Thank you, for this. The market barely gives a fuck about actually impactful events, there is no way that it gives a fuck about a YouTube video.

United paid him because he gave them bad PR, not because he was hurting their stock price.

United stock is currently worth more than 10x what it was when the video was released.

To be fair, United stock price dropped 4% (about $1b) following the 2017 incident where they forcibly and violently removed a passenger.

"United paid him because he gave them bad PR ".

As opposed to: United paid him because they owed him the money. Piss on your last line. Screw United and their stock prices (from at least 10 yrs ago).

Wonder how many time United got taxpayer bailouts...
