(hate saying that he has clout, but 65million subs is a hell of a number)

Pewds isn't on their good side, YouTube just knows they can't piss him off so much he jumped to bitchute and helps make them popular

ya that is a good point

does he do live streams on youtube? im betting he is a twitch guy right? (i dont keep up with too many live streams)

You don't need his clout, just the money. So, take a few of these people floating around, like Sargon, Tim, dank, bearing, etc. And get all their supporters to donate to the cause.

I wonder if they could refund some of the money easily if the won. Like make the goal to get YouTube to change their practice, set a precedent, and cover the legal fees.

Imagine the standard that could set, sueing the large cooperations to change their practices and get you donation refunded out of the corporations pockets

We'd no longer need the government to police things like twitter

suing people doesnt really work like that

you dont sue someone then get to dictate things to them

you sue them get money and hope that changes them

but they dont have to change

and likely will just pay to have the thing go away

Depends on what the judge decides really

not in civil court

the judge can say stuff but there is not really any guarentee in civil court that anything will change legally speaking

True, there is not guarantee they will change, but why keep doing something people can successful keep sueing you for?

payout vs profit

Particularly something as simple to change as "just refund the money"

if the payout is lower than the profit

they will pay out till they are blue in the face

just look at the auto industry

they literally made that their jobs

lol

They are not profiting from this tho, according to the YouTube rep, YouTube donates all the money.

They don't keep their share then donate the creators

they will still make money off the stream

I mean, I guess they get tax right off.

they will just donate the donations

the advertisement money

will be kept

if that is higher than the payout

they wont budge

Yeah, but that's not what you are suing for, it's the superchats.

right but yahoo only looks at the profit they make in this case

they dont care about the 20 bucks from a superchat

you got to look at it from a corporate standpoint. if they take, say 200 bucks out of superchats

No, but a lawsuit that can keep happening costing them money over and over for a donated 20 bucks?

gets sued

and has to pay out 5k

just as an example
