Sam's financials are a mystery and he's notably retarded for giving money to talented deadbeats who don't finish their assigned projects, but he's arguably the most successful underground comedian of our time. This is a guy who used to sell cars and record videos in his mom's bathroom and he now owns an office and expensive vehicles, has tens of people on salary, and is minting thousands of NFTs on Ethererum. If he's having money issues he's definitely not showing it or he's a master at evading debt collection. I don't see this affecting his bottom-line too much if it blows up in his face
As for his content I think his main problem is he's got too much going on at once. He had been teasing Bill Griefer promos for months before it came out and I guarantee that they filmed it sometime last year. Their NFT project was hinted at in 2020 and it's barely seeing the light of day now. His video game has been in the works since 2018 or earlier and we won't see it for another 10 years at least. Even his low-effort podcasts are months behind. Right now I think they're releasing shit they filmed in March or April. I don't think everything Sam produces is amazing but the projects he puts effort into are still consistently enjoyable, when they actually come out
Anyway enough dick sucking, watch more MDE. Or don't if you think Sam is a boring edgelord; I get you, he's not to everyone's taste, but it's still better than 95% of whatever shit people watch on TV these days
