    How is Felix bougie? He makes like $75k/year in a partnership, not exactly a ton of money. My cousin is a linesman who makes quite a bit more, is he bad because he makes money?

    As far as his take goes, it’s astounding to me that anyone cares

        There’s 6 of them and they fund a lot of projects, so they all make about $75k/year. High-level financial breakdowns have been published in the past. They’re not just sitting at home jerking off all day, there are expenses to any business

          like what?

          because divided by the 6 of them, it works out to ~$326,700 each per year

          also that number is just their patreon money, not counting merchandise or anything else they have going on

            For their projects, you can look up the political projects they fund just as a start, it’s not insignificant. Social projects are harder to find, but again at least Felix or Chris is posting one about every month. They’ve got several media projects ongoing now, and all of their projects have costs.

            I’m not trawling through Twitter to find them, but Felix has posted and talked about their financial details. I’m choosing to believe them because they don’t have a good reason to lie and they’ve got plenty of reason to not lie, given that there’s still plenty of people raking them over the coals even with this stuff.

              so you can't point me to anything, expect me to take your word for it that they somehow drain the vast majority of their income into nebulous "projects", and that i should trust what they say about their finances when they aren't even working class

              yeah, i'm not going to trust the word of some rich dickheads tbh

        Thanks for stating the obvious. I know covid is bad, I’m saying I don’t know how anyone can care what some guy they’ve never met says about it when there are no good options anyway. There’s a lot of guys out there you can imagine when you’re mad at your phone, you’ll be busy.

        $75k a year is a fuckton of money lmao.

        In Brooklyn it’s enough to live mildly comfortably until you need a major car repair, or have a kid, or have a chronic illness. Is that what bougie means now?
