Sure but he got momentum from people on the forum and his notoriety as the kiwifarms guy , he also heavily relies on the forum for cawntent. Without the forum he wouldnt have thousands of viewers on his podcast, thats indirect income from the site.

Think he's actually mentioned on stream that even he's been surprised by the number of viewers he has who have no idea what the Kiwi Farms is and he'll occasionally throw out a comment along the lines of "I have a website too come check it out." The site audience helps but there genuinely is a substantial contingent of viewers completely divorced from that. I think my first sighting of his stuff beyond someone offhandedly mentioning kiwi farms on another forum was being recommended MATI on youtube.

This argument feels rather petty and semantic anyways, if you want to count second order consequences and stuff that's your deal but he's usually talking about the site not making any money in such a way that the site is defined as a distinct entity from MATI, as it is legally. It feels a bit like saying I make money off donating to my local library because I can use the books there to learn what I need to make some cash, odd way of thinking about things imo but you do you.

Your comparison doesn't make any sense. Defending yourself from frivolous lawsuits is not a business.

And just because the $200,000 wasn't an income doesn't mean that the site didn't generate $200,000 in donations.

The only reason Josh could raise the money for the litigation fund is because 1600 (probably way more but that's what the thread said) people who want to support the site donated to him. They wanted to support the site. The site brought in that money. Whether Josh gets to use it on banana pepper seeds and subway or if he has to use that money on litigation is irrelevant. Most people don't have paypigs willing to give them 200k for a legal fund. Most people have to pay for their own legal funds.

I don't even know what "moid" and "femoid" mean (derogatory term for men/women?) but I'm tired of seeing this shit in a lot of unrelated threads and I'm still surprised why this 3/10 trolling tranny @Lidl Drip that's constantly derailing threads with shitflinging over sex isn't banned. I guess it's because it pretends to be a woman online after chopping its cock off? lol
Also yeah, gender sperging threads don't even act as containment threads because the cancer is allowed to spread throughout the site. It's always the same shit with troons: if they demand a safe space and you give them so much as an inch, next thing you know - the entire community/website/etc is now infected.
Delete man/woman-hate and all the other dedicated gender wars threads, permaban everyone who starts gender sperging in any thread for the next month then just delete posts/threadban for off-topic discussion once the butthurt trannies clitty leakage stops.

You shouldn't be expecting people to know what an IOLTA account is

Point of information, with a million caveats about specific situations (of which I have no knowledge), and about the following being very broadbrush bc taxation laws are arcane, etc:

An IOLTA is just a form of CTA (client trust account, in which lawyers are required to hold unearned client monies) in states that have IOLTA programs, which use interest (the "I") on those funds for legal aid and similar programs. A CTA is either IOLTA or non-IOLTA; where IOLTA are mandatory or the attorney can and does opt in, shorthand for a CTA is IOLTA. The difference. An example of use of IOLTA funds.

Crowdfunding donations without a reward to the donor are typically considered gifts and therefore not taxable income to the recipient.

Gifts received to a CTA shouldn't get different tax treatment than gifts to the organization itself.

Additionally, practically speaking, donations direct to a trust account are locked up for a specific use, and as not (usually) considered taxable income, would not be typically considered in a profit/ "making money" analysis. Unspent funds would be an asset of the recipient organization, but limited.

The point of donations to a CTA/IOLTA is that that money is in a trust for legal expenses - so the donor knows it isn't funding pizza sprees or other operating expenses.

Correct. Null has no access to that money whatsoever and it is not considered income by big daddy gubbmint. Only Hardin has access, and only for his fees (if Hardin wants to take money out of the IOLTA account for his hourly rate billing instead of sending a bill to Null, and Null agrees to do it that way) or expenses related to the case. Now skeevy lawyers can do skeevy stuff on their own, and with skeevy clients can do skeevy stuff together, with an IOLTA account. So there are kinda major professional and criminal penalties for being skeevy with it. Not that Hardin is a skeevy lawyer, he isn't, and Null isn't a skeevy client either. But the point is there no way for Null to get that money without both he and Hardin breaking the law bigtime, which neither one is going to do

I think the relations between the male and female posters of the site felt different a couple years ago, before the lidl profile activated, I would say they were better.

I have a lot more respect for HHH than lidl just because HHH isn't relentlessly kissing dear leaders ass cheeks at every opportunity. It's only a one-way exchange, but to see someone go from deranged hatred to "omg nullee is streming vidya :ratface:" in general chat makes me a bit nauseous. I feel repulsion the same way you would feel it for someone sucking up to the teacher, or the person in your workplace who you know is a rat. The language of those threads seeps out of containment into other threads which is.....it's bad energy.

I often think of Otterly's comment about how she thinks there is a lot of money behind getting men and women to hate each other. I definitely agree.

Yes, though if a client requests return of unearned monies, the lawyer must do so. The funds belong to the client.

Yes. But in this case, the IOLTA account is receiving donations (gifts) from third parties for the purpose of paying legal expenses. If Null said gib me dats, Hardin has to say yes, but Null also would have to be careful crossing all the t's and dotting all the i's after receipt from Hardin, or he could get in some shit. Which he isn't going to do to himself lol
 
how many of the manhaters and womanhaters have had an actual significant other? Like a proper IRL one, not like some internet discord one?

I have never had a missus, gee-eff or a significant other, for what it's worth. I am as pure as lily and untainted by the sins of the Daughters of Eve
