    I mean, its a cute cartoon. But David Rubin’s already a fucking millionaire off the right-wing news circuit. Tim Poole isn’t Mr. Beast, but he’s unconscionably close. And these assholes weren’t getting paid rubles in double digits. They were shilling for six figures hard American.

      Sorry, I don’t know who those two people are. I do know Mr Beast, but only because @[email protected] mentioned he was evil, I looked into it a bit and I could see what he meant. It can get very John-the-Revelatory, if you’re into the whole Abrahamic thing.

      This cute cartoon is a hypothetical visualization of a claim that Funhole (or more specifically its founder @[email protected] ) is sponsored by the Russian state, as have been previously suggested by many investigators - and yet the potential it has to influence the American people is valued at 15 rubles, which aims to be the pun of the cute cartoon, and in some way a proposal of the Funhole’s founder innocence of foreign influence.

      That being said, we all have our price. I make Fun content. I do not know the man.
