            So you engaged with the content, the ultimate reason why it was created in the first place. He’s not going to go through the trouble if it doesn’t make money. Might as well just scream into the void if nobody watches it.

              Exactly what influence do you think me watching it has on anything? You’re giving me far more power than I have.

Videos with people getting hit in the balls have exponentially more views. He went through the trouble of earning himself a buck fifty.
