It's a solid argument that no one in here has logically argued against yet
Tariq gets "free money" with no obligations to any of the people who donated. He gets to make content without any pressure since donators aren't entitled to anything and he gets to keep all the profits. From his perspective it's STRAIGHT PROFIT whether a project flops or not since he never has to pay anyone back. People saying he invest some of his own money too but how can we quantify that? Sounds like an assumption more than anything
Sounds like jealousy more then anything.
You made a decision to donate aka give free money because you want a quality product whos content creator is not beholden to large investors because this person has your trust. The purpose of Hidden Colors is to get our stories out there without the meddling of big money outsiders. Also, it enables the creator to make more films instead of having to take out more time between projects to make and invest more money out of pocket.
Now yall want it to be about recouping some chump change or you not donating no mo.
Well why dont you write up a business proposal and tell him the money is a loan and not a donation. Trying to convince people that want to donate to his product that they shouldnt because they arent seeing some petty profit, is jealousy and ridiclous.
