Yeah but I doubt it. He's chump changing Chris.
There's a pattern I've noticed about Chris in nearly every human relationship he's ever had: Nobody interacts with Chris for free. There is always a price tag he has to pay up for in some way or another if he wants people to talk to him or socialize.
Entertainment. You got the famous internet retard to make you a medallion and you sent him a video of you lighting it on fire and pissing on the ashes. Chris paid you to pretend to be a girl who was interested in him so he'd have some attention. Or you get him to sit on a cake because he thinks what your into sexually and that's what he has to do to keep you interested.
Money. Chris will donate to your patreon or commission art pieces even if he's aboslutely broke. Or pay you 6,000 so you'll play pretend and roleplay with him because he's a lonely faggot with no friends. It is in no way different than when he paid a hooker to fuck him for six minutes and listen to his life story for the rest of the hour.
Attention. This is a big one, nobody really cares about befriending Chris in any capacity, they care about being seen in the company of the Internet's Most Documented Weirdo. Without his infamy, he's a pathetic loser, one that Sockness wouldn't lust over... one that Null wouldn't have tried to protect from being taken advantage of.. one nobody would care enough about to donate to after he burned his fucking house down. If there's no benefit, there's no point.
Schadenfreude. Your just into that kind of thing. Hell, Chris will willingly torture himself on camera if it meant someone wouldn't ignore him. He pretty much likes it at this point because he associates it with the dopamine he gets from being interacted with- almost like, I don't know, A HUMILIATION FETISH.
Revenue. Monetized videos, shitty silver coins, your own line of merch- people will find ways to make money off Chris even if it means not directly getting it from him. Though it's still having to deal with him in some capacity, even if it's just being associated with him.
Oh course Praetor is fucking Chris over, but its more like that's their payment for having to talk to him, touch his gross semen/piss glazed merch, give him asspats to keep bitch boy on task, deal with weens, run an actual business if you want to call it that and forever have the poo on their hands. Chris is fucking lucky to get whatever he is out of them, if a drawing sells for two hundred dollars and he gets ten bucks to go grab a few bottles of fanta and a package or two of noodles? Then that's what he's going to get, its not about what's right or what's fair, bitch boy fucked his Mom and someone found a way to both exploit it for money AND rip his autistic ass off for shits and giggles while he's in jail where nobody else can get to him. Its their payment for continuing to put up with him and his lunacy. Think about that, he's LITERALLY locked up behind bars without access to the internet and can fully shut out the outside world and all the people who fuck with him, but somehow... SOMEHOW.... he's getting fucked over for more money than the Idea Guys EVER did and Praetor just has to call him maybe twice a week for a few minutes. Its absolutely beautiful.
