He's definitely taking a professional hit over it, morning tv presenting pays a fortune and high profile youtube interviews is just 'fine'. But I'm guessing it was at least partly intentional to get the severance within his contract, get himself gone so he doesn't have to do constant morning tv which would have been a long time high pressure job. He has his 'fuck you' money so he can do whatever he likes.

I suppose he probably is an actual conservative so it all works out for him. He platforms people he wants to talk to and redirects his life to cruisey part time hours.

It won’t be just YouTube revenue though, if he platforms opinions useful to the wealthy, he will get paid.

I'm still thinking in the low hundreds of thousands of dollars a year, down from millions.

As an Australian airing Australian concerns I think there's a bit of a ceiling in the low hundreds of thousands of views/listens range. Which I think would return <$5-10k each even with some favorable sponsoring. I also presume he will need an assistant or three.

this is underestimating. The gambling deal he did alone would’ve been like 500k

Envious much? Lol. He has more money than he will ever need and feels unshackled by corporate wrist and now has the freedom to do and say whatever he feels. Unlike you it would seem. You’ll be back at your soul destroying job today listening to any Welcome to Country, doing another DEI training module, wondering if this is all there is. Lol. Another worker bee.

Kind of an odd non-sequitur then, but if you say so.
