The maker clarified the motivation behind the vending of the video. As per Crocker: 

 

“I felt like a lot of people might misinterpret why I required selling it. But the real motive is that I felt like I took a lot of hits – you know, accurate hits. I didn’t get anything from [the video] other than to be put in a box for the next 14 years.”
