She already made 300k in one month(!) on merch. 6 months is a lifetime of earnings, if not more. I would take that deal any day.

Do you think she makes the same money if she’s “forgotten about”?

Def not 1000x better than winning the lottery lol

Imagine a firefighter got paid up front based on how big the fires they put out are, and they get monthly kickbacks based on the severity of the fire. Bigger fires, causes more damage? Save a cat? Oooh that's real good. That's gonna be a bigger upfront payment, and bigger payouts every month.

That monthly stipend slowly goes down over time, and not every fire is a big payout. But you still get the upfront payment and some kickbacks for everything, even for pointing a garden hose at a bush. You also get the kickbacks from all the fires you put out recently, those start as big monthly payouts and go down over time. You have those new monthly payments, in conjunction with all the monthly payments from the rest of the fires you've put out in your career.

Those are residuals. They're the best part of working in the entertainment industry.

What a horrible comparison with the fire thing lol. I get what you’re trying to say but in no way is hypothetically maintaining popularity to continue to get paid better than a large upfront payment that you can get “residuals” from just by getting interest on the account without putting out “any fires”.

Shes one month away from underperforming before brands and affiliates pull out or a scandal away from losing everything. None of that can happen with MONEY YOU ALREADY HAVE EARNING MORE MONEY lol

Comparison is the thief of joy.

A different person said it's 1000x better. I said she's hitched herself to a pretty good ship.

Where did you even come from lol I deliberately ignored your reply and replied to the other person. She’s on her third podcast episode that’s hosted by a famous YouTuber lol.

And let’s stick to the whole point of my comment was winning the lottery is better than making a podcast in hopes that it will continue to be successful seeing that most podcast fail in year one statistically.

That’s was it. Idc about what if logistics if she continues to be successful.
