More watch time/interaction = more algorithm training and ad exposure. I would imagine the profits will outweigh the expenses, especially if the pay is $1 for every 50 watched videos or something.
Hello, Unfortunately I am not able to take care of Yiffit as it deserves.

This is actually most likely the case. His fanbase typically does not have the highest cunning when it comes to commiting crimes. That, coupled with the Republicans planning hate crimes and the such, probably encourages requiring agencys get warrants before accessing the metric shit ton of data that brokers sell.

The US govt needs to get its shit together and deal with these major quality of life issues. The longer there is no response to massive protests the bigger, and likely, more violent these demonstrations will get. Who this violence will be caused by remains to be seen, but the larger the group of people gets, the easier it is to manipulate with panic/chaos.
“I was then presented evidence on why late stage Capitalism was directly contributing to the ongoing mental health crisis. Sadly, my hand slipped and pulled the pin on the flash grenade I just pulled out of my bag. Needless to say, the reasoning is still unclear as to why this crisis is occurring.”
