Yep Schumer caved. SHAMELESS. Shame, shame, shame.

Ben, Dear MTN. Been with you since about mid-2023. Paid subscriber and have done so with joy. I'll keep this short (bit off topic as I'm not sure how to just send a heartfelt comment from the European perspective).

* Subscribing is free but I am willingly a paying member = paying for news, for truthful reporting and I do NOT need any perks.

*Re perks: "ad free". Well I bit the bullet and pay YT and never see one single pop-up ad EVER. The only ads I see are in your posts. So except for the live shows, I just fast forward.

*Re ads: From Europe it makes zero sense (cents/centimes!) to buy the products advertised. Taxes, transport, etc. So sorry.

*Re perks: zoom meetings - yikes at 3 am European time. Not a perk.

I'm really trying to think how to help build the European audience. In live chats we are not too many, but we are here. Concerned and informed folks or perhaps, like me, born in the USA and scared shitless about the fascism and the ongoing COUP in my country of birth.

Being retired and a boomer, I've time to watch MTN and dozens of other posts.

Please collaborate with as many other independent creators/channels as you can.

I'm literally clapping my hands and slapping my desk with a big YES as the viewer numbers just keep going up and up.

My last outrageous suggestion is: invite Jimmy Kimmel to your show. He's got 20 million viewers or better yet, get invited to his show! Or Jon Stewart or Colbert. Go for the gold in late night shows!

With so much respect and support, thank you for reading this. From near Paris, France
