Why are we supposed to help some blogger get a new laptop?
Because he needs a 4k gaming laptop to blog?Malik's been blogging for Wings fans' for a long time.
Dude has hit a rough patch. Wouldn't be bad to help him out if you can.

Man, I've got a $1200 laptop and it;s shit for gaming.

A bazillion people are going through rough patches financially, why does a blogger for the Red Wings get a very non essential item donated to him, with so many struggling? Not meant to be rough to him, as rough patches suck, but are you donating to any of the hungry families out there where the mom or dad is working 2 and 3 jobs just to put food on the table and kids on the clothes?
Because he asked for help... Just like other struggling person can do. Doesn't mean anyone has to help him.
His post literally indicates he’s taking advantage of the situation and asking for something he doesn’t need but that he wants.Man, I've got a $1200 laptop and it;s shit for gaming.
I'd bet 90% of people on this board have read Malik's work for years and have never paid a dime for it.
The high horse attitude here is pathetic.
He's received 500 dollars so far (as of the last update I saw). He has enough to get a laptop that will serve him well for the next few years to write his blog. It wasn't until I saw him asking for a 4k gaming laptop that there was an issue.

Fair. I didn't realize he upped his ask to a $1,200 laptop but stand by my original post.I agree with this.
I also agree if the goal is simply to get back to blogging ASAP, he could grab this laptop (among others) at nearly 1/3 his asking cost and be rolling tonight like a champ.
But that's splitting hairs, I suppose. People can decide on their own how they want to spend their money.
I don't think it's unreasonable for him to ask for some help for a service many have linked here hundreds of times.

There is a lot I could say to this, but I will condense where I can. I think it is tacky for him to consistently ask for donations from his reader base to help him get out of every hole he falls into. If this was a one time thing, sure, I’d absolutely consider helping him. The problem is that this is a consistent thing. I totally understand that he has had a rough couple of years, but he has also never really done a whole lot to continue to build his brand and maybe earn more money from his blogging. He has a fan base, so why not offer patreon style subscription packages to get a little bit more income every month?I'd bet 90% of people on this board have read Malik's work for years and have never paid a dime for it.
