Let's say you have a new, small, actual truth-seeking channel that is struggling to get going on the Innertubes. How much do you need to parrot exactly what you are told to say by some group? They will even write your script. How about $30k for the first year? All right then, $50K. If you play along there will be more down the line. What are you gonna do?

I'd just give up and live with my moral choice of not playing the game. I'd even give them a major F' you meme which I don't even like memes!

Good. I think a lot of money is changing hands across the Internet and am glad to hear you will have no part of it. You might like my previous post today at: https://www.winterwatch.net/2022/01/formation-of-the-reuters-havas-wolff-news-cartel-and-monopoly/

The EASIEST choice would probably be to play along but you might as well cut your own hand off as your feeding the bad people.

I ain't feeding bad people nor good people.

We all do honey. Weather we know it or not we are choosing to feed people and in term they knowingly or not knowingly feed us. It's actually more complex then that but that's the 'dumb' version of it.
