I know what you're saying and I've been through that thread and I've seen all the estimates and what not. The problem with the tax estimate? You have to take what DSP says at face value for what he owes because we're never going to see any receipts for anything. We know he has a tendency to highball and exaggerate stuff, even tiny things like saying he had literally one single doll hair left over after counting his stripper money from Sunday night and buying Rage 2.
Sure, Jan.
My issue isn't the trackable stuff like tips and cheers and what not, which actually documents and organizes very well, it's the speculation beyond that and how grossly inflated some of the numbers are. I mean, the post you're quoting is talking about his potential YT revenue, with Lotor admitting that socialblade's high estimate is $4 CPM, which was like $36k on socialblade, but then they say they estimate him somewhere between $2 and $3 CPM, while also saying that $35k was the bare minimum DSP would be making off of Youtube. That's straight up contradictory.
As it was said before, it's not something that should be bickered over, but I just have a general dislike for proliferation of wrong, contradictory, or outright speculative information, that's all. I also have an issue with biting my tongue, particularly when it comes to arguing online under pseudonyms (yes, a truly worthwhile endeavor, I know). I'm in LSB's Discord from time to time and I argue a bunch with people over similar shit. It's just that when you start accepting opinions with shaky foundations or those that only have information from one side of a story, then you have to accept all of them because they're all based on the exact same amount of non-information.
It is what it is, but I just don't like it. I'm not doing it without reason.
