:flushed::point_right:t3::point_left:t3: a good amount i believe

LOL… This is Jake’s full time job unless something has changed recently, not a charity.

Not hating on Jake here, It’s one of my favorite things to see someone make a living doing what they love, and he loves yoyos. But to say that “most” or even worse “everything we sell” goes right back to the community is just pretty damn silly.

I mean… how does it go back into to the community anyway? I would honestly love to hear this.

I quoted a post from 9 years ago so profit margins may have very well changed, I would think that using your time to design more yo-yos, quality check, and deal with customers is still giving back, since time = money.

Those are just a few aspects of Jake’s job, and doing your job doesn’t help the community, it only helps your business.

edit - Not trying to pick an argument with you here or anything, I was legitimately curious how most of the funds they make could possibly go back to the community.

You make a very good point, I can only answer based on my assumptions/rationalizations.

Sorry Jake and Garrett, didn’t mean to spark anything, just wanted to stand up against an upset reply on the forums.

No problem.

We’re in a different spot now, than 9 years ago. First few years I didn’t make anything.

Within the last year I’m just trying this full time, to provide for the family. Through patreon it’s been great so far and I feel like I’ve got a
Chance to keep it going.

I’m part of the yo-yo community, so your statements were still true. :beers:

I don’t see how people throw shade for you posting on here. Thank god you do or I wouldn’t have found G2

Don’t worry about it, didn’t spark anything. :slightly_smiling_face: While I may have agreed somewhat with the points in the upset reply, it has since been deleted. Back to Jake’s videos.

Looks like customs are close to being back on the table. These were at the anodizers for 7ish months? Still waiting on 1 more set from this order. It should be coming in with the AL7 Life.
