As a Russian who left Russia and has been outspoken about his dislike of the Putin regime, I am no stranger to getting accused of being a WESTERN SELLOUT paid by the West to SLANDER RUSSIA. Recently, with the news surrounding Trump ending USAID, I've been getting way more of these: every MAGA genius thinks that I am an anti-Russian shill who was getting paid by USAID for my content, and now apparently I will be left with no money since my curators stopped paying me. In a nutshell, most of these people are either
triggered by my viewpoints or can't believe that being a YouTuber is a sustainable way of providing for yourself. So, let's talk about how I make money on YouTube, why I stay independent and why people keep accusing me of being a Western propagandist. Smash like and sub for more thx xoxo
