It is international PR for the Ukrainian cause. That is very valuable to Ukraine. And it does have an effect on the war.
Davydov and his counterparts are doing good work.
“Davydov and his counterparts are doing good work.”
Not only providing news source, but I understand some direct financially to Ukraine.
And as you earlier wrote, "Davydov makes money because people like him and give him money. He's a good talker. I was not, very. I made my career in other ways. More work and worry and way more cortisol, in a line of work that required perfection in every change. I too would have liked HIS gig. But I did what I could with my talents and he with his."
Davydov has been operating his YouTube channel since Apr 20, 2014, as documented, and has since long before the war now amassed a million bucks USD.
That you are a fan of "a good talker" and "his gig" is obvious.
