but it's much worse to loose your youtube. some people live off that

Sargon was one of their biggest earners, they must have lost a fair chunk of change just to virtue signal

lol rip

well sargon wasnt that big

aye, how long you think it'll take for youtube to go down the shitter

I was under the impression he was one of the biggest patreon earners?

they did lose 4 or 5 of their top 10 because of it though

Huh

he wasn't close to JBP

or harris

Because they left in protest, or because they kicked them?

@sheepzealand youtube won't go anywhere

harris self yeeted shortly after the sargon ban in protest

Unless someone makes a better video platform, it'll be around.

people have tried it isnt easy

youtube is a google cashcow, you're not gonna one up google

I see

ya know its good that this patreon thing happened cause now people gotta be carefull about who they lay in bed with

It's actually not

JBP and dave rubin a week or two ago in protest

They apparently barely make money on it

could always charge like 20%, then just let people stay up regardless

then some random engineering channel that was like 3rd highest also self yeeted in protest

It's part of why they've been so bizarre with ads etc

Huh, interesting

youtube has never turned a profit afaik

charge enough, and you can afford to ignore virtue signaling shit

@Tewdrig but if it keeps going like this, eventually all the actually good shit will be gone. so they'll still exist, but it'll be just lame normie shite

it either has a slight profit, or pays for itself

its not *as bad* as they let on

Yeon are you telling me you *don't* pay for youtube red and their *premium* youtube content

I wonder who the engineering guys were

plus they dont have to post income

its not public

Oh, it's definitely not that bad

they make enough to keep it around

But it's not like it's their biggest money spinner

otherwise theyd just yeet it

youtube died when they sold out to google

Even if it was a slight loss they'd keep it because it's a household name

youtube has actually contributed quite a lot to rapid data storage solutions
