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.

On June 17, 1783, Congress received a message from soldiers of the Continental Army stationed in Philadelphia, which demanded payment for their service during the Revolutionary War.
