Why would that mean they are suddenly untrustworthy? Anything they are doing online is using up time and energy that they could be using to produce income elsewhere. It is taking time and energy away from job and family. Why shouldn't they make some money at the same time they are giving away information for free? If they were demanding subscription fees before sharing anything, that'd be different.
I keep seeing comments about this that don't seem logical to me. If you don't want to donate or buy a t-shirt, don't. But that has nothing to do with their credibility.
People who report news and are influencers can sell tshirts and have merchandise, but when people claim that they have insider info and then try to earn money, it kinda is suspicious.
But in that case, claiming to have insider info about Q is what damages their credibility, whether they're selling anything or not.
Most Paytriots have no products in exchange for your donation. They have nothing for sale. They just want money for having connections that don’t exist.
....i can think of more people who sell me cry than don't.
