The crowdsourcing market seemed healthy for a second straight month as we take a look at the mid-month take that has been dominated by newcomer Clash with Bao’s stunning performance to fund the YouTuber’s legal defense fund.
YouTuber Bao was arrested in the exclusion zone surrounding the courthouse where the Karen Read trial was being held in Massachusetts last month. While the area is designed to eliminate protests, Bao’s refusal to follow police instructions saw him arrested and held for a mental competency evaluation.
Since then Bao’s campaign for his legal defense fund has dominated the crowd-sourcing market, destroying all that have come before it with a take not seen in recent years since Jose “Chille” DeCastro dominated the market in early 2024.
Bao’s Help Bao Secure Legal Representation took first place for the month with a $5,771.00 towards its goal of $6,500.00. No one has come close to Bao’s overall take over the past few weeks, with contenders only recently edging out Bao to take the daily fundraising title.
Our own On-Going Expenses fund is in second place for the mid-month with a $1,480.00 take out of a $20,000.00 goal in the first two weeks of the month.
Another newcomer has placed third for the month, with Shizz’s Help Shannon Mary Attend Kiser’s Sentencing fund taking in $350.00 out of a $1,000.00 goal.
Fourth place and falling fast comes Lane Myers’ GiveSendGo account, which has taken in $72.00 towards a $30,000.00 goal.
Finally, Craig Hendry’s To Support Craig’s Work fund has taken in $20.00 out of a $4,000.00 goal to round out the campaigns that have taken in donations at the midmonth.
In overall take for the year, Bao again dominates. His campaign has taken a staggering $6,386.00 in the last month to earn first place for the year.
Our own Ongoing Expenses campaign placed second, taking in $4,095.00 for the year and $10,240.00 in overall funding.
