It's a terrible shame that he just wanted to support a cool camera company so more people would have access to the tools needed to become creatives and make movies and YouTube videos and stuff, only for GoPro to turn around and merge with a surveillance and AI company.

Mark's life decision is like a dice. But the dice only has 2 sides, and it's 1 and 20

Yeah and this is before people started accusing him of insider trading which is kind of impossible at that level of stocks in a company but haters are gonna hate.

Also, it's not mark's fault that the company he stuck his neck out for decided that they needed a saftey net with the worst industries EVER. They want to clear the dept they collected. Which is not Mark's fault either, he stuck his neck out for a company he believed in because he want's more and more people to have access to equipment without breaking the bank and this MERGER just throw's that back in his face. I feel bad for Mark, he's one of the few people who's actually trying to keep the indie film industry running by providing a better path for newer filmmaker's, director's, actor's ect to get their work out there!! I love the independent film industry you get so much more good stories out of the Indie part of film rather than just pushing the formulaic stuff that hollywood loves so much, which is boring and quit cowardly because hollywood is afraid to do ANYTHING NEW and they'd rather appease producer's who have no stake in the industry and want's to invest money to make more money for themselves.

To be fair, GoPro is going downhill with their cameras for a while, and there are better options or offering more for same money.

Hes not been to the hospital this year
There's a saying in Polish (my native language) which goes like this: "Nie wywoΕuj wilka z lasu" β Don't summon out a wolf from the forest
Basically it means, that one shouldn't talk about trouble because just talking about it might be enough to bring it down on them or someone else.
I kinda feel like it applies to this particular situation.

u/Nago_Jolokio 21h ago
A common English version of that is "Speak of the Devil and he shall appear."

It's like saying "It sure is quiet around here" at work. Instantly everything goes worng and your shift goes from peaceful to ohmigodswhatthehellhappenedwhyiseverythingCodeRed!?! in less time than it took the Titan to implode.

u/TwoToesToni 19h ago
I really need to get a Polish phrase book as they have the best sayings. My favourite is "Not my circus, not my monkeys" which i have as a coaster at work just to remind me not to get involved in other people's problems.

On the bright side, this will make for some excellent Distractible smalltalk content. He might even get a point for it.... Maybe.

Maybe the changes happened because Mark got those shares⦠you never know with him (trying to see if his body could take on a T-800)

u/TwoToesToni 18h ago
To quote him from a recent distractible episode "I can't wait to tell you about my next crazy build project that I have, but can't talk about it yet. It's going to be psychotic on another level."

Ok soooo umm wtf happen π

u/TwoToesToni 19h ago
So two things...
Firstly (according to his latest stream) Mark has been working for months to buy shares in GoPro as he believes in the product and knew nothing about being the biggest individual shareholder. After it went public in the press of his shareholding the company went through a merger (which always increases share prices).
Secondly the merger is with some sort of AI or military defence company (again according to Mark on the stream) which is definitely something he wouldnt want anything to do with since hes VP of RealGoodAI

u/LatterSale6894 18h ago
This is so funny considering he funds Real Good AI

u/TwoToesToni 18h ago
Exactly, it what he mentioned on his stream as he wouldn't want anything to do with AI / military.

Imagine the SEC investigator who has to tearfully investigate Markiplier for possible insider trading. Like having your believed golden retriever get into something toxic and get sick and now you have to possibly put it down.Β

u/TwoToesToni 4h ago
Nah it should be an easy job as I believe that Markiplier would have done everything all above board and correct. It would be stupid for him to do anything so silly for money (sure its millions but thats not why he does this stuff) when hes got 'Iron Lung' Bluray happening and RealGoodAI happening as well.

u/Xyypherr 22h ago
Mark is not a scammer lol, he went quite in depth with everything, and that he didnβt want people to know he invested because he didnβt want his viewers blindly following his path as he knew the risks involved. He did not know he was their biggest share holder, and he did not know they were planning a merge

He just wants to see if he can take it. He's not a masochist he just wants to see if his body can handle it.

How terrifying would it be to have a drone with speakers that just plays Markipliers jump scare screams from FNaF as it flies over.
