    He has 30 people on staff? Why? I could do his show, and do it better, with a fifth as many people.

    The problem is that the only people willing to work for obvious grifters are other grifters.

      With these grifters it’s probably a problem of the ones who are true believers are too stupid to be competent and the ones who are competent know it’s all for the money and will negotiate accordingly and are only in it for the cash grab.

      Who knows what mix Pool had working for him

      Probably script writers, people to keep up with the latest narrative (I refuse to call them researchers), some people to handle the business side to get in money, some people to handle pr and comments and lastly some people to handle the publishing side like takedown requests etc etc.

        As someone who has looked at Tim Pool’s “show”…

        He doesn’t have writers. His show is just him looking at headlines and “reacting” live.

        Half the time the bullshit he peddles is debunked by the article itself, as he reads it.

        He never acknowledges this. It’s just a stream of consciousness mixed with right-wing brain rot in real time.

        Half of that sounds like the job of a single PR person. And the rest sounds like 1 or 2 people can write and research.

        This of course begs the question of what exactly Tim does on his own fucking podcast. If he’s not writing, researching, securing business deals, or doing anything but reading a script, is it really his show?

          I have no idea what something like his show takes to run, but if it doesn’t require 30 people and really does only require even say 10-15 people, he’s doing the exact same thing that people like him and Elon do - “I could do it better and with fewer people on the payroll! What a waste!”

          So part of me hopes he really is just getting ripped off.

            If Simon Whistler can host a thousand youtube channels and a new podcast every day of the week with just a handful of staff, freelance writers, and a couple of editors…

              That guy is insane. I like his content, but dude needs to sleep at least a couple hours a month.

      Are you implying Tim Pool the creative mind behind Timcast and the band, Timcast, both of which are controlled by his holding company Timcast media group. Is some kind of idiotic fraud with no talent?

        In response, I’d just like to say, “Timcast”
