Last night's stream with Alex Stein, cyber attacks and air traffic control get brought up at 1:13:03. Alex says that airplanes will start crashing if the internet goes down. Tim says that won't happen. They'll just be grounded because they won't be able to properly communicate to control air traffic. "If the internet goes out, planes will emergency land and then be unable to takeoff." Which is retarded. ATC functioned before the internet even existed. Modern air control does utilize the internet to a certain degree, but it's still mostly done via radio transmission and old-fashioned radar. The FAA is looking to move to a fully networked solution, but that would be private WAN and not connected to the internet, similar to NORAD, the Pentagon and other sensitive critical infrastructure. There is a potential for such systems to be breached, but it would require compromising numerous systems to get into the network and you most certainly cannot just hack straight into the systems from across the world.
Alex Stein thinks TV stations won't be able to broadcast if the internet goes down, but Tim corrects him that TV stations will still be able to broadcast digitally over the airwaves.
@ Party Hat Wurmple Luke has said before that he doesn't get paid, I think Seamus has, too. I know Tim has said that they don't. They get to enjoy the amenities of the Beanie Not-A-Compound, which is pretty extensive and generous in its own right, so there is that. It also drives eyeballs to their content, which is a worthwhile endeavor in its own right.
As far as his old IRL streams, I just find it odd that it's only the ones with Adam. Jack Murphy stepped in to help out after Adam got booted and right now that is the oldest IRL made publicly available. (FWIW, old IRL clips with Adam are still available) I can understand not hanging onto the streams if they were hosted on his own network, with bandwidth being costly. But YT hosts all of that, so who cares and why not leave it up and publicly available?
@ JamesWebbSlinger I don't know how you managed to watch all of that. I made it 20 minutes the first time. Second time I made it to 2 hours and couldn't take another second. I haven't seen much of Destiny debate, but he was well behaved when he debated Cenk. I think it was Alex Jones acting like a drunken nigger that set the tone and Destiny ran with it.

My understanding, based on what little has been mentioned before, is that super chats and ad revenue for IRL are pooled up and used to help pay the news staff (now known as SCNR) and for various staff that runs his totally-not-a-compound compound. Tim doesn't take a cut so that the revenue from IRL can be better spread to staff and funding more projects. People still regularly paypig IRL with $100, $50 and $40 super chats.So what about all those superchats?
Have they dried up completely?
