Bret Weinstein makes at least $7000 a month from Patreon, more likely closer to $15000

Heather Heying makes at least $8500 a month from Patreon

Combined, at least $200k annual income to create a conspiracy theory podcast

#FollowTheMoney #TakeTheHill #FollowTheSilence

remember when a bunch of #GamerGate goons got mad about Anita getting a $150k one time payment for a YouTube series?

The very same incels are giving Bret Weinstein a quarter million a year to create worst YouTube channel ever

#FollowTheMoney #TakeTheHill #FollowTheSilence

keep in mind that any money Bret Weinstein and Heather Heying saw from YouTube monetization was a bonus on the $200k they were already getting from Patreon.

Guests likely unpaid & entire series edited (for free?) by their kid Zack.

this is an example of the type of galaxy brain takes that Bret Weinstein puts out there that apparently result in his podcast being worth millions of dollars

Bret Weinstein *could* get a real job.

or he could just get sent an insane chain email from Steve Kirsch, & then say "wow Steve, my dude, that's a lot of stuff you have there" and pocket hundreds of thousands of dollars

Bret Weinstein = 3,536 patrons

Heather Heying = 1,669 patrons

5,205 total * $5 typical tier = $312,300 annually from Patreon.

yet YouTube ads were apparently still 'half' their salary, so they need to sell shirts now

Assume Patreon takes huge cut / some patrons cheap. Bret Weinstein still has $200k/year.

& add 2 Princeton fellowships = each a half academic salary & has living allowances.

YouTube doubling this would put them in $600k range

#FollowTheMoney #TakeTheHill #FollowTheSilence

for a 2 person podcast making over half a million yearly, dollar for dollar Bret Weinstein's podcast is one of lowest effort podcasts of all time.

it would be the worst if Eric Weinstein's didn't exist. he has even deeper pockets.

any chances their fact checkers are going to see any credit?

is there any other "science" show on earth that both misrepresented plain language published from CDC and endorsed a retracted study in the same episode?

this is a first for humanity, and it's so embarrassing

Correction # 1 was a fucking mess

it's popcorn time, folks! it's happening! 🍿🍿🍿🍿

who is going to get Dave Rubin in the divorce? probably the Weinsteins

Claire Lehmann is amazing, as she'll tweet about how we need to do science slowly and carefully and respect the data, just after she goes on tweetstorms accusing every black woman with long nails of being a steroid user and Olympic cheat

computing is a mistake as it gave men that the false idea that programmers are useful and smart

i have never really met a smart programmer. programmers are just really good at categorization. i'd trust a programmer to sort through my recycling. that's about it

every company in the world understands that they need programmers to sort through the dustbin of technology, but they really don't trust them with any business or creative control, because everyone knows that programmers are daft

it's funny how Quillette / intellectual dark web people think that there is large social stratification caused by huge IQ differential, yet when it comes to questions about science they just let any old fucking idiot ask a question, as if everyone is operating on equal footing

"populations at scale fit a large bell curve of IQ, necessarily implying that billions of people are morons. however, i have proven my worth in this world, as I have graduated fifth place in not pooping my pants at daycare"

if you think standardized testing can tell apart whites and blacks and asians, then you should not only be looking at someone's academic history, you should also look at their ancestry profile, right?

but no, it's always like "MagaPatriot1776 can't be lying about ivermectin!"

imagine spending hours clipping a podcast to include only relevant bits of a claim instead of a bunch of on-air fumbles

and then people that should be paying attention just think you're unfairly editing to make their science daddy look like an idiot

my clips of Bret Weinstein's podcasts are cut up because Heather Heying is always saying 'ummmm', Bret is distracting all guests because he's glancing around the room like a space cadet and they are always fucking around with their MacBook for half the episode

every Bret Weinstein "Dark Horse Podcast" episode is like 3 hours long, and it's an 1 hour of just dead air and then 1 hour of dumb banter and then 1 hour of being insanely wrong and irresponsible
