Do you fuck with Internet Comment Etiquette? Being a comedy channel he doesn't really have much stake politically but all his political takes he either keeps subliminal or uses to take jabs at whichever establishment currently holds cultural dominance.

I ask because when I consider somebody's the depth to which someone is compromising I'm trying to look at who benefits from buying good favor on a channel. And in a case like that where he's taking money from pretty much all the brands and industries you mention, he doesn't ever use that to speak well of any particular interest or positively boost anyone.

That and he also does intricate 2-5 minute ads that border on Dadaist art and purposefully push the content boundaries on youtube. So like there's clear money being there but it could serve to show that just because somebody is paid for doesn't mean they're not putting their art above the sponsor
