Millions of actors get by performing in local theaters but George Clooney probably wouldn't take that gig. Jon Stewart is not on the same level as YouTubers. I can't imagine he'd even make half of his contract on YouTube
I get what you mean here and agree with the sentiment. I just can't blame him for taking the significantly better deal
I am by no means hating on the man. I love his work and admire his courage to face assholes and call them out on their bullshit. Hence I want to be able to see his episodes on YouTube. And I do understand he needs to get paid. I'm just stating my point of view, no hate or judgement. Not everyone can afford subscription/wants a subscription through a huge corporation. Many, many people would be more than happy to pay the creators directly. I do. I don't want this to spiral into an argument.
Hey now we're not arguing here! I wholly agree with your reasoning, I was just explaining why he'd take a paywalled Apple deal over ads and patreon. I don't subscribe to any streaming services myself
Ok good then. I really hate arguing with strangers on the internet shake hands
