[Fourth-Wall Break] I want to sit down with you all and seriously address something that happened today: I posted a piece of sponsored content and the backlash was overwhelmingly severe and extreme. I lost hundreds of followers and my replies and DMs were filled with accusations of being a “sellout,” a “grifter,” a “scammer,” and a “Jew.” I want to introduce myself and my case a little bit. I have worked on this project for several years, and each and every week I put 20-30 hours of work into this project. I make almost nothing - from X revenue sharing, I can usually expect less than $100/month, and from Patreon, another $75. I’m really passionate about this project and I want to continue it as a hobby while balancing my real job and my real life, but that’s difficult when I’m bringing in almost nothing from it, so that’s why I decided to run ads. Many creators on YouTube thank their sponsors. They spend many minutes of video time doing so. Many Instagram posts are devoted wholly to sponsored content. But when a post of mine on X featured sponsored content, many of you felt that was intolerable and lashed out in extreme ways. A concern some of you expressed in DMs was that posting sponsored content is a “slippery slope” that inevitably leads to “selling the account” or “making every post sponsored.” I want to reassure you all that this account is my life’s passion and I will continue doing it until the day I die. But I have to make a living as well. I have run sponsored content in the past; I am running sponsored content in the present. I am not sure why that act merits anger, if it’s only one post a day and it’s one reply that you can disregard easily. I make sure that the companies with whom I partner are ethical, and are doing it for the right reasons. I will never ever push a scam, crypto product, or meme coin on you. And today’s sponsor was none of those things, as much as many of you aggressively claimed that it was. Anyway, I welcome your feedback.

Let me explain what just happened 👇 5 minutes before the President announced a halt to attacks on Iran… someone placed a $1.5 BILLION bet on stocks going up and dumped $192 million in oil. 5 minutes… These trades were 4 to 6 times larger than anything else in the entire market. Whoever did this wasn’t guessing. You don’t risk $1.5 billion on a hunch. There was zero public indication this announcement was coming. No leaks. No press. Nothing. The only people who knew were in the room when the decision was made. Someone in that room picked up a phone. And within minutes they made more money than most Americans will earn in a thousand lifetimes. In a single trade. On a war that cost you $4+ a gallon gas and $16 billion in tax dollars. American citizens funded this war. Politicians are profiting from it. This is not the first time. Every major announcement from this administration has had massive suspicious trades right before it dropped. Tariff reversals. Policy shifts. War decisions. This is the most blatant insider trading operation in the history of American politics. It’s not even close. And it’s happening over and over in broad daylight. You would go to federal prison for trading on a tip from your cousin. These people are front running war decisions with billion dollar bets and nobody will ever ask a single question. Nobody will be investigated. Nobody will be charged. By tomorrow this will be buried under the next satisfying headline. Just like last time. And the time before that. The game is rigged. And they’re not even trying to hide it anymore…

BREAKING: Just five minutes before Trump's announcement to halt the attacks on Iran, massive trades reportedly hit the market. In one move, $1.5 billion in S&P 500 (ES) futures was bought while $192 million in oil (CL) futures was sold. These orders were 4–6x larger than anything else at the time. The trader seemingly made huge gains. Unusual.

So we have a TSA employee clearly doing their job while an ICE agent hovers over their shoulder trying to be intimidating? How is this productive?

5 minutes before Trump’s announcement: * $1.5B notional worth of S&P500 (ES) futures are bought in a single clip. * $192M notional of oil futures (CL) sold. More than 4x-6x any other trade size during the market close. Insiders profited from his lies in broad daylight!

Trump has done double digit totally insane impeachable crimes and people are just pretending he didn't and not talking about it. I'm losing my fucking mind over here.
