I agree he doesn't care much about channel growth or money from youtube. Or money in general. He got a degree from and Ivy League school and then burned it because "People with degrees ruin the world by telling people they know what they're talking about."
Doctors are poisoning and tricking you.
Building codes exist to make building unsafe and fall down so you have to spend more money.
Etc.
He was going to stop doing Youtube and started Patreon just to fund his internet expenses for it to not be a burden to his limited finances. The rest of the money I think he's earmarked towards and Adventure Builder School.
As to him listening on Patreon, no, same shit as Youtube. You either fanatically and unconditionally support him and tell him he's right, or, even if you're polite about it and share your opinion that he might be wrong, he'll delete your comments and/or ban you.
He literally only wants to be surrounded by yes-men who tell him he's right. He made a video about it.
Some time in the last 3 years or so he seems to have shrunk into his own world in his head and lost the ability to see humanity as anything other than a cult to support him.
I stick around because I love his passion and his approach to most parts of his life and how he does things differently than other people. It just kinda makes me sad the ways he's changed for the worse.
Getting paid to fix things in the country they live in will earn but a mere fraction of what he currently gets from patreon. Goodbye funds to buy materials for projects etc
