Remarkable Onion
I have already previously posted about how Josh has swept for Turkey Tom:1) The donations to the legal crowdfunder are anonymous, so Null doesn't know who's donating to him and 2) Turkey Tom already has a thread on KF where they constantly drag him and his girlfriend. By your logic Turkey Tom should be one of the very last people to want to donate to Null just because he was a thread. Yet Turkey Tom doesn't seem to care that he has a thread where strangers are disparaging his girlfriend all day long.
Are you perhaps familiar with the Youtuber Jeremy/The Quartering? I have mentioned him here on OF before. Jeremy is Sektur-adjacent and used to be on Livestreams with Null and other Sektur people during #GamerGate. Unlike a lot of Sektur people who fell into the margins, The Quartering has over a million subs on Youtube. He mentioned #DropKiwiFarms when it happened in 2022 in a video. Clearly he's not too worried about getting a KF thread. In fact, I suspect The Quartering would DDoS KF more effectively than the troons do just by pointing his million+ fans there.
Now, how likely is it that The Quartering was one of the people who chipped in and gave Null a large amount? Given that The Quartering already came down on the side of KF in a video during the campaign? I mean, really, who other than multi-millionaire Youtubers like The Quartering and Keemstar who run big Drama channels would think that something like KF is worth salvaging?
You've offered an argument for why Youtubers would want to avoid donating to Null... but you still haven't pointed out another possible large donor. Who else would give 5 figures to Null? Michelle Malkin, that same Philippino woman who supports Nick Fuentes? Kanye West? Who?
You can't outright delete a thread that would have had major consequences for Josh and his reputation but not only that removing a thread triggers the Streisand effect and it could potentially damage Josh's walled off ecosystem that he has meticulously maintained for years. If the discussion is held on the farms then Josh can control the narrative, he can set the standards for what's true and what's a "gay-op". He can set the pace by hiding it in a less visited subforum or by sending in his MATI spergs to force the direction of the thread to be more positive.
Turkey toms thread is actually a perfect example of this as it is not in the lolcow section but in Multimedia. It's dead even tough we had recent drops that Lerix is either cucking him or dating his former gf and the wierd shit like him deleting his discord or how he likes creepy fanart on twitter isn't even mentioned in the thread. Instead it's just 12 pages of people linking his content.
As for the donation question. I don't think people are donating large sums as of yet there isn't proof of anything beyond kiwis dropping their welfare checks. Any wildcard I can think of that has disposable income Null has either slandered (Sam Hyde) or he is feuding with Watkins, Keemstar, Torba.
QuarterPounder & Keemstar operate on the same philosophy as Ethan Ralph if it doesn't make a dollar it doesn't make sense. They would flip their politics tomorrow if they thought they could get away with it and earn more money. They are not gonna pour money on some retards gofundme if they are not getting something from it.
