It’s time for some game theory … but it’s gonna cost you ten bucks a month, suckas:
If you're looking for in-depth conversations and no trolls, I'm starting a private channel on Twitter. Here's why. https://t.co/jO6Pi21TRA

TL;DR – It's clear that after a year of connection with fantastic patriots around the globe, but also endless smear jobs, I need a buffer to keep the spies and media operatives at bay.

If you're interested in deeper analysis, more rants, more humor (without worrying about, say, the Gorilla Channel) – check it out. https://t.co/1PBTlGmpRH

At $10 a month, that’s a steal!
No, it’s literally a steal. Garland is stealing from you.
Haahhahahaahhahahhahahahahahahahha this is the stupidest thing I’ve ever seen in my life. Motherfucker is charging $10 a month for…retweets plus comments that add no value https://t.co/xDfIAZxdvN pic.twitter.com/EImyAzkNMY

Of course, if you’re willing to give Eric Garland money for special access to his hot takes, you kinda deserve to get robbed.
But from the looks of things, Garland shouldn’t go out and buy that yacht just yet:
@Recursion_Agent lol $10 a month to follow Eric Garland’s private account
— Chilly Willy (@Willy_Chilly_) February 6, 2018
I wish I could, but I already subscribed to @thespybrief and can't afford more than one of these. I see why you're doing this, but the trend is not sustainable.

I'll chip in $10 for start-up money. But $10 per month per commenter is steep.
— Anne Dicker (@MtAiryGrl) February 6, 2018
are you crazy? why would anyone pay $10 a month just for you? That's the price of regular newspapers. I'd pay maybe a $1 a month though. Maybe $2. pic.twitter.com/m0aiHKolrz

I'm all for a free market. I wish you luck with it. I understand your rationale. But how does shutting out people w/o the money to afford to subscribe to single accounts help anyone's cause? It can become the same echo chamber that you warn against and leaves too many uninformed.

damn! I'd love to join, but can't afford it ?
— Pam E Jean (@thekazs) February 6, 2018
I cannot afford $10 per separate channel. This is not a workable model for most people.
— Terry Wood (@fredojack17) February 6, 2018
D'oh – $10? I guess I'm resigned to the 'have nots'
— Sam Eagle, Stable Genius (@kfree59) February 6, 2018
While i have recently become a fan of yours…10 bucks a month? Come on.
— Sweet Herald (@sweetherald) February 6, 2018
Do you guys really think it’s reasonable to pay $10 a month for each commentator individually? That model is not sustainable or reasonable. Not a good look.
— Shane Dwyer (@THEBOSTONVERSE) February 6, 2018
No thanks.
— Randy Scousegit (@panelfmedia) February 6, 2018
Looks like Christmas came early this year.
lmao
— harold budd smoker (@eventcloak) February 6, 2018
Lol.. you can't be serious.
— ShawdowBanned (@woke_lore) February 6, 2018
Oh, he be serious. Which is what makes this so great.
Creating a private channel so no one can make fun of him when he has a meltdown is peak Eric Garland tbh
— Brooke Rogers ? (@bkerogers) February 6, 2018
I lied. Eric Garland getting roasted online for creating a private channel so no one could roast him online is actually peak Eric Garland. https://t.co/kJLDiCiW5k
— Brooke Rogers ? (@bkerogers) February 6, 2018
Just sit back and enjoy the show.
I will pay $20 if I can troll him. https://t.co/V6CA9XdOGz
— Michael ? (@torriangray) February 6, 2018
We’d chip in for that!
