--- "This thread is brought to you by the Ministry of Propaganda of Ukraine."

One observers that this thread promotes monetized, merchandised videos. In lieu of actual and easily available article which can be read. Among the articles available, but not cited on this thread:

"The Bank of Russia on Wednesday said it had revoked the banking licence of Qiwi Bank for engaging in what it described as high-risk operations, sending its Moscow-listed shares plummeting almost 50% to a record low.

The central bank, which has taken regulatory action against Qiwi five times in the last year, said Qiwi Bank had systematically violated requirements on anti-money laundering and terrorism financing legislation. "

In place of actual news, this thread promotes the same YouTube channels as if "news," while really monetized, content. Such as:
1) The Enforcer -- a YouTube channel uploaded in the United States, and selling through an Alabama registered set of sites. The video is almost 11 minutes long.

2) JoeBlogs -- a YouTube channel uploaded from Britain. The video is 21 minutes long.

3) A second post of The Enforcer -- this a 3 hour and 45 minute long live stream from Alabama. As the time stamp 2:25:48 he announced his new OFFICIAL ENFORCER MERCH STORE -- Launching Spring 2024.

4) Warthog Defense -- uploaded from the United States, a 9 minute long video.

5) Jake Broe -- uploaded from the United States, a 26 minute long video.

6) Graphics from Ukraine's Censor.net.

Given the aggregate of almost 5 hours of video from the United States and Britain promoted on this particular thread, it is VERY likely none of those "pro" this thread have listened to them all.

From the perspective of YouTube, one only need listen to the first 30 seconds to trigger AdSense advertising income to the content creators.

The actual news, as above with hotlinks, via easily read press as articles takes little time to read. Contrast with the monetized, fund raising YouTube videos promoted -- these today almost five hours of viewing, if actually viewed.

Money makes the cottage industry of content creation and content promotion go round.

This is about money, at its root.
