First off you are not unbiased and once again show your love of false information.

You will delete this but here goes.

1) there are full page interstitial ads they are called every five pages, but you would know that if you read enough pages. It took me reading one or two comics before they showed up and I believe it is their way of not chasing people away too early with a bunch of ads. That's how it was with spotify and Pandora which is really really smart on their part. But again you are ignorant of this and thus this defeats everything else you said about powfolio.

2) it did not cost 90k for one comic it cost that much for a whole ton of comics that they have in the hopper. Comics cost at most $100-$1000 per page. The high is the marvel rate. So a full 20-22 page comic is $2k-$22k. Most likely closer to $10k as I doubt they are paying full marvel/DC rates and it seems from what I can discern from reporting they are roughly $500 range and not low budget like Dynamite or Boom.

noe, how much money can comics make. Let's say they sell a modest 10k issues through diamond. Cover price is $3.99. REDG gets 40% of cove from their distributor. So that's $15,960. Shipping is a wash as they get a shipping credit as well. Printing (will discuss below) likely costs $.25 a copy so $2500 (probably high). This leaves at this small run still a profit of $3,460 net to be divided by REDG and Markiplier. So even without zwagbox this is not a loss. That's simple, informed and realistic math. Anything over this is gravy.

Now add zwagbox in. The way subscription boxes work, they usually have a margin between $6-10. Now let's say we go by just the number of low end likes per post they make and not go crazy. 2500 subscribers by July would mean $15,000 - $25,000 profit. This, on top of the diamond money because it was already paid for.

Now the thing about subscription boxes us they grow and don't shrink. Lootcrate started with only a couple hundred subscribers and now has over a million just a few years later. Zwag has easily passed this. I wouldn't say a million yet. My guess is low thousands. But at this rate I believe they can hit million marks in a year to two.

3) your active media dig is stupid as it is false no matter how many times you claim it. Early on they stated they would charge no more than 2% if memory serves for administration on any printing. They have this in contract and are audited. Regardless of where money goes it has to have a trail. We know it gets printed cuz we can actually order and receive copies to read.

Every one of your misinformation has been defeated. So just stop.
