Hi, just to clarify - two things. I find it interesting that Colleen. also wanted suggestions from fans, even from Adam. But as far as I remember, she did not ask people to give her money for the "privilege" of then giving her also suggestions?

1. does Adam's Patreon have like a second tear, i think, where people should pay Adam (as is customary on Patreon), but not for perks but to give him video suggestions?Literally is it presented as sthg you pay for? ... I see there is also a flair here in this sub called Video Suggestions. I guess that is at least something that we do not have to pay for, but is it a tier on Patreon?

2. Colleen complained about youtubers using Patreon but now her family uses it too.
   in a similar fashion,
   Adam complained about something else - Youtube is known for filtering various risky words linked to more sensitive topics. Everyone knows that and to avoid de-monetizing of videos, most Youtubers censor, bleep up, etc., such words, which is very standard. Most websites these dates might not display even your comment unless you skip or censor certain words. It is at times annoying, sure, but it is kind of everywhere.
   I've seen a part of Adam's video
   where he criticized youtubers for this. Sure, it is his choice to upload something without any censoring of any specific words - but why insist that it makes him better than any other youtubers? Most people are not exactly rich, many are financially strugging more than Adam, it is normal business to try and keep their videos monetized and therefore bleep certain words. Why was he saying that he is somehow better?

He was implying that the other youtubers do this to spare the viewers' feelings which of course we know is not even true.... The trigger warnings serve better for that - so we can click away completely if today is not the day to listen to something extra difficult for us, sure.
But why judge people for doing the standard practice of bleeping out words?

I assume John Oliver does not exactly smile happily, when working out.
And I am aware of certainly not looking great when I work out - so....what was that bit about how funny an 80 year old dude from Brasil looks like when he works out?
I felt just weird watching it. i also kept thinking - his body certainly does not look bad compared to 80-year olds from my family.....

Literally a joke about his face? Most 80 year old people generally have sad-looking resting face unless they smile, what do you want from them?
.....Like, any 80 year old always looks kinda down, when not smiling...

Also, what do you think I look like when I work out, being half of that age....?
I dunno I guess the joke is that he is still a politician....?
So politicians just always look bad.... so he should not film himself working out unless he looks like he's 29, and smiling like a stewardess in 1960s?
