For those of you wondering, this is why JT needs more money to keep running his channel (lemmygrad.ml)

But if you're doing the work, its not profit, its pay right?

it's 5 people's work, if JT receives a greater share of the surplus due to being the owner than he would if they were all equal partners then he is exploiting the other workers. It's the relationship of him as the owner and them as the employees that matters here.

Sure. Though I suppose somebody could just ask JT directly the how's and why's. Not as a "gotcha!" but as an explainer on how to set up something like this in a capitalist hellscape.

But should any of this change my opinions about JT or Second Thought or The Deprogram? Its not a big enough sin for me.
