    Yeah, I wonder what will happen if it doesn’t get better. JT has pretty low employment opportunities because of his wide political speech, so even if he goes freelance on editing and photography it may still be not enough

      It’s a tough position to be in because YouTube doesn’t last forever, everyone has their 15 minutes and they’ll be done eventually. I’m sure he can still survive and if he’s smart he’ll have put some of the revenue from the most successful months of the channel into something that could supplement his finances for life, but he does have a family. Idk, feels weird to speculate about a random internet guy’s finances so I’ll cut it there. If you’re already chipping in an amount you feel comfortable with for people in the direst need of mutual aid, and have some more to give, maybe it’s worth thinking about this great channel.
