Hair is the least of your problems.
You are absolutely, totally, 100% correct. Anybody who was already going to donate will not withhold their donation because they only show the info to people who contribute, but if the only way a person can examine the information would be to contribute then some, if not all, of the moochers would then contribute.

Did you donate? If you donated and you don't care if others don't donate then the moochers love you because you're the donator who pays the moocher's share without complaining about it. They're happy that you quietly pay their share. They're happy that you pay so they can see the HLC information for free, at your expense.

Yes, I'm undermining that idea because it's f*****g stupid.
You need to be realistic about what the odds actually are of Hellouser bringing back any ultra-secret, super important information that the researchers would not share with the general public. Correct me if I'm wrong, but does @hellouser actually have anything lined up with these people? If not, it's a very real, perhaps even likely, possibility that he will not be able to make contact with these folks and bring back nothing of value. If he does make contact, it's also a likely scenario he brings back nothing of earth-shattering value; then Nameless will cry he's suing.
Next, you really think that people who donated and get the info before everyone else will keep their mouth shut? Histogen sent some guy top secret investor info, told him not to share it, and he went and shared it anyway. So what then? Should BAN those people, but not the crazy guy who starts fights, tons of threads demanding a blackout for everyone who didn't donate?
Wanna know what the incentive to donate is in the first place? To send a person from this site there to get them on the ground and MAYBE grab some exclusive info. If people aren't donating, it's because they don't feel it's worth it.
I didn't want to admit this in this madman's thread, but f*** it, I'll give you the reason I'm not donating:
I contribute as it is. I've already got published articles on new hairloss research and tech, with lots more on the way and I will also pen an article covering every nitty-gritty detail I can dig up about what goes down at the conference as it happens; covering anything Hellouser can't or did not get and it will be here for you to read, free of charge unless someone higher up tells me otherwise. There's lots more info headed your way about stem cells, health factors that play into hairloss, new technologies and regenerative therapies and I'm also going to try setting up an interview or two, when Tsuji's trials begin, I'll be watching like a hawk and relaying every bit of info on the as soon as it happens. All of this info written in association with the best hairloss treasure hunters and scientifically literate members of the community.
I think what Hellouser is trying to do is great and with the best of intentions, I personally will not be donating, though I wish him the best of luck.
But I don't support punishing people from the forums for not donating, either. Ultimately, this should be Hellouser and HairLossTalk.com's call.
I can get behind the idea of providing incentives though. Perhaps it would be possible to set up a secret livestream or something for users who donated? The information still gets published on time when he gets back, but backers got a gopro-style look at what he's doing on the ground and no one else gets to see that?
Just throwin' ideas out.

Remind me if I ever go on a date with Nameless NOT to let him pay for dinner.

I'm sure he will make you pay your fair share including tip.
What kind of internet friends would we be if we let you go on a date with Nameless?

You should use the money for a family vacation for yourself. Just let Helouser BABYSIT YOUR KIDS! He would be a good baby sitter.
He can scare them into taking Finasteride, and give them a few pills (and advice maybe!). i totally look the other WAY on this one.

I was gonna give a few hundred but to be honest, I don't know what this all does for me, for you guys it gets updates quicker, but it hardly progresses anything directly, or does it?
I do not doubt hellouser is going there purely for news and I've vaguely browsed over his last trip's updates which seemed thoroughly done with the interviews and posts, but I didn't read much of it.
Am I a leech who will read it for free? No, but f*** it, I can if I want without a moral qualm.
If it slows down with a grand to go I might still throw it in, but for me personally I'm not at all informed on new research and I won't read a thing or listen to any videos.
Now, if he's a scientist who can discover something if we all donate money?
Take it, take my f*****g house, car, take it all and take it now.

What proof do you have of this?
I already posted other posters statements where they said that. I'm not saying I believe it but the point is that some people do believe it. As a matter of fact, I do not believe it.
But it doesn't matter anyway since the real point is that some posters won't contribute because they want the suckers (contributors) to make up the difference. They believe that suckers (contributors) will do all of the paying. If you contribute then you're one of those suckers. The mooches are trying to ride your back and if you donate you're basically letting them climb up onto your back so they can ride your back.

Just letting you know that your opinion isn't going to sway anyone either way.
That's fine with me. I just want the potential contributors to be fully informed. I think potential contributors have the right to be fully informed. If you want to let mooches ride your back that's your decision. I just want you to be fully informed.
The mooches who aren't contributing CAN afford to contribute but they don't want to because they want to get the information for free. They want other people to pay for them to get the information. They want to ride other people's backs. And since you want to let them ride your back you should stoop down to make it easier for them to climb on board your back. After all, you wouldn't want to make the moochers strain themselves when they climb up on top of your back so they can ride your back.

I'm not going to lie to you - If you donate at this point then you're a sucker. But it's your right to be a sucker if you want to be.
That aside, the smart play is to not donate. Since you've stated that you're willing to donate that means it's not your fault if you don't donate. If you don't donate it's just because you don't want to be a sucker. Anybody would understand that. I do not put you in the same category as I put the mooches because you're willing to donate.
Only a complete sucker would donate now that it's obvious that some people won't donate because they think they can get other people (suckers) to make up the difference. Posters like That_Guy, Thomps1523, notcoolanymore, and numerous other posters want to ride your back. And if you donate that means you're letting them ride your back. If you donate you're telling the mooches to climb up onto your back so they can ride your back.
Now that it's clear that some people are trying to ride the backs of contributors the people who donate from this point forward are the biggest suckers of them all because they've been informed that mooches are riding the backs of contributors but the contributors contribute anyway.

You should put a stepping stool next to yourself to make it easier for the mooches to climb up onto your back. After all, you want to let the mooches ride your back. Oh and you should pay for the stepping stool.

You're a mooch who will surely read the HLC information. You yourself even admit that it's possible. And your conclusions about my motivations have nothing to do with reality. I do not think I'm a big-shot at all. I'm just a moral man who wants to inform potential donors that mooches like you are trying to ride their backs.
