Let's all become political influencers and make $$$$

Between AIPAC, "Chorus Creator Incubator Program", and other 501(c)(4) political advocacy groups, I've learned that you can make a ton of money by creating propaganda for a political party.

Looking around youtube, it's kind of easy to see who's receiving a check for posting this trash (Adam Mockler, Decoy Voice, etc)

Instead of creating a bunch of free and very useless political threads on OT, what if we all made our own channels and pushed their crappy agenda against each other for a bunch of "Dark Money" instead (estimated to be as high at 8K/Month)?

Think about it

First of all if someone disagrees with you on the internet you'll get cancelled. You'll get no money.
Second its just a paid echo chamber and you'll not get anyone to switch as they're busy watching the 'other' echo chamber.
Third, as you want to make profit for this expect to get taxed 'your fair share', just because.

If you already have a stable source of funding then I distrust you as an influencer.

Trust isn't the objective: All you have to do is repeat the message until it becomes a factoid

Or push a message before an election (or similar) so there's no time for the opps to respond/people have no choice but to take your word for it

It's easily the most spineless occupation on the internet, and it's lucrative!

Im not interested in becoming a influencer and i liked it more when Politcs were not a big Topic like today

Some of you already do it, why not take the extra step?
Maybe some of you are already on payroll?

"Citizens United" is another big one:

You already talk plenty of politics, why not make $$$$ along the way? :D

The irony of ordering gamers to take the extra step...

The reality is everyone gets their information from somewhere,
and there's a common chance that that person is getting a paycheck from someone to say it.

Why not let it be you

Just make video's from your room, never do crossovers, and comment on a co-workers video from time-to-time to show engagement.

How you approach it is completely up to you

One thing is being a parrot (only spam what others told you to say), another different can of worms is creating, promoting, being involved in parasocial relantionships (this is way beyond foolish, and ends badly for everyone involved due it being very unhealthy). The former has less risk than the latter, but the latter has technically more potential for cash, due the exploitation of mentally unwell people like a casino does profit from them, tobacco companies do the same, etc.

funny the OP tries to claim people such as "decoy voice" as being a paid political propagandist.

not to mention, simply "hearsay" with no links to prove their claims.

I dont think this is directed at me but I watch decoy voice occasionally (nyot super obssesed with political topics cuz they are depressing) I just don't wanna be an influencer because I feel like it makes certain people (mainly leftists) go insane and stalk and threaten right wing people

This is what an average post looks like, only video format (advertisements, reaction videos, etc.) pay worthwhile money.

Regular posting can be mostly botted and isn't too lucrative, but it's still an option.
