I have been commenting to my wife that some of the Youtube people are gonna be in real jeopardy. One in particular deals with automotive content. Until recently he has made some snide jokes about the current situation. This dude just bought a new Vette a latemodel Tesla and a new home. Today he is apologizing for his flip attitude. On his live stream some viewers were obviously criticizing him for being a traitor and being political. He had made the statement that you sometimes can't believe what your leaders tell you. He was dropping people from his channel right and left. One of his sources for three days of content had just said he can't be there for the foreseeable future. He actually opened his internals from Youtube to show he had gone from $33,000 a month to $18,000. A whole bunch of them are living a lavish lifestyle based on Youtube. Those that depend on being outdoors are in yuuuuge trouble.

(7,508 posts)I think he was being sincere in trying to educate. It was not well received. There are many more, Who are based on car collections and having unlimited money. I am a gear head since birth so I watch. However I know when things go to shit it was built on shifting sand.
