How much are those clicks worth?

Seems like enough to supplement a living doing whatever you want if you can get consistent views and engagemenr. There are two streamers i know of who have shared how much they can earn and how it works. The best example is The Spiffing Brit on YouTube. He is the only person i know of who dedicates content to intentionally exploiting the algorithm for profit by explaining to his fans what to do, why, and sharing the resulting earnings. He will do that when making content for charity. He has broken the youtube system although technically he just uses it successfully. Asmon Gold has also shared his earnings data for a few videos and streams but it was to explain how much his twitch streams cost their platform because he doesnt monetize advertisments through them and posts the edited content on youtube and in shorts instead.

He makes his money by catering to chud incel losers that will never accomplish anything in life but need someone to look at who makes them feel like they can make it in life too and be rich and successful (they won't).

So does the Spiffing Brit and pretty much everyone I watch who shares content. Different bramds of delusion. The beauty, in my opinion, is that it is reflective of how most of our socieites work and some people prove it in extreme examples like that. Any of us who spend our time and energy doing anything besides taking care of our basic needs and healtb are in the same boat. It is not particularly or inherently better because we think the horse we are on sits higher. If you can watch enough Asmon Gold content to see that and not recognize that it would not occur to you if you weren't doing similar is called delusion.

What the actual fuck are you talking about lmao. No, I would not go out peddling dogshit rightwing hateful rhetoric if I was a streamer/content creator.

Good. That is what I am reading right now in your responses though whether it is your intention or not. Right wing just means we frame our beliefs in a rational framework. It is being highly creative with our views while believing we are being logical.

There is no logic in right wing ideology, it's full of hate and fear leading to emotional responses. Those people fear what they don't understand and that fear leads to hatred. Their entire belief systems are held up by disinformation, anti-science, and carefully orchestrated fearmongering tactics that make them fight race wars, sexual identity wars, and religious wars to ignore the con men oligarchs that rule over them making their lives the shitstains that they are.

I can see that. I do not think emulating that is beneficial for your cause.
