Weirdly that probably doesn't net him very much. Near as I can find out the current model is just straight watch time per session. One video every quarter (or less) even if it's hitting millions of views probably doesn't pay much compared to the big channels churning daily 10-15 minute videos that lead to binge watching.

From what I understand you make around 4,000 per million views.

Sponsorships change this of course and there are other ways to increase it but that’s basically it

The character creator in Mass Effect is utter trash and the default male Shepard is the only face that’s not beholden to it because it’s just the scanned head of male model Mark Vanderloo.

Default female face is perfectly fine. At least the one in 1 and 2, they decided to make it worse in 3 by focus testing, but you can just carry over the face from 2 and she'll look fine.

Neither snow nor rain nor heat nor gloom of night stays these couriers from the swift completion of their appointed shitposting.

The CIA directly funded the Mujahedeen (of which the Taliban was a splinter group) and used Osama Bin Laden as a gun runner to those groups while trying to get Russia to gently caress out of Afghanistan.

Israel and Saudi Arabia worked with us for it too. We aren't completely to blame.

There's plenty to criticize about Disney's politics, their execution of displaying them, and even whether they can be any kind of ally given they are, at their heart, a big evil corporation, but if you watched that spinoff and didn't get that "the Flag Smashers are right" was the whole point then you are just being deliberately obtuse so you can have more stuff to get indignant about.

Similarly lol if your takeaway from Black Panther was that it was pro CIA enforced status quo.

Eh, it was a pretty safe, American liberal version of "the refugees fighting for freedom are right, but they're just too violent about it. Wouldn't it be better if people protested for their rights without bothering the status quo?"

They're all like this. First you have the antagonists, who have a genuinely correct take on a real world problem. Then the antagonists suggest actually doing something instead of just vaguely hoping things will get better. Then the antagonists "attempt to do something" but in a way that is Undeniably Evil and also kill a bunch of innocent bystanders or side characters for no good reason just in case you weren't getting that these are the bad guys, actually. Then the good guys (or a redeemed villain just before they're killed by the main bad guy) talk into the camera about how slow, steady non-progress is the only acceptable way to change things and anything else is what Bad Guys do.

So remember kids, if you're worried about climate change the Good Guy way is to wait until you're 18 and then vote liberal (NOT SOCIALIST OR GREEN) and maybe hand out some flyers or something, because the alternative is wanting to shoot a kindly grandmother in the face for putting her groceries in the wrong kind of bag.

Probably trying to carve out his niche. I'd also assume he already made his money and/or has a real job if he's only making a single video for $4k a quarter.

He's mad that Gadsby called out that Netflix dingdong for using her name as evidence that Netflix is totally dedicated to diversity.

She's also funny and her specials had more heart and vulnerability in five minutes than this frumpy old douchebag has managed to accomplish in 30 fuckin years

People say bigger is better.

But for the first time in my life, I think I've gone too far.
Goddamn how are people still getting "must keep the status quo" and "the CIA are awesome and our friends" from Black Panther? T'challa (and most of Wakanda) AGREED with Killmonger that the world needed to change, he just didn't want the change to come in the form of bloody, Kill Whitey's Children imperialism. The CIA guy admitted that the CIA is extremely hosed up and that they trained Killmonger to be a bloodthirsty bastard.

There was an entire subplot about T'challa denouncing his ancestors for choosing to not do anything to help oppressed minorities with their super technology and near-infinite resources. The last scenes of the movie feature him personally visiting a new Wakanda-funded inner city school, and telling children that Wakanda's resources are their resources.

Like yea, they didn't wave a magic wand and instantly solve racism forever, but at no point in the story is the status quo presented as good, nor is the CIA presented as good guys (this single dude is, and only because he was willing to die to stop Killmonger's plan).

That is exactly what he's hoping for. He wants all of social media talking about him and people demanding he be "officially cancelled" or whatever, because he knows that's the only way to be relevant as a standup anymore. Aside from being funny, which is obviously too much effort for him.

Last year when public figures were expected to make statements about BLM his stance was "Wow, there sure are protests happening." He seems incapable of having thoughtful, empathetic opinions. So you wind up with either the cowardly, non-commital JonTron, or batshit, racist, paranoid JonTron. I guess that's why he can't seem to maintain long lasting friendships.

During the Game Grumps days they were constantly having to edit out(sometimes it was even left in!) when the N-word was said(though to be fair he wasn't always the one saying it) so I think it's always been the latter.

By going after Gadsby there Chapelle is practically admitting the cheap heat he's drawing with this 'canceled' and weak 'heh triggered?' poo poo is 100% identical to the applause chasing reactionary comedians whine about.

Cool Dave, I'll admit the buzz around Nanette was because Hannah wanted to talk about trauma and assault when she got the biggest platform of her career. Uh the important issue you wanted to make your special about is you really care about what's in people's pants.
She also never made any bones about "Actually the end of that special was peak comedy, if you don't laugh at it you don't get jokes."
So that still leaves her a better comedian than you.
