There's so much to unpack from this AG interview.
We build these enormous moments for these apps and platforms and payment is reliant on people DONATING..?!
When you say that out loud it's pretty wild. TikTok did $9.1 BILLION in revenue last year. Yet people like AG streaming household names doing street performances relies on viewers sending a tip still.
£1300 cost for him to perform with these high level artists outside. That's an insane amount of money / risk involved when you can't rely on steady statistics backed income.
He's revered by the press and the government. Does nothing but good work for people. Performs in care homes. The guy deserves all the success in the world.
Surely these platforms have to do better for people like him?

No mention by the BBC that far right activist Daniel Thomas slashed a boat with a blade.
No mention that he is even far right .
All they report is that he ‘shared a YouTube livestream.’
Surely people reading the news might want to know these crucial details?
