If you aren’t going to do the work of verifying any claims you hear, you aren’t a reporter. You’re a blogger.
“I’m a reporter, not an accountant”
Oh, wow. Put down the shovel.
You’re not an accountant, nor are you his publicist/shill. If you’re not here to vet or contextualize, your job could be outsourced to a voice recording app and a typist.
Look, I thought the last Suicide Squad trailer looked fun. We all know how that turned out to be. Wasted potential, alas.
You don’t think it’s part of the job of a reporter to verify the claims being made in your article? You could have researched California tax law or included information from a source familiar with streamer taxes in the state? I understand your point and I’m not suggesting you’re intending to mislead, but “I’m a…
Fun in a DC movie? Edgelord fans will be pissed.

Lawyers working on contingency take between 40-60% of a settlement or a verdict, hedge fund managers take between 25-40% of profits, movie theaters take 40% of film revenues, and the list goes on.
Considering that without Twitch and their platform, this dude wouldn’t be making nearly as much from doing nothing…
Then maybe don’t publish an article until you can verify the tax amounts? It seems really irresponsible to write an article that’s just “person makes bold claim!” It’s like publishing an article “Trump says millions of votes were fraudulent” with no follow up (yes I know plenty of outlets did that, but it was bad)
It would be nice if his math made more sense at face value.
Oh my god this math makes me freaking angry. None of this is how that works. All of the money paid to charity, all of the money paid to moderators, all of that gets deducted from taxes (NOT from net profits). If he is paying 75k to mods, and donating 80k to charity, then that means that his taxable income isn’t 300k,…
Sandler is at least doing stuff like Uncut Gems.
“Crude and lazy” describes everything Kevin Smith has done post, say, Dogma. Not that Dogma—or anything else Smith has made—was a great movie, but it felt like most of the people involved with it were at least halfway trying.
So, you’re saying my “2022 World Cup Champs” T-shirt is premature?
If he’s comparing himself to Banksy because he also destroys things around him to make his work look good, then I would agree.
Yeah, but he gave a fake name.
Let me guess, he called in the bomb threat from his cell phone...
Scorpions are just part of living in Arizona, the wood pile in the back yard probably didn’t help but they’re native to Arizona and they’re everywhere in the Phoenix area.
Routing power to forward barrier, indeed.
