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.
It takes a lot of time and effort to put together a regular podcast worth listing to. You could avoid the monthly costs of servers and serious internet service by using UTube, but where are the people now who were doing that before?
