There’s also no proof that he’s lying, either. His entire schtick is to be the cool philanthropist and he has staked pretty much his entire reputation on this brand. He has no reason to lie and is in fact heavily incentivized to tell the truth to keep doing what he’s doing. There has not even been a sliver of an indication this is not the case. I get being pessimist, but this is ridiculous.
> The claim is also objectively disprovable since the man lives, has homes, etc. So he’s spending something on non-video things.
He’s not Mother Theresa and nobody claimed he was.
> And that’s ok. It’s just that “100% into future videos” is clearly not true. Maybe it’s 99.999%. Maybe it’s 0.001%.
This is pedantry at its finest. Everyone here is painting him as a selfish person only in it for the money and fame and this is what you have a problem with?
- TheLML 3y agoIn his most recent appearance on the Fragrance podcast he talked about no longer spending more than he has, as he's responsible for so many people's monthly paychecks. He has taken out loans in the past to cover that, apparently. Usually with upcoming deal brand payments as collateral (as those are sometimes paid up to 90 days after the deal)
