Method

Chris Vaccarino founds Fanjoy in 2014 and it becomes the merch partner for Jake Paul, David Dobrik, Addison Rae and Colleen Ballinger, selling through its own site and retail partners such as Urban Outfitters. Fanjoy files for Chapter 11 in the Northern District of Georgia in August 2023 listing 100 to 199 creditors, owing more than 1 million dollars to suppliers and screen printers and reported sums to creators including 86,000 dollars to Elyse Myers and 94,500 dollars to GeorgeNotFound. The rung that breaks is the creator payment rung, as creators move to their own Shopify stores after the pandemic. Its original Los Angeles base and later status are not confirmed in a retrieved source.
