I’ve often wondered if the people constantly posting Q youtube links aren’t monetization agents... they haven’t gotten a single eyeball from me.
You know, the topic is something I hadn’t considered very deeply until seeing it today in this thread. But it seems clear now how the spirit of money can thwart the cause.
What I find very useful about some of the youtube reporters is I can listen to it while I’m doing other things. Some of them seem to take money, based on what they’ve said. Many of them have good insights and speak with real patriotism. But then there’s the money.
The heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately wicked: who can know it? Jeremiah 17:9
...Q youtube links ...

Most are too long and unlistenable. I also question thus: if YT leaves them up AND allows monetization, then they may be contaminated.
Many are simply me-toos or Macedonian content farmers. Robot voices are an instant turn-off. If you have a series of stills and printed frames containing the message, then why not just write a blog or do a podcast?
Don’t encourage them and maybe they’ll give up. The search for instant fame via social media (and YT IS social media)has resulted in too many vloggers with nothing new to say. Most seem to repost the original work of a very, very few.
I’m of mixed emotion on the monetization. I remember that Trump, himself, encouraged Diamond and Silk to monetize. I guess it’s a sliding scale.
On one end, there’s me. I’ve refused to monetize my work for the last 35 years, or to let anyone else profit from it. Any ads on my stuff are from the copyright holders, and THEY’RE the only one that I say, “Welcome to it.”
But I’m perfectly happy to visit people who DO choose to monetize, as long as they don’t rub my nose in it and I feel I’m getting fair value. But I’m most comfortable when the monetization is casual and not prime focus. Or when the value is extraordinary, like the research the Tree House does while asking for contributions.
I’m VERY uncomfortable when the focus becomes on something being sold. So I stopped watching Corsi when he was major about his book and minor about Q.
