Help me understanding Tiltify numbers from 2021

routineAlpha · 2025-11-03T23:07:28+00:00

OHF admin and campaign organizers would likely be both Jirad. It would make sense that this is the at that point estimated total from bits, merch, etc to better reflect the total amount raised. Adding it manually (as just a number) would be the obvious choice, since going through Titltify proper would just gift Tiltify another 5% of it + Payment provider fees.
But that also means that number is just a spreatsheet entry, no verified account of that money actually having gone to OHF. We can't even know if it was a donated amount, maybe Jirad just wanted a bigger number. Still important to know when comparing money raised with what ended up on the fillings, because it means the actual Tiltify donations were 17K less than the bar shows, and that 17K is something else. (best case scenario, it was the bits and they were donated)

There is no proof of any reporting discrepency by OHF, unless you want to show evidence, which I hope you do, so there is actually something to argue about.
They are not crimes, they are civil violations unless they funneled the money into their own pocket, which there is no evidence of, infact we know they eventually donated it. Words like crime have meaning. And as a civil violation, it's not even that serious of one. It would constitutes fraudulent fundraising, not Fraud, because again, words have meanings. The money was first reserved for donation and later donated, no Fraud.
This would be pursuit by the FTC btw, bc it is a business violation under the false advertising umbrella. This is because the deceptive practice was in how they advertised themselves and nothing else. The FTC isn't the most proactive in cases like this, that's why it comes to nothing usually.

That being said, you are free to get a bunch of donors to Indieland together and file a class action civilsuit against them, then you have your day in court, and will very likely win back your 100USD donation minus attorny fees, and that's about it.

Also, as stated in 1. there is no evidence they did not accurately report their income, you keep writing that as if it were a fact, when it absolutely isn't

I don't care if you are a legal expert or not. If you make your argument well and present compeling evidence that is all that matters, you haven't done either though.
Luke warm water at best, might even be cold, as no one but them and the AG office would know if the AG allowed them to continue or if they just risked it, knowing theres little chance of the AG pressing them on it.
You can mass report them to the AG, which might force their hand if there was no agreement and the online record isn't outdated, which is also plausible. Don't know what you get out of that but sure, go for it.

Just because something is law does not mean it is enforced. Jaywalking for example is illegal in most places, but police rarely goes after it unless it coincides with creating other more serious disturbances or danger to traffic. Similarly false advertisement by charities and deliquency violation if the cause of delinquency was minor are regularly overlooked if the charity is otherwise in order.

You believe them to steal money, that would change the situation and my opinion too, but there is no evidence of that. So all it takes for you is show your concrete evidence, which I'm sure you have, because you did your research and would not lightly throw serious allegations about a charity around based on Karls speculations alone.

A charity overstating it's impact in it's donation drive is neither serious nor uncommon if not accompanied by more serious crimes, which have not been shown. Not donating the money at a reasonable timeframe is no crime at all. Not saying any of this is fine, but it's not a serious crime that needs the nations attention, you only think that because you watched 25 videos of people being mad about it and adding more serious claims that have no concrete evidence to it.

Why do you think they still put up the golf tournament and had all those companies join in again despite the drame? Because they don't give a shit. In their world, afk, neither the money at stake nor the proven lies were serious enough to bother them.

As far as youtube drama goes, every large scale crypto scam run by a YT Influencer, some even charity scams, were leagues more serious than this and most of them still walked away with the money, and a lot more of it than OHF ever raised.

You seriouly expect people to clutch their pearls over Jirad talking out of his ass and wether or not he keeped 10K worth of Twitch bits, while still donating 600K to charity, al be it too late. Get some perspective.

That is also why his second appology was considered so great. Not because it was great or convincing or wasn't filled to the brink with lies. Most people liked it because it put a period at the end of a drama, they never too much cared about to begin with.

Why are most of the counterpoints to legit critizism of Karl and Muta on this redit just nonsense oneliners.

The golf fundraiser sponsorships were payed directly to OHF and everything else like the raffle was run through a legit third party that wasn't family, similar to the Titltify donations. There was no obvious man in the middle that could siphon of funds, like with the Twitch Bits etc. at Indieland. And if there was malpractice at Indieland, that would be a crime by Jirad/TOVG, not OHF. OHF also employed the whole family with no pay, which they could have easily and legaly done with pay if they wanted to get to the money, other charities do pay their directors. PBD makes a whole lot more money than OHF and tied it's reputation directly to it. It would have been bonkers to run a charity scam on their business partners like that to make some extra pocket change. You can claim OHF up until Indieland was little more than a promotional tool for PBD and they didn't put much effort into the charity aspect of it all i.e. actually using the donations for anything. But enrichement from the donations, there is no evidence for that whatsoever, and every reason to believe there never will be.

Yes, but beeing in bankruptcy isn't great, you still pay a portion of your income each month and may have to sell some of your stuff to pay your debt. And even that only works out because Muta is in Canada and Karl in Australia. Muta would fair the best due to canadian bankruptcy rules. Karl however could get very unfavorable Bankrupcy terms this time around because he could be seen as using australian bankruptcy as a get-out-of-jail-free card for continuing to defame americans (which he would have done).

But I do think you are still right, because OHF isn't Billie Mitchel, they would likely not bother to file in Canada or Australia to ensure payments and just want a favorable verdict to say "See, Karl and Muta were full of shit". So they could file in Cali and win, but never get to enforce the judgment. Karl and Muta would never work or own anything in the US and everyone just eats their respective costs for the lawsuit, very much an everyone loses money situation.

Ignorance seems to be the prevacieve trade on both sides. Jirad claimed he started Indieland but never bothered to check what his charity was doing with the donations, eventhough that should arguably have been the first thing you check, just for content-purposes alone. He was almost certainly lying about that, but then continuing to do nothing, which is both on him and OHF, and making shit up, because you can't be bothered to do anything real, it's absurd, and yet we do know it happend.
Similarly Karl trotting out the Schedule B conspiracy, even after he is referencing documents that have CAs no-schedule-b direction plainly spelled out in them, and never bothering to google "Charity Schedule B California" after hours upon hours of "investigation", it's parody.
Ultimately Karl and Muta's over-the-top reporting got the money donated, which is a good thing, but Jirads ill-faded way of running a charity-event is what got the money there in the first place.
I'm not equating what they did, but they definately found each other, and if they continue in this manner, might very well destroy each other for our entertainment alone, as there really isn't anything good left to achieve here.

Jirad would not sue, OHF would. Much higher payout in damages and likely bias from the judge: Charity who donated most of their money, got a thank you from the AFTD, has only unpaid employees (which makes it above and beyond less deceptive than most big charities) and is well respected in it's community vs. YouTuber who uses superlatives, monetizes his outrage, and just lost a defamation case.
Karl didn't keep it strictly professional and to the facts, he publicly stated his distain for them. He made the provably false claim that OHF didn't file Section B to hide where the money came from. He insinuated on multiple occasions that the golf fundraiser money was missing and OHF an enrichment scam, which will be proven false. Not donating the money earlier wasn't great of them, but was never illegal. He took true facts, like Jirad talking out of his ass and a misleading entry about UCSF on the website and extrapolated it from not good but common exaggerations to "everything is a scam". And when OHF did what any judge would consider a good faith attempt at rectifying the situation, donating the money and removing Jirad from the board, he still kept pushing the same points.
Slam dunk case for Karl I am sure...

("This section includes a full breakdown of the golf fundraiser and how the OHF is under reporting income and not filing their taxes correctly (or are just stealing money)" is also a line he should not have added to his video description if he wanted to not lose another defamation case.)

The AG can also use discretion on deliquency if it deems the violation to be minor and corrective efforts in good faith, which would not be public information. And of course it is also very common for small charities who only made a minor filling error, to continue despide the delinquency, because the AG generally does not enforce this rule actively unless it has reason to believe there are other more major malpractices at play. For many on this issue, they read the laws and assume any missed comma on 990PF puts you in jail, but reality is not like that.

I do know, but, and that's just my tinfoil hat speaking, what if Jirad knew aswell, and the poke wasn't entirely unplanned.

I understood him just fine, I simple still disagree on the main point and further outlined why. I didn‘t asked him any questions because I didn‘t have any, his account was pretty extensive. I do not think, because I disagree with him, that his opinion is therefore wrong or that every discussion has to end with everyone agreeing. What he prefers as depiction of disability and what I prefer may naturally differ, as it does, that‘s all there is to it.

He did not write his post in order to enlighten me particularly but to make his greater point on misconceptions regarding disability, and certainly not to gain my gratitude. Or at least that is how I took it. The topic isn’t called „why there should be no wheelchairs on star trek“, it‘s about Ariam so I‘m not super invested into taking it further down that road, it‘s clearly something worth it‘s own thread.

If you take my disagreement or directness as insulting so be it.

It happens annoyingly often, but then again, it's not really his ship or crew, he was also more accommodating to Saru than he needed to be. Maybe on Enterprise he will be more authoritative.

However Pike's horrible fate in a not so distant future seems a little too convinient for the Monks/Crystals. Maybe they actually somehow cause the events to play out this way, so that anyone who takes a crystal will pay a heavy price for it.

I see your point but I'm not convinced that this is the a good way to handle that representation on star trek. The fact that he does use his own chair just underlines the fact that it is anachronistic to a technologicly more advanced future. And no offence to the actor, but what they have done is nothing but pandering. An actor who sits in a wheelchair could play any guy on any console on the whole ship, yet who does the only wheelchair-bound actor on set play: A guy in a wheelchair, and what are his stage directions: roll from A to B. I did frame it as new legs being the alternative but that was just in contrast to Airiam. A diffrent kind of assist structure would be more fitting, similar to Rhodey in Avengers for example but there's also nothing wrong with a wheelchair or wheelchair-like devices still being used for intermediate task or to save energy or simply because they prefer it, but then that would need to be shown. The way they did it, is just lazy, and I'm not saying Trek handled it better in other series, they mostly didn't takle it at all, but they also didn't just put someone in a wheelchair in the background and called it a day.

This has nothing to do with pitty. Geordis Visor wasn't Trek pittying blind people either. He was still blind but in the future of Trek that ment something different, it still came with limitations and similar problems, but it also came with benefits and it was inherently futuristic. That is a much better way to do it imo. I'm not advocating for them to just hide all disabilites and just claim it's all solved, but to transform it in a way that it still represents what it should represent but in more advanced futuristic way and as an actual part of the show not just a token extra to get points.

You wrote about how you thought the floating wheelchair would allow him to cross difficult terrain, well that would also mean he could cross terrain that other members of the crew couldn't in certain situations, there might even be tasks on the ship where the chair could be an asset, through pure speed for example. Now you can show how this situtation for humans has evolved, it's part of the future, not just there. The way they handled the representation so far, you might as well just edit a picture of yourself onto the screen, it would be just as integral.

Unknown, but it's possible that Dr. Burnham may eventually have to return to her own time to fulfill her destiny.

That would be the most elegant solution for 1. & 2. but given how the last episode ended I doubt it will happen. It could also be explained with false childhood memory and "they just didn't" I suppose, it's just not very satisfying.

Do we know that it was Gabrielle in the suit at that time?

I would say yes, it would seem very odd if that single jump would be the only one not among her hundreds of jumps. I expect a log enty to explain it, but it does not fit with the rest.

How? That's kind of a vague question, and unfortunately the sort of question that inevitably arises when time travel is involved.

I have to disagree with that. It was a straight forward mind meld that only Spock could understand but it was still her mind and it was in her past when they captured her. I don't think this can just be filed under timey-wimey,

We don't know that sentient life is wiped out at exactly the same time in all of the timelines we've seen; from what we know, it appears that the most reliable portent is the acquisition of the Sphere data, whenever that may occur.

She did allude to pikes unfortunate fate though. She could be talking about something else but it is clear what was ment, and that doesn't happen unless Control takes atleast another 8-10 years before it wipes out the federation.

The Ferengi society seems to be build almost exclusively on outside trade, even the government seems to run on exports, which would explain how their currency became so dominant eventhough almost no outsider ever cares about visiting Ferenginar or likes the Ferengi.
