Imagine raising a child, nurturing them and setting them up to have a good future only for them to go on to spend 50K of their own expendable income on Gmod.
i mean if they have 50k in expendable income good on them i guess? What would really be sad is if they took a loan out just to spend more money on Gmod.
My theory, based on the sheer grammatical error and childlike desire to be a “secret spy”, is that this is the kid of someone rich so just keeps setting his kid a few grand. At least that’s what I want to believe cus no way is this an adult, if it is I don’t know how they got all that money with the writing skills of a 9 year old
@@theboogerbomb I mean its their money but Christ-there's so many better things you can get with 50k. Pay mortgage, buy a car, donate to charity, hell upgrade your desktop. Pretty much anything else is better than wasting money on a g-mod server.
i refuse to believe that that amount spent was real though. the server owner probably donated the $46,000 as a tax writeoff or something weird like that
@@buphoon1452Nah, I used to play on that server and he genuinely spent that much money on that server. The entirety of the community slobber on his nuts because of the money he’s given them
The difference is that verbalimpdick is rich and isnt obese. and 50k was barely a dent in his worth, but we dont know moby'd financial situation, he could be a blue collar that spends all of his income on gmod, and is probably obese.
I think this is significantly worse tbh. The verbalase video at least got him some attention at MOST. This guy did this, and made this choice, in private, knowing full well tis something he wanted. No benefit other than THIS.
my heart sank when I found out bub did not buy one custom job, but TWO custom jobs just to double check if they mention inactivity. This is either dedication to the craft or insanity.
@@splashykoy11 i know a guy in his mid 20s, makes really good money. This past year alone he has spent 38 thousand dollars on legos. In total his lego collection in his basement costs more than his 400 thousand dollar house. When i asked him if he even plays with them he said no. Sometimes he pays someone else to build them so he can situate them in his little world down there. I asked what he plans on doing with the collection; he said at some point he's going to sell it to a collector. I tried to explain that HE would be 1 of the very few collectors with a collection this big in the world. He wasn't hearing it. He thinks it's going to be worth millions at some point. Telling him that they won't does nothing to change his spending habits. This guy is my brother. He's got the mentality of a hoarder and always has. He'll never sell his collection. He'll never play with his collection. He'll never have kids that will play with that collection and if he DID have kids? He'd never let them touch it. When people make enough money that they feel they're already saving a sizable amount of money each year; they tend to just waste the rest. He has no hobbies, He has no addictions, This is how he wastes his extra money.
What can you get with $50,000? -You could get an Associates Degree -You could rent an apartment for a couple years -You could buy a brand new car -You could buy several shitty, used cars -You could get years of therapy -You could get a gym membership, a real good personal trainer and get swol as fuck -You could buy a whole ass armory of weapons, ammo, and years of fun at the gun range -You could buy several rock bands worth of musical instruments and recording equipment and make whatever music you want -You could get a sexy gold digger girlfriend -You could buy LOTS of drugs and be the coolest guy at the club -You could invest in the stock market and possibly double your money -You could franchise with an existing company and set yourself up with a job running your own little shop -You could go on vacation and travel wherever you want for months and months -You could get fucked in the ass by a Gmod RP server In short, you could change your life Be smart with your money.
@@Bobo-ox7fj I agree but only to an extent. There’s plenty of people who RP in games just to troll and or have fun, it’s not like every person doing a good RP is miserable.
I legitimately feel bad for this guy. Not like everyone here being assholes to him because of how sad he is, but legitimately sad. Dude needs friends and some happy life experiences outside the game.
Another thing I still remember from one of Gaminglights server, the SCP server. There was a kid who admitted to another member that they got graped over a hockey table, the member recorded this admission and that kid got constantly harassed and made fun of by full-grown men. It was horrible, they made custom classes named "hockey table" and everything. Only recently was that CC taken down, not bc it was making fun of a minors SA experience, but because of inactivity.
Yea I agree with you its not even funny its legitimate mental illness. Its sick the admins just let him spend all of that money for their shitty gmod server.
@@joshdowden8085 Why does he need to show proof? It's not that hard to believe these servers make bank off of this. A community with a bunch of members can easily reach 100k in a few months or less
I like memes, but are we unironically moral grandstanding over gmod servers from a guy who goes around half ass trolling people's autismRP as a hobby? Bro who gives a shit lol, let the autists spend money how they want. Least it's not toy trains or a massive marble collection they could choke on. Also, did I just watch Bub pay $200 for custom jobs on some rp server that he's literally making fun of people for buying? Wtf am I seeing?
friend of mine ran a server called ice fuse with his buddy and all in it cost around 750-1k per month they were making around 10k per month in donations. My friend said at some point you have to realise there are people who are actively looking to waste their money. At first ppl were just giving them money for nothing just to support them, then they started offering small things and the donations exploded the more random things they added to buy the more people bought them. In reality this kind of salethrough is commonplace in the digital asset world. I do believe allowing for large value donations or purchases for a digital product is immoral, I don't think anyone should be spending that kind of money on a video game.
@@user-jk5bg6mh5q tell me you know nothing w/o telling me. I said all in cost, meaning the server hosting, paying staff and devs. They were updating the server with new stuff every month, had dedicated paid staff members and used an extremely reliable and hefty hosting service for a total of 6 servers. Ik I said he had a "server" I should have said server network because it spanned multiple games like gmod, minecraft, roblox and rust. They were making 10k a month easily, it was extremely profitable even with the model I initial described so idk how you could think they got scammed lol.
@@BubGames I agree with Tracer. You harmlessly troll in your videos, and at the same time educate with some of the other types of videos.. (Like the one where you bought some stuff from different servers and saw what you really got ((one of my personal favourites)) ) I would really love to see some more of these well-produced videos that makes sence, while getting a laugh
Shows although he's a troll, he has some level of care/respect for the shitty servers he's trolling. Seeing cunts get obviously scammed is hard to ignore.
Gaminglight is a Scam. I got banned PERMANENTLY, even after Purchasing Diamond on one of their Servers, for "Server Insults." What I put in chat, was how I feel like Gaminglight wasn't like it Used to Be. Banned, Permanently for this. They are Money Farming Scammers in my eyes. All of the Secret Bits like Custom Job removing is just scummy. The customers pay Hundreds of Dollars for this stuff, just to have it Taken Away, behind a $20 Fee. Awful. Copy pasting this everywhere for awareness, I completely agree with you. Very glad we have Bub here to warn people.
@@xXYannuschXx you can buy a fairly good apartment in greece or small house In a cheap island...then rent it To tourists or use it as your vacation home...hahah so much....I'm also crying tho because it's only been 1 year I quit weed...and I probably spent 50 k on it also in 6 years of use
@@ronmars901 In your legal business, offer virtual goods for sale and accept crypto. Take your dirty money, change it to crypto, buy your own virtual goods as a "customer". Now it's clean.
I can't tell what is scarier, that people are gouging people this much money for a custom job in an RP server or that someone has $50k of disposable income to spend on it
I like to imagine that some rich Russian oil tycoon is sitting in his penthouse and pretending to be a big boobed FBI lady to impress a bunch of 13 year olds.
Man, I knew RP servers were crazy but this really takes the cake. Very well made video and highly informative. Hopefully this will help folks learn a thing or two.
Crazy thing is, this isn't even that out of the ordinary for RP servers. My experience with them came from a brief foray into GTA RP, before I realized what a fuckin' racket that is (don't worry, I never spent any money).
@@thomaslake7978 Not gonna lie, I haven't seen a GTA RP server that does this something this absurd, they have expensive shit like 120 dollar or 240 shit but you won't have all your stuff taken away for no reason nor will it ever be given to anyone else
@@thomaslake7978 GTA V RP servers are a joke in my country. All of them are basically copy and paste. Everything is stolen. Servers will usually have the same UI's, jobs, etc. The only thing that usually changes are car models, branding and SOMETIMES additional jobs or variations of the same job. The "developers" of these servers are good at changing configurations. That's it. The only servers which I have seen to actually have effort are San Andreas ones
@@DaddyFrosty I bet you don't even grow your own food like a Neanderthal and don't have a personal mini-fusion reactor to power up your home, PFfffffttttttttt.
its definitely money laundering, not somebody paying actual money for gmod server roles. re-auction probably their way of just trying to disguise that they paid for the same thing twice
I mean there are people that have hundreds of hour on a single server so 10 dollars is still understandable especially since servers have to be paid, everything above is weird af.
@Littlefinger no its still insanity. It's a shitty junky early 2000s game. Any modern aaa game has more features and freedom then anything gmod could offer. The fact that these people are justifying dumping thousands of dollars into this is insanity. You have to be mentally disabled to argue this
Dude, you should do more investigative work like this. I was actually super interested to see how down bad these people are. Insane what people will spend of fuckin Gmod
These people are making you charge ludicrous prices for what you can get on the workshop for free, there is definitely some sort of issue with people who spend this much money on this kind of stuff.
Just in job packages, he spent 650 USD a month for 4 and a half years straight. The additional 10 grand (to be generous) comes out to about ~185/month totaling 835 every single month on gmod police rp. The man has a serious problem and I sorta feel for him. Sorta
Yeah seeing that job description kinda shows that there is something wrong with the person in the head - either too attached to fictional stuff in videogames to compensate for lack of emotional feedback from his family, friends etc. or some other issue he's trying to "solve" with insane amount of money.
@@VeryOrc they definitely have some sort of issues mentally whether mental illness or just plain stupidity. Something tells me it's got to be a disabled person with access to lots of cash or a child. Seems way too childish for most adults with that sort of disposable income
@@meyadin5844 Could be indeed. Perhaps the server owners are familiar with the person on Discord or on the forums and they are aware of his condition, milking the situation and misleading the guy.
I cant stop laughing with the clips of him trolling who ever those people are. My favs were the one where he is a cat and keeps closing the gate, and when he's blowing up peoples cars.
I remember when I was co-running a server in 2015 and you could get VIP by just buying a staff member a game. Not even like a $60 one, just like a good game.
This was such a cool video. I know that the trolling videos have been unenjoyable for you as of late, so if this type of more journalistic video was fun i’m completely on board with your channel going more in this direction!
Whether it's music journalism, world news journalism, or whatever, video game journalism is pretty cool. We need reports and light on gaming news. Good stuff video creator.
As someone who dabbled in Dark RP years ago when it was new, I think its hilarious after all these years and Gmod RP still has people running around with gravity guns and you still have to make believe its not there.
literally i remember playing in 2015 when i was a kid, servers were much better the admins actually did there jobs instead of banning you when you have more fun than them
I would be insanely surprised if TF2 Source 2 is going to be allowed when the game releases. Garry said "NO STOLEN ASSETS!" about the entire topic, that's why they use rust assets instead of half life alyx assets as placeholders for example. They are very grateful to Valve and don't want to infringe their copyright at all, and this goes for the community aswell afaik.@@TriflingToad

I was an early dev on the early gaming light rp servers with Zeeptin and Sonic and also administrate for it. Its wild how money hungry they were during even the beginnings. School-RP, Slave-RP, Walking-Dead-RP it didn't matter how many servers they had they would just keep pushing out crap to make money.
That much money. You can hire someone to make you a server so you can do whatever you want on it and then keep that guy hired to manage it to make sure it stays with you for the 4 years
In a similar vein I was feeling bad about spending about 10 bucks on an indie title I ended up not liking much last week, then seeing this clownshow makes me feel like I'm a financial genius.
@@Angel-yc1ix It's called Plan B: Terraform. It's similar to Factorio and tbh it shows a lot of promise, it's just rather barebones at the moment. In a year I think I'll give it another go and see how far along it has gotten.
This is a dark corner of the game industry I was not aware of previously. I truly can not imagine spending that kind of money on anything as intangible as this.
honestly yes, but why even spend money at all. Server owner is abusing mentally incompitent people like Moby. Imagine how much money is being spent on a shitty garrys mod server
@@playaddavy429 I really wouldn't assume anything about Moby and he's definitely not abused. He could be a very rich fella with a chronic spending addiction. It could also be the server's owners laundering money.
@@neighbor4772 yeah it’d be super easy. And I’d imagine 50k is pretty reasonable. I wonder if they’re a friend of the owner and if the transactions are real or not.
@@ZumbiCaolhoso essentially, recently a guy by the name of “verbalase” who makes cartoon beatbox animations on RU-vid (seems pretty innocent right?) yeah he paid a group of animators 50K dollars for an animation of him getting [REDACTED] by charlie from hazbin hotel for 3 minutes (you can fill in the lines on that) but what’s funny is he made a post saying that his videos were struggling on YT cause of the “algorithm” and ended up raising with donations a solid amount of money, not only that but he dug into his animators pay of money to pay these animators to make this, but the cherry on top, he’s 40 with a wife and kids (this is really f**ked up) if you want better info on this legit just look up “verbalace incident”
i wouldnt recomend that ever the actual store fromt companies that provide the store in game purchasing functionality have some seriously strict policys when it comes to charge backs and many will permernantly ban you from ever purchasing from any server on there network if you charge back them and i dont mean like the gaming communitys server i mean any server who uses the same store website system like tebbex
I've also played this server myself and put probably 400-500 hours into the server. What is really sad about this server is that most of it isn't even custom content, it's all content purchased off gmod store and just installed onto the server. Metaphorically it's the equivalent of a minecraft modpack
@@ZiddersRooFurry it's not a poorly ran server at all, its actually pretty fun. it's just not $50,000 type of fun 50k can make your own fully custom policerp server AND cover server costs for years. that question of yours should be directed at those who support ww2rp and unlisted slaverp servers, or better, the man that spent the 50k lol

With that money, he could've afford the R32 Skyline which was debuted in 1989. It was available as either a 2-door coupe or 4-door hardtop sedan, all other bodystyles were dropped. The R32 featured several versions of the RB-series straight-6 engines, which had improved heads (the twelve port inlet was gone) and used the ECCS (Electronically Concentrated Control System) injection system. Also available was an 1,800 cc 4-cylinder GXi model. Most models had HICAS four-wheel steering, with the rear wheels being hydraulically linked to the front steering. The 2.5-liter GTS-25 became one of the first Japanese production cars to feature a 5-speed automatic transmission. The GTS-t came in standard and Type M configurations, with the Type M having larger five-stud 16-inch wheels, four piston front calipers and twin piston rears plus other minor differences. ABS was optional (except for the GT-R and GTS-4), mechanical LSD was standard on the GT-R and viscous LSD was standard on all turbo models and optional on all but the GXi. Nissan also produced 100 Australian models of the R32. In addition, there was a 4WD version of the GTS-t Type M, called the GTS-4.
Honestly... the investigation is great, but it's probably not "him spending money on jobs" It's probably some Indian dude laundering money he stole from scams into a Gmod server with some deal with the owners. That's why these prices are insane for... literally not doing anything Because you don't NEED to HIRE ANYONE to do the job. You can do the job yourself on some accounts you make and "pretend" to pay yourself... This is actually one of the best money laundering schemes i've seen.
It’s definitely money laundering, scammers get these cards off the dark web, and then use them on a service that is extremely hard to track, and over time it can add up to a whole lot.
Been playing on this server for a minute. I find this hilarious. They removed most of the fine details like the amount people donate or the actual names or usernames they used on their donation site. Please do this more. You are amazing.
if you have a chance to shed light on more of the weird shit going on in these servers, that'd be super interesting. this was a really fascinating video
Imagine having a child and then he goes on to spend 50k in a game about living a virtual life instead of living his actual one. Terrifying concept Also that half assed word salad secret agent description that sounds like it was written by a middle schooler was hilarious
He's probably just mentally challenged and is spending his disability checks on it, so your comment can really apply to most parents of heavily autistic children
@@luvenstein1852 I'm willing to bet it's a middleaged man who is a little socially inept and mentally in a terrible state. For example, I used to be a furry artist, and I've seen people waste their entire paychecks and/or disability checks like this, on commissioning tonnes of models or art that's fetish related, and so on. All so they can live through this character. It's just.. sad. I felt so bad taking these peoples money when they're obviously mentally very unwell, that I quit making this sort of art even though it pays well. People kept telling me it's their money and they can spend it how they want, which is true, but it didn't sit right with me man
@@WildVee I genuinely feel like being a furry and OC fetish artist to people like that, probably comes with the same mental anguish in your regard as being a crack dealer. It's sad and I'm glad you stood up and walked away
This hurts my very soul man, freaking 50k down the drain just like that. That literally could've been years worth of food right there, even a car and more.
@@barbugia123 this isnt even an addiction, i genuinely think these people just have nothing happening in their lives socially or really in any capacity so they substitute on here. Crazy crazy shit
I can definitely see why they immediately warned the one guy for making a joke about "moby". Gotta keep your whales happy so you can gouge them for more money. He basically owns the server with the amount of money he's throwing away, probably has an invisible admin in noclip following him at all times.
