Dick seems to act like NewProject2 is deplatforming resistant, and apparently it's working for Jersh. His twitter account has a tiny following, and isn't even using his name (I assume he's ban evading), His YouTube account is also tiny, his public videos have pathetically low view-counts for how much money he brings in via Patreon. Don't you need to get the link off his Patreon? So users are already trained to get a link?
I don't understand why Dick needs YouTube at all. I guess it's because he doesn't want to spend any of the money self-hosting (or even just decentralizing) the videos his paypigs pay for.
