This isn't an "Irish privacy group", this is one doofus with a Twitter account, a podcast, and a deluded sense of his importance. Ignore and move on.

- aurareturn 3y agoHe says "ads are cancer to society" but he has an ad-supported Twitter account, Twitch account, and Youtube channel. He asks his followers to donate crypto and calls himself an "expensive consultant for hire". He says Youtube not being able to "come up with a lawful business model is not my (or anyone elses) concern". I guess his idea of a lawful business model is to solicit crypto donations. Yikes.
- Moldoteck 3y agoI agree that this sounds sketchy, but crypto donations per se are not unlawful - you pay directly the creator and avoid paying fees like in yt. Question is does he pay taxes for them, but this applies for any income, not just crypto
- aurareturn 3y agoThe point is that the author positions himself as a person with high morals but he solicits donations from shady/grey area crypto projects.
- arbol 3y agoAccepting crypto donations does not imply that the donations are shady. It may be cost effective as donations can easily be sent cross border for lower fees than Paypal or whatever.
- aurareturn 3y agoI never implied that the donations are shady. I implied that the projects themselves are shady and using them makes me question the author's morals - given that he champions himself as someone who is morally above ad-driven businesses.
- Moldoteck 3y agohe solicits donations from shady/grey area crypto projects. - does he ask to invest in those or what? Bc just asking for donations in crypto is not bad, you just put money in metamask/anyother account, exchange for coin &immediately transfer
- yjftsjthsd-h 3y ago> He says "ads are cancer to society" but he has an ad-supported Twitter account, Twitch account, and Youtube channel. Do any of those services let you opt out of ads for your followers? Or put differently, in what sense is he ad-supported?
- aurareturn 3y agoDoes it matter? He’s not paying for the services. The services put ads around his content even if he doesn’t enable ads himself on his content.
