The opening is the exact reason I love your streams and your content. As a newer dad, the talk about your kids having to do drills makes me so anxious for when my girls have to attend schools as well. Here's to another great year of snapping
although i agree with his politics already, he comes off as snarky and abrasive right off the bat with the opening line and I think he doesn't serve his own purpose trying to get those fence sitters
Trans person here: thank you for being you, Jeff. I cannot begin to tell you how terrified I am every single day. Open allyship helps immeasurably. Thank you so much.
Not sure if this exists somewhere, but I’d be interested in seeing a history of the dominant meta decks through Snaps 2 years, the rise and fall of archetypes, which Season passes led to powerful decks.
Jeff. As a trans woman i appreciate the opening so much. So many celebrities and public figures get lost in that Harris isn’t perfect, but she is so much better than the alternative that it is not even comparable, no matter how marginal the increase in life quality they can make it for us, it is so so so much than the alternative.
I couldn’t agree more, you beat me to it. I adore and appreciate how he refuses to just allow “politics talk” to be an excuse for not acknowledging the horrible consequences of ignoring how awful the Republican Party has been for the safety and progress for people like us and more. I even think it’s extra special to me for Jeff to bring this up, as Marvel Snap introduced me to my new favorite superhero, a trans woman, Sera.
As someone who has been hit with the unholy mixture of being disabled, neurodivergent, and non-cis, it's really appreciated that you're willing to talk about these issues. While I'm not American specifically, I still appreciate the importance of talking about these issues. Things like this are a relevant problem all over the world.
It’s the same video as this you made last year that made me a big fan of yours. Thanks for your transparency, I very much appreciate how authentic you are. Congrats on a great year 2.
Trans woman here, never let anyone tell you not to mix "politics" with your content, having ideals and a strong sense of morality is not something you should be ashamed of
Jeff, your authenticity is appreciated! This is your platform, and you get to broadcast the message that YOU want. I just quit my job to free up time in order to make Marvel SNAP videos, and while I don't expect or need UA-cam to be any kind of income source (I am in a deeper need of community and a creative outlet), it's actually really good to know that money do exist within the realm of UA-cam. And I love that an income can be earned while doing what you love. You're awesome dude, thank you for the inspiration and transparency!
I appreciated your transparency last year and appreciate it again this year! Your edited UA-cam videos are consistently good quality so thanks for keeping them going despite the decreased revenue!
Agreed with the modes part. Hopefully they add a tavern brawl style option with the modes that rotates weekly or something. Anything to improve card acquisition for those of us who arent spending more money than the season pass anymore in this game
Love the opening message. It's the #1 reason I'm subbed to you on twitch. Let everyone live their lives as long as they're not hurting anyone. I tell my kids everyday, just treat everyone the way you want to be treated and be nice.
I really respect how jeff breaks all the normal taboos as a content creator. Income transparency, willing to call out his peers when necessary, & talks about politics
Even though I may not always agree with you, I have always appreciated your candor and your honesty in all aspects of your online life. Thank you for always being true to yourself and thank you for doing all you can to spread positivity.
Back when I was a kid, a video like this would have been long and boring. Now as an adult, this kind of video is so incredible interesting. Thank you for the update, information and transparency. Love your content. Keep it all going!
Completely agree with what you said about Alliances and Leagues - it feels like they treat every new feature as an opportunity to add more chores and time-gated FOMO. It's the main reason I've taken long breaks a couple of times, it's hard to keep up with and it starts to feel like a job after a while.
You got my thumbs up for your opening! but also thumbs up on a good video. Thanks for using your voice in an effort to take care of people and help move out country forward!
Another solid video Jeff. I wish more content creators would take a page out of your book and be more transparent. Love the content and keep grinding bro. Now that you have all gold backs, we need now all gold cosmic borders lol.
Jeff single-handedly making people want to hop on Twitch and stream their ever growing pile of losses lol. Congrats on the success and thank you for the opening message!
I can't believe it's been (almost) a year since I found you because of your previous year in review video I came for the financial breakdown but I staid because of equal parts your deck brewing and your strong moral stances
I agree with all that you said in this video, especially that statement at the start. Thank you for giving a realistic statement of support! Also do you think Build-Around cards should be more accessible to new players? I think the cards that unlock entire archetypes should be more accessible than the "strictly better" upgrades. Off the top of my head would be Venom, Patriot, High Evolutionary, Dracula, maybe Mockingbird?
im not even from the us, im italian, but the opening speech makes you the goat. life is important and everyone deserve to live it to the fullest. Grats Jeff
Hit like a truck with the opening message. BIG reason i respect you and continue to watch. No BS. You know what you're about. Thank you for speaking out and using your platform
Thank you and bravo for taking a stand, so many people in you position refuse to have that courage. And it's not just the election stuff (I'm not an American so what do I care), I've seen and heard you consistently take action protect your community from hat speech. Keep up the good work !
I like to think of voting like washing my hands. Is it the only thing you can do to prevent infection? No, but it is a good first step. Don't let voting be the only thing you do to effect change and it'll make voting for candidates that leave a bad taste in your mouth but would be better to have in office than the other guys easier. Would you rather fight against the Democrats or the theocratic authoritarians and grifters to make things better?
Its kinda disgusting to me that someone marked the opening of this video as a sponsor on the sponsor skip extension. Obviously not paid.... Thanks for speaking up Jeff.
Jeff, one thing I am curious about that you’ve perhaps talked about on a stream but I’ve missed it: outside of your streaming time, what is your time commitment surrounding it? I.e. meeting with your editor, staying up to date on datamines/metagame shifts/media etc? Talking about money is really helpful and I’m so glad you do that, but I’m also explicitly curious about what kind of time commitment you have to earn at the level you describe. Thank you for all that you do ❤
I love you not just because of your great content but for your progressive values. I really appreciate the opening statement and for constantly standing up for what is right. Congratulations on another great year and 50k subs. Looking forward to year 3 and for the regular PPTCG content.
The change from 50 credits per day to 25*3 is probably what ended up having me drop off of Snap as a low playtime player. I would log in once a day to check the new variants in the shop and get my 50 credits, sometimes play enough to do the season pass missions if I liked the card, but when it changed to 25, doing that felt much worse.
I think the alliance system shouldn't force people to play the game a way they don't enjoy. They really need a better system, Alliances was a big miss for me.
@21:31, are year 1 and year 2 direct support values for cosmetics earning you any profit or are these just costs that nearly 100% is going straight to second dinner?
Nothing Wrong with bieng Political. I respect people who are open and honest with their beliefs and I appreciate you trying to use your influence to help people.
No one on this planet can afford to be indifferent to US politics. As someone frankly terrified of where climate denialism and fascist nationalism could take us, I deeply appreciate you speaking out on these issues. Also, hoping the new bounce card next week brings some fun back into your snapping!
Speak it and never stop speaking it. Love the content as always. Please keep on keeping on in the way that you have and the way that you do. Not enough people advocate for the changes the world really needs to see and have.
First. Thank you for your courage with the opening statement. Most would fear alienating their audience before being honest with them. I appreciate the sentiment. But a small gripe I’ve always had with Snap is not knowing what card Cable has taken from you. I play mobile and don’t have a deck tracker to know this. But to me it’s a very important thing to know especially for combo decks. Ideally putting in a deck tracker into the UI would be amazing. If they allow those add-on programs on PC I see no reason why they couldn’t make this a permanent feature.
Here for the opening rant. Tell em Jeff
couldn't slam the like button fast enough
@@zegna1318 same
Amen!
Fuck yea
Yep, that was great. Well said.
Pretty cool how transparent you are being with your spending, income etc. I feel like a stakeholder at an annual investors' event xD

I'm only 2min in and i don't care what else your video says - that opener was chef's kiss. please continue the good fight.
Not sure if this exists somewhere, but I’d be interested in seeing a history of the dominant meta decks through Snaps 2 years, the rise and fall of archetypes, which Season passes led to powerful decks.
Snap judgement made some similar videos

You're awesome dude, thank you for the inspiration and transparency!
I can't believe it's already been a year since the first anniversary video. Thanks for another year of excellent content, Jeff!
Registrering to vote is super weird to hear as a European.
Please remember to vote people!
That is because it is bad for Republicans when lots of people vote - so they make it difficult.
Putting the "politics" at the beginning of the video speaks volumes about the sincerity of the message!
Keep on fighting the good fight!
Appreciate you Jeff. Glad you're able to do what you enjoy and support your lovely family doing it. Props to editor as well. Cheers for a third year!
I appreciate the opening message a lot. Thanks Jeff!
Love that you chose to include the opening statement.
"Politics isn't just politics to a lot of people" is a powerful message and I wish more people shared it. Thanks Jeff
Also woo, numbers video!
i love how unique all of your videos are and how transparent you are please never change 🙏🏽
I appreciated your transparency last year and appreciate it again this year! Your edited UA-cam videos are consistently good quality so thanks for keeping them going despite the decreased revenue!
Came for the numbers, got a heartfelt speech, wonderful.
Agreed with the modes part. Hopefully they add a tavern brawl style option with the modes that rotates weekly or something. Anything to improve card acquisition for those of us who arent spending more money than the season pass anymore in this game
Thanks for such great content and always being so transparent! Through Marvel Snaps Highs and Lows you've always been a phenomenal content creator!
Amazing work as always. Love that you set such a high bar for not just snap, but all content in general!
Love the opening message. It's the #1 reason I'm subbed to you on twitch. Let everyone live their lives as long as they're not hurting anyone. I tell my kids everyday, just treat everyone the way you want to be treated and be nice.
I appreciate your honesty and transparency!
These videos are excellent, thanks for the transparency!
even as a non american resident I get goosebumps when I hear your resolve. All the best on the election!
Thanks for another year Jeff. Highlighting those issues is really important, not only in the US context
I really appreciate you for making a video like this, motivated me to get a content creator myself. And very important statement at the beginning!
seeing jeff success is amazing as someone who has watched you since my early 20s you have been a massive inspiration
Great video. Love the insight!
The opening was spot on!!! Thanks for your support, time,help.

Appreciate the message, Jeff. Congrats on making 50k subs!! Curious to see what SNAP offers us in the future.
I don’t comment often but just want to say thank you for that opening and including theses kind of talks in your highlight videos
Appreciate the call out to vote

You’re the best Jeff, excellent video with a truthful, powerful opening.
Great video! And great editing, our excellent editor friend!
Excellent opening message Jeff! This election will mark what kind of country our kids will grow up in. We all have to make sure we do our part.
Let's absolutely fucking go! Appreciate all that you do and what you stand for.
Great vid Jeff. Always appreciate you being very open and candid about what is otherwise a taboo topic.
huge respect man. keep it up. your content is amazing
your consistent commitment to stand up for what is right is what truly made me a fan of you jeff. keep up the fantastic work!
Love the messaging and transparency. Great job.
What a great video. Thanks for being outspoken and all of the great SNAP content!

Hail hooglandia!!!....love this game aswell as ur content..will support u for ur healthy contents and for better and neet community...❤❤👊👊👏

Jeff continues to be the single best content creator I have ever seen. Keep up the amazing stuff.
Biggest miss this year…my first playing Snap….Alliances and those quests within them.
5 Figures? Gee Willikers, who could have enabled that level of spending? Probably not someone with flowing red hair riding on a seahorse
Who would spend almost 4 figures on a SNAP account that isn't even theirs? Probably not this replier
We see you Duck & Cuukey.
Looking forward to what’s around the corner in year 3! Thanks for the transparency, the content, and the message as always.
Appreciate the opening. Let em know!

I'm typically live 30-50 hours a week and another 10-20 outside of that managing non live content and keeping up on things related to the job.
@@HooglandiaSnap Thank you Jeff, that context is helpful.
wait what were the 3 last games in the revenue chart? I don't know them other than the yugioh one
What an opening message! People should do this more often
PREACH JEFF!!! Please go vote for Kamala, friends!

Great opening very thoughtful
Great video and greater opening. This is why I keep watching your content even if Marvel Snap isn't for me.
Based opening. Thanks for your advocacy, Jeff
Best opening of any of your video's ever. Keep on being you.
Jeff here standing up for justice.
The opening statement is pure gold!
@21:31, are year 1 and year 2 direct support values for cosmetics earning you any profit or are these just costs that nearly 100% is going straight to second dinner?
I make a little off the top. I "charge" the price anchor rate for people to donate for splits and bundle deals make me some extra on that.
Tell'em like it is Jeff
Nothing Wrong with bieng Political. I respect people who are open and honest with their beliefs and I appreciate you trying to use your influence to help people.
Hey whos your editor? Id love to recommend him
Drop me an email or reach out on Twitter and I'd be happy to put you in contact.
LOVE the cold open. Keep being you and keep speaking truth

Appreciate the continued openness on the finances info you give each year Jeff
Oh, a game review 2 years in the making, this will be gooood 😂
Speak it and never stop speaking it. Love the content as always. Please keep on keeping on in the way that you have and the way that you do. Not enough people advocate for the changes the world really needs to see and have.
Opening rant is why I watch you and stay subscribed. Thanks, Jeff.
