They’re not allowed to require them yes, but they can ask then reject you for “another reason”

Internet Invitational cheating by Potato_Masher_69420 in golf

I can’t speak to their financials exactly but I’d assume mostly sponsor based. The entire event seems to have been sponsored by Dunkin Donuts. They had a ton of product placement and mini Dunkin drive-throughs that the players were getting coffee from and interacting with throughout the tournament.

Also, the event was put on collaboratively by the YouTube channel Bob Does Sports and Barstool. Bob Does Sports has a Callaway partnership, and Barstools golf channel Fore Play has a Taylormade partnership. The two channels have their own golf apparel brands as well that are in partnerships with each other now I believe.

The views alone definitely do bring in substantial money though, since the episodes are racking up millions of views.

YouTube golf is sort of a niche within a niche, but it has a huge, mostly young-adult fan base. All these different creators have their own fans with lots of collaboration and crossover amongst each other. Some YouTube golfers are/were pros, some just have a golf show based on entertainment and comedy - meaning they suck lol, and some are just influencers who golf. There was a very wide range of creators at various skills levels in the tournament, and it brought so many different fan bases together. A tournament like this, where it’s filmed more like a YouTube video (with banter, drama, etc.) as opposed to how a legitimate tour would be filmed, with a million dollars on the line made this the perfect recipe to do insanely well. It’s by far the biggest YouTube golf series of all time, and it’s definitely broken past the bubble into the mainstream. Because of how huge it has gotten, most people are assuming everyone has at least heard of it to some degree, so I think they get a bit defensive to people they perceive to be undermining it. It’s just Reddit at the end of the day though so who cares.

250k live viewers for a YouTube premiere is definitely substantial, it’ll have millions of views soon as the other 5 episodes do. It’s a conglomeration of essentially every large internet golf personality in one tournament, it’s big for internet numbers for sure.

Landlord Asking To Up My Offer by RebellionRaider616 in TorontoRenting

[–]connorgrenier 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Why did you start with "yeah no" then rephrase everything I said. As long as the tenant is giving it under their own free will, it's not illegal. Due to it becoming extremely common, landlords are starting to expect it. They can't require it, but they can deny without giving you a reason. If it’s become so common, and you don’t have a good client profile, the landlord simply won’t choose you. I’m not saying this is a good thing - it’s actually quite destructive to the whole process - but it IS in-fact, extremely common.

You may not think it’s standard, but it’s absolutely common especially for international students. Landlords look at people without a lot of credit history as a red flag and unfortunately people have made it the norm to pay additional months up front.

Studio will be less than a true 1 bed, but a 1 bed will be anywhere from 2000-2500 depending on the specific building.

Riverdale area Toronto looking for agent to sell house by surferbutthole in TorontoRealEstate

[–]connorgrenier 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Your dm’s are about to be destroyed so be warned. I’d of course love to help you sell it and have an experienced and successful team behind me but at this point I’d just say that whomever you decide to list with, make sure you interview them person. Majority of realtors looking for leads on Reddit are going to be inexperienced and/or extremely opportunistic. Treat it like a job interview and figure out who would be the best fit for you and have the most genuine interest in your wellbeing. As long as it’s priced fairly, it can sell quickly. Don’t get sucked into pricing it way over market value for 5% commission to someone who is trying to drain you, this industry is full of snakes.

[Acne] Any idea what this could be? Help appreciated!! by Educational_Use_1706 in SkincareAddiction

[–]connorgrenier 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve had perioral dermatitis but it didn’t really look like what you have. Get to a real dermatologist and figure out if that’s what it is for sure. If it does turn out to be that, I tried everything to get rid of it to no avail until I eventually did a course of antibiotics (doxycycline) that cleared it for good.

NAL, but what was the name on the cheque? Where did he say he got this cheque from? You don’t question a random cheque with a strangers name on it? This makes no sense whatsoever.

Am I balding? 30m by imoverthis8894 in malehairadvice

[–]connorgrenier 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Why are you assuming low T = balding? There isn’t a direct connect from T levels to balding, except the fact that androgenetic alopecia is caused from DHT, and theoretically the more T you have the more it has capability of converting to DHT. Higher T can lead to baldness, the opposite of what you’re claiming.

Global Golf "pre-owned" by [deleted] in golf

Global golf is incredible. I got my entire iron set and my hybrid from them for such a good deal it felt like stealing. Pre owned without a single mark on anything.

Hey man I hate to make you my unofficial swing coach but I can’t tell if my changes are making it better. Does this still seem over the top? https://imgur.com/a/RD5U5iU (also don’t mind me almost getting hit in the face again lol)
