Good new thread started on TPV subforum:
https://www.davidicke.com/forum/showthread.php?t=271112
I particularly like what truthisbetter has to say on 2nd post in thread:
https://www.davidicke.com/forum/showpost.php?p=1062044354&postcount=2Well sadly they blew half a million quid and almost all the publics (mostly David Icke fans/acolytes like me) goodwill in 4 or 5 months.
They then decided to 'take it to another level' and abandon the original plan.....
Nobody knows whats going on, just Chinese whispers abound, oh and lots of high minded talk of global reach and revolution....David is withdrawing further away from the affair, and with him will go those that followed him here.....
The running of the station was almost totally opaque, despite further high minded promises of total transparency...this didnt happen at all did it? That could have been their strongest weapon, but they chose to make the whole operation, arguably, more opaque than the BBC or Sky.
The fact that most of the content was either old fashioned or downright rubbish didnt help either.
I like the donations model...it truly worked well the first time didnt it? Its just that the public arent actually as stupid as a lot of people here think they are ('Sheeple' not being aware enough' is usually to blame by the forumites here...not the people running TPV). The public at large can just sense that all is not quite right..not that it is a scam...but that its simply not well thought out...the strategy is completely lacking in any up to date media savvy.
It seems to be run on strategies that would have worked brilliantly 30 years ago..
Why would anyone keep donating if the original version failed, but we never hear about WHAT actually happened, or exactly what they plan to do next.
Just look at 'The Peoples Voice' forum here...I slide by from time to time, only to see the exact same posts every day, that have been here for months..occasionaly having a comment added by the same few people....
Just what, beyond one of their 'perks' would encourage anyone to give any more money to this scheme, on the strength of past performance?
Im not saying TPV is a lost cause, but they certainly blew a lot of their most passionate support, along with that half million plus quid.
Including me by the way..I was EXCITED when this started out...now months down the line I can tell you exactly the only shows I thought worth it...Windows, o Keefe, anything with David and I liked the Banned...I didnt mind Richie either...All shows that actually confronted REAL issues and current affairs...Im sure most people will even agree with me that those were the best shows by a huge margin (maybe not on the Banned, but Im a big music fan and I think Gareth was a great presenter)
Everything else was either very niche for people that believe all the New Age stuff, or just totally boring and bordering unwatchable...ALL of which (good and bad) could have been made with virtually zero budget, as many many people do on Youtube...
Its sad, but the poor support for the latest indigogo campaign is just very telling..not because all the sheeple are too blind to see a good thing...but because all the people simply dont think its worth flogging a tired and old horse, and sending good money after bad.
Perhaps even more telling is David 'operating from the Isle of Wight from now on'....taking care of his own, far more successful business..
A good thing too, because the disapointment of TPV up to this point, was starting to effect my opinion of David Icke in general, a man I have been following, buying his books and going to his shows for some 15 years now....
I am certainly not alone in these thoughts...not that you would know from the forum here, because bleak posts like this tend to get deleted quite quickly.
