The signing ups are skyrocketing and I may have found two culprits.

This all happened in the last 24h it seems and the SKG campaign has skyrocketed even more since then, check it out here:

Exciting to see the progress though I would have preferred to not have this "personality" be associated with the goal of the initiative...

I know Charlie isn't the most well-liked on here, but I enjoy most of his videos, and tbh his first video on the topic was the first I had ever really heard about this specific initiative. After watching it, I watched Ross's video and subsequently shared it with several of my friends. Also, you have to give Charlie some additional credit for how much attention he gave to the topic over recent weeks. I think he's put out 3 separate videos at this point and even reached out directly to PirateSoftware.

    I've not really seen anything abut Charlie that makes me dislike the guy.

    Obviously he's achieved great success, and is financially well off. From what I can tell, he tries to do some good from that position, if with a somewhat naïve approach.

    In what I've seen, he can be a little mean-spirited, but he does it with a jokey tone I forgive a lot more easily than the type of shit-talk you see from people like PirateSoftware.

    Thor gets really ugly with words when the describes what he thinks of SKG.
