Channel 5 on YouTube has picked up where they left off.

Yeah I was about to say, though I'm getting a bit worried that as Andrew grows more successful and grows his operation, the more it will start to resemble a traditional news outlet (much as Vice did in the later years).

In any case, I'm hoping once Channel 5 grows big enough they can relaunch Hamilton's Pharmacopeia (though by a different name, of course).

I know, but I liked the docu format and you can't really tell the same stories with the budget he's operating on.

(I love the Patreon tiers.)

I think he's principled enough to keep creative direction on it. And just like with All Gas No Brakes, if someone else takes ownership and he disagrees with their vision for the content, he'll just move to a different channel or platform. His fans are devoted enough that they'd follow him.

It seems noteworthy to point out there are multiple, credible sexual assault allegations against this man:

I don't really think that's relevant to the journalism he's doing. If he didn't do it, hopefully the courts will determine his innocence. If he did do it, hopefully the courts will punish him appropriately. But either way the work is good and it's worth one's time to watch it.

Sorry to be pedantic, but in the US courts do not determine innocence as this is presumed. The courts determine guilt.

This is important to know because with cancel culture and even that previous comment, it seems people have this relationship inverted.

Yes, it's nice to get real news after so long dealing with fluff. Peter Santenello and Soft White Underbelly are also good to see what the US actually looks like.
