A PAYtriot is basically a glowie who uses their glowie-ness to solicit donations. These PAYtriots use Q to line their own pockets by offering the "inside scoop".
I've followed x22 and Praying Medic for a while now and both of them, imho, are PAYtriots. They are sponsored. Every x22 video has a 1 minute sponsored ad in the beginning. Both sites offer paid memberships and private server rentals.
Be careful who you follow and who you trust.
this is true, it's nice to listen to these guys considering 99% of all media is pure trash, but at the end of the day that's their paycheck and they need to churn and create content.
