I think youtube had a hey day where it was a legit job, same as working a tv show in the old style media really, putting on a show, getting paid for it. Adpocalypse seems to have slowed that down, most youtubers ask for other donations now. I guess it's a legit job but I don't get how they make money, who actually gives patreon money, seems odd, I never did nor met anyone that did. I like a few youtubers tha ttalk about history and science and I doubt they get much money from it, just do it for love of it. One guy that does music gear reviews, he says he makes no money off of youtube and has another job.

I think it is ok to call it piracy, now what was piracy really back in the old 1700 days, I think it got hit with a lot of propaganda and there were evil ones but mostly it was guys trying to do their own ting and avoid taxes on the seas. England, dutch company etc had controlled the water and they would make men pay taxes to just transport things around on a boat, stealing aka they were the real "pirates". So who owns the internet, like who owns the ocean? Who gets to control it? It is kind of similar.

I don't understand the financing of it at all. I hate dealing with money, but if I intend to be a successful content creator, and I do, then I'll have to learn it too.

Nonetheless, people seem to be doing it and doing it better than ever before - by themselves - free of the corporatocracy. Weather full time or part time or on the side - we are doing it. That's why "they" and (((they))) must shut it down.

Actually, a lot of the pirates, buccaneers, and privateers were working for their home countries and crowns - but because they were not "official" mercenaries the crown could cut them lose with plausible deniability - much like how the CIA operates ISIS now.

If you read Douglas Valentine's "CIA as Organized Crime" you'll see that everything the CIA does is ALWAYS to 1) gain power/money for the CIA and 2) have plausible deniability.

good point yeah I have seen it mention that the skull and bones club, which started CIA, named themselves tha because they are pirates, controlling the world first thru oceans but nowadays also from the air.

A lot of the old pirates were unemployed ex-Templars, another kind of plundering posse, also aligned with the Freemasons, etc. All connected in secrecy and occultism through the ages.
