Why/how does JonTron have a huge budget and a team of writers / production engineers / marketing team? Who is bankrolling it and why? He puts out like 1 video a month and they don't really get enough views to warrant any of that.

I like his content in general (though I just unsubscribed) I've just never understood the economy of the situation.

He has a pretty large subscriber count (for now) and he's connected to Maker Studios. They probably bankroll a lot of it.

Forgive me if I don't understand the ins and outs of videogame youtubes, but why couldn't they just tell him to shut the hell up during recording instead of recording a bunch of it and then having to drop it before releasing? Like that clip earlier where he just shouts the n-word over and over, why didn't his co-host just tell him "what the gently caress" and do the segment over again? Preferably also telling him to never do that again?

I think the commentary is recorded live instead of post, so they'd also need to replay that segment of the game and lose any good content they had recorded.

The actual solution ended up being not having JonTron in their videos.

I wonder if any of this will lead to Maker dropping him, like they dropped pewdiepie after his racist nonsense.

Well now the people that would do the for certain real "it's just a prank!" videos that weren't possibly staged took the idea of those ad-scamming "kids" videos of Spider-man and Elsa doing weird stuff and turned them into live action click-baiting videos and are making mad cash over them.

There was. Also this hypothetical old person might have ridden street cars at one point in her life, but after the war the entire streetcar system was in serious disrepair and instead of rebuilding it they tore them down because everyone had/wanted cars instead. They built the outer suburbs around the car and then all moved out there to raise their kids.

This, also. It's best to prey on sick or weak members of the flock. Also, eat the stomach sometimes, because carnivores need more roughage than you'd think. I learned that from lions! Spread it to all your girlfriends.

The most annoying thing about the redpill and anti-feminist crew is that they will fall the most obvious fake poo poo ever and use it as proof of this nightmare SJW agenda.

You could mock up an MSPaint fake newspaper article about a woman demanding that all men have their cocks chopped off and they'd screech and try and make it national news.

"Streetcar suburbs" were a thing in the US from the 1880s until the 1930s. Then everyone wanted a car. My grandmother and great aunt rode the streetcars into Boston for work every day in the nineteen-teens and early twenties.

So all of those people are dead now, is what I'm saying.

Streetcars didn't start getting decommissioned en mass until the 50's so it's possible for someone who rode them as a child to still be alive and heckling cashiers. Unlikely and grossly hypocritical considering what brought and end to that kind of transport, but possible.

The whole Cloverleaf plot in Who Framed Roger Rabbit? was based on General Motor's National City Lines company gained control and oversaw the dismantling of the streetcar system in various cities across the United States, including Yellow Car in Los Angeles. They replaced the streetcars with buses and wanted to build a freeway / highway infrastructures.
