apparently $1M and now in a year you have x10 valuation. The YouTube statistics didn't change. The current growth rate in social blade indicate you will duplicate your total views and subscribers by 2026.

The only way to save this thing is by having the algorithm recommend you like crazy and increase the upload rate for which you are not allocating any investment resources.

If you take the assets, liabilities and real growth projections you end up with a company size closer to $500K-$1M.

We don't have information on disrupt+ numbers or the merchandise.

The VR content that is being sold as the next revolution is just a bunch of 360° videos. A company with this size, growt rate and expertise cannot innovate that much into this field while being solvent and maintain the other business areas afloat.

One last thing to add, the difference is content, growth and views since the co-owner buyout have not had any significant difference to even indicate the path Jak wants to take the company is the correct way. It really seems like he just wanted to take full control of the channel to have more revenue and now cannot pay the debt. What is more likely to happen is that if the money is not collected then disrupt will die and Jak will create his own channel which would take us to the same path A but saving the viewers $500K of "investment"

Simply not a good investment... 9.7 million valuation based on future industry performance instead of actual revenue. Bro is out of his mind.

Well I guess it's gonna have to be "path B".

$10k is debatable. $10m is hilarious. Disrupt now a comedy channel?

Make a C-CORP and actually sell shares. It's as simple as that. It doesn't need to be "public"

Your evaluation is bunk and not backed by any calculations or third parties. Also you don't explain why the debt exists at all. I hope the original partner comes back, that nobody falls for this scam, and you keep making videos

VR isn't a wet fart but not a firecracker either. Not sure I'd focus my business around it.

I am super uncomfortable with this and I'll be unsubbing for the time being. Best wishes. I've loved the content on the channel but I'm not a fan of this direction and I think commenting and unsubbing might speak louder than anything else I could possibly do.

bye for now-

I love your content, I do. But with what you're doing, I'm unsubscribing until you take accountability and admit that you were wrong.

Otherwise, This is the end of the road. Another promising content creator to add to the mountain high pile of disappointments.

Time to unsubscribe.

You’d get toasted on shark tank

Sure you can’t tell us future projections but you can tell us past revenue or at least what your revenue streams are. Feels like putting money in a dark hole

This seems really gross. Please don't do this y'all

Damn, it kinda sucks that I just found out about this channel today, and they’re already scamming for money. :/

This guy is insane. No way anybody invests. Nobody cares about speculative future value, only current.

We all can agree that all of this does seem kinda of weird though right?

From the looks of it you have run the company into the ground. Trading ownership for capital until you were set to loss control of it all. The former member has 51% with only 450k $ how are we supposed to value the company ten times higher than they do and believe you can can actually make money this go around.

Wait, you openly admitted that the valuation was made by you and no 3rd party? Are you asleep? That literally means "this valuation has no meaning and i made it up"

Guys dont worry, he's just planning on making a documentary video on his channel's downfall in the future

1:00 bro your channel is simply not worth that much... stop the lies. the previous owner owned 50% of the channel, why are you only giving out 10% for the full amount of the goal???

Why didn’t he mention all this in the 1st video? He would of got fully funded. Now we just have people pity investing.

If you want your questions to be answered please leave them on the Wefunder page.

“Internal Evaluation.” 🚩🚩🚩That’s already enough risk to me

DON'T FUCKING DO IT MAN! YOU'LL RUIN EVERYTHING YOU'VE WORKED FOR, LOTS OF WASTED HOURS STANDING, CHALLENGES AND SUCH FOR THIS?! NAH MAN PLEASE GET THAT MONEY BUG OUT OF YOUR HEAD, COLD HEADED THINKING AND START A PATREON!!!

Honestly bro just start a new business or company, if this is just you then that's all you need. Make a post hey disrupt is now this channel ect people would much rather that, and we will pay pateron for the content help you get out if the debt.

I loved disrupt but I honestly feel like the quality of content had dropped and gotten a bit stale and this seems like a pump and dump to cash in before they abandon this and go do somthing else

If you need money to pay your debt, just say it, don´t scam.
I love all your videos but this ... idk it doesnt sound legit for me to do an invesment.
Sorry.

bruh, just do a patreon.. be upfront about the debt you owe, a channel of a million followers im sure alot of people could chip in a dollar or two, but asking for people to use 100 dollars at minimum to help you out isn't really a nice way to beg if you're gonna beg for help.

Don't try to double down on something if you can't keep a promise, especially with people's money that they've worked hard for. The content is great, but is it so great you'd be willing to sacrifice viewers trust?

are you having hard time keeping yourself invested in the channel in a financial side of view

Dude what happen? Lets be real, we like your videos. We like your experiments. YouTube & VR. You are relying on YOUTUBE & ........."VR".

0:35 no, you just got done saying you have 460k in debt. this isn't allowing you to expand the company at all. its allowing you to pay off a huge debt that you have created for yourself.
0:50 how did you extrapolate the current position of disrupt? what makes you believe that you are going to have incredible growth every year?
you emphasize in the risks section of your operations page that YouTube is very risky as "The free content branch of Disrupt is our primary means of revenue. As such, we rely heavily on the YouTube algorithm to promote our content to viewers. As of now, the platform doesn’t specifically tell us what does or doesn’t get promoted by it’s algorithm." you also state in your financials page that ad revenue and brand integrations have been your greatest source of revenue for both 2020 and 2021. "However, over Q1-Q2 2022, we have moved away from 3rd-party brand integrations in favor of advertising our own products " so you are killing one of your greatest revenue sources this year in order to advertise your new products? what does the revenue look like so far on those products?
2:25 if anybody can find me the law that he is speaking of i would be very interested. Somehow i have the feeling that he will not give it not because of legal reasons, but because the only way to get to his insane valuation is by having incredible growth for many years in a row.
3:00 it seems to be a quick way to make money for you.
Attempting to expand so quickly into brand new revenue streams while your current revenue stream is not stable, and while you have a debt that is nearly 7x the amount of cash on hand, does not seem like a great business plan.
In their operations page, when talking about their merchandise, somehow they state that the budget to create merchandise is $10/month for AI license, $30/month for contractor. What about the cost of actually making the merchandise? shirts and other physical items are not free to create. what is this contractor doing? you can see contractors listed in the financials as well, making a bit over 38k last year. yet there is no explanation anywhere that i can find about who the contractor is or what they are doing.
Stop calling this an investment, this is just a donation to get you out of financial trouble. that is all it is.
I do not understand why instead of growing the youtube channel that you are already making 130k / yr on, instead you decide to move to merchandise sales and a subscription site, i understand that you want disrupt to become much more than it is now, but why move away from the only thing you know for sure is profitable. they didn't release quarterly statements, i wonder if Q1 22 looks like they are doing better or worse than 2021.

Holy shit, wow. You doubled down on it. Homie just divert course, everyone knows what this is. Set up a patreon, and be transparent about what this is about to the public. That is the only way you can slightly salvage this shit lmao.

I really would like some NFTs with disrupted monkey to this. If I see some you got all my money.

You should just do a Patreon? This feels like a risky investment and the valuation seems very high

Ill give you $100 but i want 10% of the company.

this channel averages 2 mil views a month, no way you make enough a month to even give yourself the worth of 10 mil.

"my audience are a bunch of cash cows for a lost cause" - Disrupt TV

would you look at that, the channel made to document large internet scams is now pulling a large internet scam

I'll...I'll wait for Coffezilla's take, I don't know about this man, it's risky but not shady at least I think...maybe?

Edit: Nope, it's really risky, like...really really risky, investing it's really serious business, come on man, just be transparent about what's going on, all of that debt?

I know this little hickup won't destroy Disrupt and I hope that this channels succeeds

Damn bro… super disappointed to see one of my fav altdoc channels go down this way

Thank you very much sir you motivated me a lot and I'm benefiting from it now, My greatest happiness is the $ 28,000 biweekly profit I get consistently

i love ur content but you’re literally pulling out a $10m value out of assumptions and its ridiculous. u cant just assume or predict ur channels worth based on actions that will be done in the upcoming future. nobody knows whats gonna happen in yt when we all know how weird its algorithm is.

i understand that this assuming stuff occurs alot when it come to investing. but this is ridiculous, saying this as a fan of you myself. and i dont like how you couldnt just be upfront about this buyout thing from the first video, since it seems like theres no NDAs preventing you from doing so.

this couldve been avoided by doing so many other things besides selling away 10% of your channel. patreon, another side channel, possibly a gofundme, commissions, sponsors idfk theres alot to choose from.

I thought that you might come out after the last video and say sorry, or at least answer the actual top questions, rather you just picked questions which don't add any value to our real questions, this channel is going down the wrong path and will eventually die if you don't wake up. Sad to see you out of all people do this.

This is a giant ruse. Well played

The funny thing about this is this is the kind of person you would make a video on

It was good while it lasted folks. I expect a SunnyV2 video somewhere in the future tbh.

WALK THIS BACK AND JUST DO A $250,000 FUNDRAISER.

Holy shit just walk this back and say oopsie nvm. I don’t know what kind of legal advice you’re currently receiving, but I would go get a second opinion from a random lawyer who doesn’t know you. Cause your current lawyer(s) are just being “yes men.” OR you’re just not listening to sound legal advice cause this is risky AF.

I’m SO SAD to see this super dope channel take such a scammy shady road.

from looking at company financials it will take around about 7.5 years to even meet the evaluation you bileve the company is worth now i love the channel and i enjoy the content made but youtube has a good chance of not even being around in 7.5 years , theres a chance your audience may have faded or you may have decided to do something else 7 years is a very very long term investment and reletive to other investments of peoples money even if your income grows by 3.5x like stated in your growth targets a share holder would have made significantly more moeny with investing in a index fund, not to mention the fact that this is a best case scenario. If you are going to invest i would reccomend reconsidering personally i think the investing idea was a bad idea for this channel and that donations would have been much better. i feel sorry for u man but this just isnt the right way of going about paying off your debts. the way i see it is a high risk low reward investment that would make much more in safer investments. and at the end of the day it is your investors who will lose money not you . i reccomend either asking for donations or you may have to sell the channel , it dosnt make me happy either but it is much better than casuing average people to lose 500 k overall

Dude just start a gofundme at this point. This isn’t an investment for anybody. It’s literally a fundraiser.

The only problem with this “investment” is that you have specifically garnered one of the most collectively intelligent audiences on YouTube… you know.. the type of folks who would never buy into a deal that sounds as dismal as this one does.

I don’t understand the approach. You’re a smart guy. You must understand your audience is also very smart… strange 😵‍💫

Can't wait for the channel to become an nft news channel

Sounds like this "51% owning departing co-founder" isn't in an amicable mood

Past performance and earnings as well as any assets AND debts should be considered when calculating the current Value of your company. Assets minus liabilities. Assets minus $500,000 in your case. 😳 gulp!

Next Video:

"I spent a week investing in NFTs, here's what happened"

at this point if you sold your youtube thumbnails as nfts, you probably would get less hate than this ridiculous invesment bs

He never answered where we could even sell the shares. A for effort on this fundraiser but for people who actually invest regularly this is just a donation in man. Shouldve made a cryptocurrency or coin to sell. No ability to sell is just a ponzi scheme lol

This is an absolutely awful idea, this would run the channel down the drain.

More stoner hacking docs less begging 🙏💪

It's a better "investment" to just give me $10 because at least you lose 90% less...

for the love of god, please just make a patreon

So investors may see a return on investment in 10-15 yrs so long as you don’t like umm die or something..

Smells like a hell of a scam, just too intransparent.
This VR bs. is just a blank ripoff, there is no real money in VR atm. and if your company's worth is based upon the possibility there might be in 10-15 years, that's just straight up illegal.

This is one of my favorite channels, but this sounds weird and sketchy. I don’t know how I feel about this

If you need donations for your videos / have money issues why don't you just ask people to donate instead of shady fake future value predictions.

Great, I'm Canadian so I couldn't even throw money even if I wanted to.

So you said you valued the company at 10mil because of where you expect the channel and YouTube to grow... So what you're saying is that that's not a valuation of the company in its current state?

I think this topic will only bring your channel statistics down

EDIT: therefore lowering the channel's value

also i agree with others, the valuation is closer to 1 million, not 10 million, if the other guy is getting 51% and this 500k he wants to raise, he says, is precisely to stop the other guy getting 51%. Here's why it's a scam. Based on the valuation and his channel being in existence for 10 years since 2012, that means 100% income of 100k on average, correct?. if people are buying 10% shares, 10% revenue "investors" will fight over is 10k PER YEAR, and there are likely to be hundreds of investors, so even when disrupt IS in profit again, the investors of more than 500 dollars are unlikely to ever make that back. so even if it WERE a real investment, is very poor quality returns to be expected, little to no return is even possible, based on the valuation

Eh, you must not be in that much of a rush if you're not too worried about Canadian fans. Great vids but that was 🤯

Business plan?
Whats the real value of the company? Cant base value on what you think you might do someday within the next 10 years possibly if my plan goes right.

Paying off a debt is not an investment

no no stop please this is not what anyone wants. Patreon already exists and does the same thing without the complication or fuss come on

as much as i like your videos, this just seems like you've made mistakes and need help. but instead of a patreon, it's some kind of weird sketchy investment.

Why should this co-founder leave? What would happen if they stayed?

Look, I love your channel but this is really shady and sounds like a scam of some kind….

Also dont invest in this, It might be a scam and its very shady. hes doing this for money 😐cringe, you only care about money but not your viewers.

RIP to a previously good channel. 🪦

'some may disagree with this valuation, that's ok' lmfaooo bro not even trying to convince the 'investors'. why may some disagree with the valuation?? because its all in his mind. 😂

You either die a hero or live long enough to see yourself become the villain

I am saving copies of these videos so I can warn and protect people from this scam. How ironic you storytelling about scammers has got you obsessed with trying it for real. Delusional

A shame to see a Channel a lot liked to see some shady scam like this ashame

ill still love this channel

I feel like he got a gun to his head and his forced to do all this. Considering what kind of content he usually put out

Another YT channel DOWN THE DRAIN

Who cares I get something to own and it sounds fun! It's better than a Patreon.

NFT's are evolving guys

The whole reason you want us to give you money is so you can pay off $460,000 of debt which you owe... really? Jesus dude... Jak, we aren't idiots.

Dude, just stop this. Stop lying, just come clean. The majority of people haven't been fooled and the short term gain you gained from the people who believed you isn't gonna help you in the long run, and it's only hurt you and your future projects and career. This type of stuff WILL stick with you, this isn't you slipping up and saying something you shouldn't of, this isn't you getting cancelled for some stupid shit on twitter, this is a scam. Please just stop, apologize, and focus on what made this channel great in the first place.

The biggest question is the $500,000 debt.

'Trust me bro, I'll pay you back'

When money got involved, youtube became toxic.
I've been here 14 years.
This is annoying.

i UNsubscribed just now. People be aware, it's physically impossible to buy someones debt.. debt is "negative money" that you are turning into positive, for him, essentially balancing his sheet while unbalancing your own. IF ONLY he came out and said "i need donations, my channel is in debt" that has a tottally different meaning than "invest in my debt" ....... how you word what you say means everything.... But no one is gonna own anything of Disrupt until you come OUT of debt, THEN you sell shares. Selling debt is literally a scam..... thats like saying, "guys i got 2 million debt (no specific mention of what the debt consists of) lie about the 2m (which was used to buy a ferrari) then claim it's business expenses....... and even worse is, YOUR debt is not OUR problem.

good job ignoring everyone's concerns from the first video lol

How can yall be that much in debt? I support, but none of this makes sense

or... OR! Make an ASMR channel, you have the voice for it!

Well it was nice knowing you, shame to see what you’ve stooped too 😔

Hmm. I'm a little confused. Is this an experiment or are you really trying to provide something of value in exchange for money? You couldn't just use patreon or ads at the intro or something?

This has to be satire

This is textbook Grifting. I also think the guy has a massive ego. Maybe making unrealistically high quality video's and too many staff you can't actually pay has been your rise, but also downfall

what people need to understand is he really can’t pay you a dime u til that 500k debt is payed off. He the. has to get another surplus of income from youtube to even pay you back. Just like he said, you can’t expect any type of return for years to come. This is such a risky investment you might as well call it a fuckin scam. Also something to remember. if he was good at making money he wouldn’t need to do this in the first place.

This is the worst decision this channel could have made. It’s a shame considering the quality of your past content, I hope you take a good look in the mirror and figure out how to get out of the hole you dug yourself without scamming others

alright cya when you finally start nfts disrupt so the final shreds of your dignity are removed and you get to make a marginal profit to pay off the debts you owe

you should pay off 10k of the debt so you can owe the squid game number

"Tell me you want to fuck up your company without telling me you want to fuck up your company"

I cant help but laugh because im listening to a guy talk about finances while having fish vision.

this just seems like begging for money with another coat of paint

cant wait to see a rise and fall of disrupt vid from sunnyv2 or smthn lmao

Welp this is a shame. I'll be awaiting the Coffeezilla vid on this.

dude read the room...no one is buying this bs.

you would have been better off selling merch.

Coffeezilla boutta drop one, I feel it

I need you to stop doubling down on pretending this isn't to pay off your debt, i like your stuff but be upfront about it this isn't going to go well

You just could have done product placements and have made millions. You need to start taking this more like a YouTube channel than a media company

You are fucking up big time...Start to produce mediocre but intresting content and do product placements and it would be fine. Rn this is just a scam.

RIP channel
you have failed to account for the channel being killed off by this very action

I don’t understand why you didn’t just create a patreon? You could have gotten tens of thousands of dollars a month on top of ad revenue
Why all this?

Ok guys we need a reupload channel just in case

damn bro you were my fav channel, nice financial scam you have going on

No idea what the fuck is going on, but seems like a great time to unsubscribe!

Saying you're worth 10 mil because you're in a market you expect to grow is obscene. You're valuating yourself based off what you expect your brand to be worth in the future, and you're talking about decades. But you aren't decades in the future, you're in the present when you can't even pay off the 400/500k in liabilities.
Kinda of a joke to expect your fans to pay you money while they will get no return, well at least not for a decade as you say.
So what, a 1.4 mill dub channel averaging maybe 700k per video is 10 mill. A yikes. A big yikes is my personal verdict. Think you've lost my respect

People are not going to wait 5-10yrs…. Don’t invest.

Where do I invest?

Researching and then producing several videos on successful scams doesn't make one equipped to pull off one of their own.

Yeah but why sell it? Just keep making videos

Ha! These disrupt people are living in a fantasy world. The product they offer is not unique or special, there are many other creators waiting to take their place that are just as talented. It was good while it lasted, hope not to come accross this channel and its sketchy ways again. Not prepared to pay your excessive debts mate.

Unsubbed , good job disrupt , is this your exit scam??

I feel like I'm watching the slow downfall of a youtuber that I used to love watching. It's sad man.

Hey, man. We get it, you’re in debt. Just don’t be fcking shady.

this dude looks like he’d scam his fans out of 500k

Why would you do this your destroying your channel.

In the future just ask for a donation

Step 1: Steal Underwear. Step 2: ?. Step 3: Profit.

Even you release a Quality Content it is still make no sense that you are asking people for their money with a share in channel that will not be prompted as actual share as you are evaluating your-self proclaim virtual reality investment with no back up's and actual plan to point out your share! and using the money on debt really make no sense, you are good content creator and a quality creator but this, you are just want a quick way out to get out on being in debt and close to be bankruptcy, if people invest in this, well expect with no returns and your money will be lost forever.

I'm not a super experienced investor but I can help you invest into a better webcam

A 10 Million dollar evaluation? And it was only done by you?

It sounds like a terrible pitch thrown on a Shark Tank episode. I like your channel and your content but I don't see most channels making 10 Mil in 10 years. Most popular channels will go through their peak and then fall off eventually. You're viewability can change in a day if the algorithm deems it so.

Maybe the alternate reality is a really interesting idea but that's nothing tangible that people can say "that will return an investment". At least not yet.

I think if you just would have been up front and said that the channel needs help supporting itself and that you would like Patreon subscribers, it would have gotten more positive feedback. I'm down for helping but thinking this is worth 10 million dollars based on very lose and subjective data, many people aren't going to fall for it.

Good luck man. I know debt sucks.

Idk just be honest, in this video we find out its to pay someone out?

naw man this is a blatant grift

yea i think im just gonna unsub. Sad to see the channel go this route :/

You seem to be in quite a pickle, as you're unable to discuss on where the invested funds will be allocated (due to the SEC guidelines) and your viewers demand to know where those funds will be allocated. It seems to me that this path you took by using wefunder and having your viewers "invest" into your channel was a fairly strange idea, but I can understand the thought process behind thinking how big VR and the Metaverse will become, but people will only invest if they know VR and Metaverse will grow to be the size they project to be, which the vast majority of people do not seem to believe. I honestly think a better way of you getting the funding you need would be Patreon, and later on you can set your sights high and produce content via VR/Metaverse once that time comes.
For now, this is a pretty shady way of getting funding, and I recommend you try your best to switch to Patreon before it's too late.

I hope your doing well

Just go public with one of the million SPAC's searching for targets /s

Hot take:
Yes, the route he has taken is strange and "shady". However, I think that instead of looking at this as a cash grab, to me this seems like it is out of respect for the audience.

Disrupt is portrayed as a business model instead of a "fun project", because it's more than that. He believes in his company and sees a future. Capital is needed to recuperate losses and fund a future, and yes there are other ways to do this, but I respect this approach.

We are being talked to as valued people, who believe in Disrupt and could potentially benefit for essentially donating to something we believe in.

For the record, I feel that I've gotten well over $100 in content from Disrupt over the years.
(For Free)

is this actually some elaborate upcoming video idea where hes showing how scams and similar investment frauds work and saving the reactions to analyze later???

Lol everyone's a capitalist until their favorite channel needs capital support.

*edit*: lmao video comes out and they lose 10k subs instantly.

I haven't seen the video yet but I'm assuming he has ammend the video because coffeezilla calling him out in the comment section of his original video

The way you speak and your mannerisms are reflective of you knowing that this isn’t an honest pitch.

$171,039 successfully Scammed from viewers. congrats, bro, hope you are Proud

This channel died in the worst way. There is no recovery. Goodbye Disrupt, your fans are saddened by the loss, but we'll move on as you deprive further.

Do we get an NFT at least 🤔

I thought he would've tried to save face.

How to single-handedly destroying your credibility and channel, and then double down on that LMAO

Is this an ARG or actual ebegging I can't tell.

I think you opening a gofundme would have been better.

Please don’t kill what you have right now with this shady shit

Well best of luck to you, but I will not ba a part of the channel. At best this is a horrible mistake you are making. At worst a nefarious and illegal securities violation. Unsubscribed until you have a solution that makes the channel solvent and legal.

This guy is trying to scam you, please don’t ever donate to his cause.

OH BROTHER! Come on man?! You doubled down on this instead of saving face???? Horrible, horrible look. Love the channel, but the sketchy details being glossed over are sus. For a channel that creates so much amazing content on sketchy things going on in finance/tech, this is shocking to see.

hits 1mil subs - evaluates his channel at 10mil 😭

retitle : “i’m selling out”

Sources: Trust Me Bro

Love the channel. But what you are doing here is stealing peoples money as they will NEVER get a return on the so called "investment". And your valuation is downright ridiculous!

Sounds like pyramid shaped funding to me

I was about to buy subscription for disrupt+. But when i see this, i though.. “Ehh. Why not”.

I feel bad for Jak. Hopefully he gets the 500k and manages to make this channel flourish. I feel bad for reading the comments here aswell but what can you expect for YT comments.

You should do a video on yourself titled something like "The greed of men"

I bet if you had a patreon you would get 5k+ supporters

you should keep it for now

bruh who tf gave this man 180k lmaooo

“Youtube’s Deadliest Scam” when?

i feel like this is some sort of social experiment thing

😂 a scam to pay debt off… no sir…this channel is only worth 5k at best🤷🏻‍♂️🤷🏻‍♂️🤷🏻‍♂️

A 10m valuation I’ll n just pulled out of thin air lmao.

Definitely a scam

Just do patreon people would rather donate then get scammed.

I honestly am dumbfounded how you thought this was a good idea. did you even talk to anyone about this? Or are you surrounded by yes men.

I’m not saying that this tactic is the by any means logical to most viewers. But why does this seem to me to be a bit more of a social experiment rather than the original purpose. Just from the nature of this channel I feel like this social experiment may not be out of reach..

He’s trying to leave you holding the bag. Rug pull.

I’m newer to this page, but I’m also not coming back.

Man's got a 1 million sub channel and is just nuking it right now. What a mess.

I'm very skeptical of this ngl

why the fuck wouldnt you just make a Patreon

I am not going to disagree or agree with your evaluation.
What I disagree with is the way you justify it. No research data presented as if you just pulled it out of thin air.

honestly i only "invested" just to help you cuz ur a good guy

How did he get into a half a million dollars of debt?

ya know patreon exists

it's ironic that you say this investment is not for a quick buck when you are literally trying to make a quick buck to pay off debt 😂😂😂😂😂😂

This video barely explains anything, it seems so off coming from Disrupt...

you really, reall screwed up
after the weird scams and dodgy dealings you have covered here on the channel, id think you were more than aware that this looks terrible before you went ahead with it
you must think we are all crazy moronic

You're trying to make paying off your debt sound cool. We the viewer get to invest and own a portion of the channel isn't that so cool /s - But it's still paying off your debt. Get a Patreon or something people would be way more interested in subbing to a Patreon than this, nearly everyone hates this. Much of your channel is discussing tech scams, and you think your viewers won't be able to detect a tech scam when they see it.

Just checked SocialBlade. Lost over 10k subscribers, literally overnight.

Yeah this definitely does not set right with me. Disrupt, I'm sorry but this is insanely scammy. I don't trust this at all and neither should anyone else.
Edit: I'm unsubbing until this is cleared up. I don't want to subscribe to anyone who tries this kinda stuff.

valuate at 10m but half of the company is worth 500k lmaoaoaoa

Why not patreon?

A 3 minute Q&A session that answers nothing. Man, you really dropped the ball here. You sound like you're launching a pyramid scheme, and you're gonna take loyal viewers for a ride. You should be ashamed...

i dont like this at all.. unsubbed. why mislead people just say what is happening. more dishonest than the hackers u make videos on. if u r in debt open a patreon and i will gladly donate a small amount to support u. hes trying to pay of a 500000 debt that he has btw

Give you a lot of money and wont get money back for years... Who would do that? That's what rich people do. And decades... damn.

Modern days NFT scam but now on YouTube.

also guys, you'll be glad to know i have both copies of the fake-selling of channel, to mull over , incase he tries to delete and save face. Not on my watch, Bro.

god damn disrupt fell off

I can offer one dollar and a chewing gum

Il give ya 5 bucks and a half subway sandwich for the Chanelle

Such a short q&a for such a important subject is shady and should make cautious...

Ohh nooo. As they say don’t ever meet you’re video creator hero’s

Is it a scam

In 3 months (approximately)im getting 150k from selling a house i inherited so i will invest 30k to your project.I hope its not too late by then.

just set up a patreon…

I woukf have paid for a patron for this content move on from this shit and start again.

I don't understand people's concerns. This is an investment, it is not guaranteed, most of you will leave a comment here being dumb and then invest in some sht coin and get rug pulled. This man has a vision and will try to realize it, you don't have to invest if you think it will not make a return. Anyway I have no horse in this race and won't be investing but the comments just irk me.

Bro listen to my message you lost everything and everyone from doing this like you really about scam everyone come on man

yeah he definitely disrupted his subscribers

You're essentially just trying to scam your viewers. Unsubscribed.

Time for an unsub. People see a dollar sign and sell out. Cant blame him just wish he would answer certain concerns and stop acting like he cant see them

Love it dude! Keep doing your thing. Really enjoy the content !

Damn this channel fell off hard and fast...

This is all wrong. And everyone is saying that, so I suggest you to try to solve your financial problems in other ways.

This video has a 2:3 ratio of likes to dislikes, for anyone who can't see the dislike ratio. 1.9k Likes, 2.9k dislikes. You can view this with a plugin.

I don't understand why people are saying he isn't addressing people's concerns. From the comments on the previous video most people were talking about the 500k debt, and he both addressed and clarified that debt in this video.

this shouldnt have a positive like/dislike ratio

We’ve seen where this gone before, check what happened to Smosh after blending investors with content ;) I lost all respect, unsubbed bruh.

3:10 nobody cares about that. you KNOW their r much more important questions to answer on ur monitor but u just dont want to answer them cus u know it will put you into hot water

Yikes. Good luck being controlled.

A million sin channel isn’t worth nowhere near 10 mill. You’d be lucky if this channel makes a couple thousand a month. Your videos don’t even get ads

i used to love this channel =^(

Real valuation: 10k

dang, from 1.42M subs to 1.41M subs real quick

Aight imma head out ✌️

if u spend a 100$ u might get a couple cents if u are lucky. Sounds like a bad investment.

Arent some of you over reacting? Hes opening the public to an investment opportunity. Hes not saying they will stop making content or prevent you from watching content, unless you fork over an investment.

Why would you unsub from a channel you previously enjoyed because hes experimenting with public investing vs selling out?

Stay subbed, dont invest if you dont want to invest. I cant understand where all this negative feedback is coming from...

lets buy it lol but i cant buy it :(

GoFundMe would have been a better idea

This is your worst decision for your channel, hey man pay your debts in different ways then, Dont try to fool your own audience

Just make a patreon on something

Probably don't take this pitch to dragons den or shark tank or whatever.

You should delete this ASAP and just use Patreon. Don't do shady stuff

Clearly aren’t worth 10 mill. Not even worth a mill considering you can’t pay a 400k bill

You've spent too long in VR

Do you really think you will make 10m dollars on this channel

Scam alert just be honest and say help me i made bad financial decisions just be honest people like honest people

No thanks. This seems like a really bad way to go about it. Just start a patreon or something.

Bro show you care a little by at least managing the bot comments

Rip Disrupt

Big fan but this is wrong and beyond sketchy.

Please don’t have your head in the sand, please listen to your audience before you hurt the your channel.

As a fan this is just real disappointing.

unfortunately i am going to UN subscribe. what people don't realize is when it's your company, it's also your problem, no one is really interested in your company unless you are paying high 4 to 5 figures a month in wages, on a consistent basis. your company/channel will be buried in the history books "yeah nice company but they fell apart and that's not my problem nor do i care if it were my problem, there are other companies to replace them with"

One of the best channels :(

this is so silly

i thought your channel was cool but I didn’t subscribe so I could buy it

Honestly seems very sketchy

Aaaaand this is weird the rest of the comments seem to know what’s going on more than I do so imma just unsub lol

Shady SHADY "investment"

Men because you have 1 millon its not mean the value its 10x just because you do videos of VR and stuff men :s and you saying that who ever invest CANT expect money or profit for years to come :s WTF????? :S

With the amount of negative comments I hope it will make you think twice again. I personally think you should open a patreon

this isn’t investing. just ask for donations bruh

All I'm taking from this is unsubscribe from this channel

just say ur scamming ur viewers and move on

volume is very low on here

Investors mean tampered opinions. Time to unsub. See ya never.

I’d feel sympathy for this dude but it’s obvious he plagiarized so many of his videos by simply reading off articles of the subjects. Video editing skills are 1 thing but at least be creative of what you’re talking about.

Welp, guess this is the beginning of the end. This channels about to die off real fast

GG Disrupt.

This ain't it bud

I am still in Jack.

Disrupt is awesome :)

Edit: After seeing the fact that he's selling portions of his channel and evaluating it at $10.7 million, I must re-tract my statement

This is a scam

I looked up bruh moment and got this

Get your money player.

i know everyone talking about how this is mega shady but no one talking about this guys camera, looks worse than them leaked videos with the worst quality

too shady. i'm interested in the culmination of YOUR content
rather just be a 100% behind the scenes thing, this isn't content, it's confusing and kind of upsetting tbh
not interested anymore

that's upsetting

What is that debt I do not understand

not the best way to do it man

I hate to say it, but as someone that doesn't understand this shit, after reading the comments it seems like Disrupt royally fucked up.

Are you alright in the head?

Damn. I've lost respect.

This is a mistake. Walk it back, brother. You're going to alienate your fanbase and torpedo the channel. We love your channel, but no one wants to be marketed to this way.

i think u should just say sorry oomfie

I just invested $1000 and now everyone saying its a scam how can I get my money back??

So if I understand correctly what you said: If I put in $100, I will make back $10M as a return on investment. Count me in!

maybe just get a normal job like us normal people do

tbf he seems kinda smart but a lil sus

Scam! Reporting to YouTube!

Risky but with the idea of a decade long investment not too shady at all. Im still skeptical about the future projections but not so much that I would call this an outright scam. That being said I am not investing lol

I must be the only that isn't bothered by the circumstances around this investment opportunity. That's exactly what investments are, you give somebody your money and leave it completely up to them to make you a return. There is an element of unquestioning trust within that. You don't really ask what they're doing with "your" money. You either trust them or you don't. If you are not comfortable with losing your investment then leave the room. For me personally I know Jak does not want Disrupt to fail therefore it will not. I've pledged money toward it and I accept those risks. Now, I just wait and see. That is investing. Good luck.

I don’t even think your videos are that interesting tbh so I’ll pass. The whales, 58 days alone and lulzsec were good but not interested in the rest that much

For all the skeptics, just think of this like a $100 Patreon donation that might give you back some money later. Don’t buy the equity if you wouldn’t donate $100 to this channel.

No one is forcing you to give him money or invest on the channel. You all making it seem he scammed you somehow. You have a choice. Invest/donate or don't.

ok

Why do you use that garbage camera?

Don't trust this guy hes a liar

Love your channel, I will contribute

a lot of people are saying this is a scam - I disagree. While I believe the valuation is crazy, and the current financial state of Disrupt is also pretty bad, I don't think there's anything wrong with trying to "raise" money for the company.

Wtf

All these commonly grammatically incorrect commenters so stingy with a measly $100.
Y'all the type of people to stand in front of a homeless person begging for change tryn'a stop other people from donating because you think he'll probably spend it on drugs or something..
So what if you don't get anything in return, would it kill you to help a stranger out with 100$ once or twice in your lifetime?
At least this gentleman is upfront with what you're contributing to - and if you need to dig deeper because you can't understand the potential of what he's already explained then this isn't for you, move on.

He has literally laid everything out there (within legal reason) and continues to be transparent with videos like this. I understand wanting to ask questions and trying to figure out if you want to invest, but it’s probably better to stop attacking someone’s character because YOU don’t feel comfortable. Also maybe take a step back and ask the question, how many people making these negative comments have actually owned any type of business?

Islam is a religion that calls for the worship of God alone, who has no partner, and that Muhammad is the last of the messengers. The Qur’an is the last book of God. It is one copy that has not been distorted. Scientists prove scientifically things that were discovered only in recent years, such as the stages of the formation of the fetus and many other facts that God has mentioned in the Qur’an to prove the authenticity of the Qur’an. That is, from God, and to establish an argument against the people and upon those who heard of this, God is the one who created you and He is the one who will send you after the grave to the reckoning. Have you not wondered one day who holds the heavens and the earth to pass away, and who provides for you and who created you from dust, and where you are when you sleep and this is an example of the grave And sleeping after it is an example of the resurrection of the resurrection
