To be fair, it seems like Matt is doing okay now. I listened to a stream a couple months (weeks?) ago where ReviewTechUSA/Dickers was talking to Matt and Matt was saying he upgraded from “Uber driver” to “driving a shuttle for senior citizens on vacation cruises”. He seems to be making an okay-ish wage and he seems to not miss YouTube as much.
Thread tax: I can’t ever see Dax getting a real job. He claims Jesse PS got him (Dax) “job lynch mobbed” from UCB, but to hear Maddox’s black ex gf and Jesse tell the story, Dax was banned from an unpaid/non-paying event at UCB (the “Tournament of Nerds”). The closest Dax ever came to having a “real job” was the Pizza Hut commercial, and he did get cancelled from that after he got offended by Jesse saying “nigger” on a pay walled stream to the point where Dax was heavily implying to his sycophants to report Jesse’s Patreon.
Say what you will about other people in “the sektur” but other than Ralph, Dax, and even technically Rekieta*, most of them had real jobs or done something that qualifies as actual employment. Andy, PPP, Gaytor, even Perspic is/was a snow shoveling lawn mowing milk fed gimp. Meanwhile Dax has always lived off his dad’s trust fund until he “glommed onto someone more famous” and then got his own grift going. That’s one of the reasons (imo) why Dax is so lazy and boring with the content he puts out nowadays. He’s never had to work for anything. He just phones it in because he’s used to other people giving him money for doing little to nothing at all.
*= Rekieta says he “worked” for a bank but the way he tells the story, he basically dicked around doing the least work possible until he threw a temper tantrum and left once his boss asked him to do sales.
