Well its not hard to estimate.
If his trend of income has been +2% average for the last 3-4 years and its suddenly jumped to +200% can you think of any other major newsworthy mentions Brand has had?
Russell Brand.
- Thread starter Von Smallhausen

In defence you have a history of making a statement and then, when asked to expand on it, you spend pages upon pages dancing around it and trying to avoid answering.... You should try a career in politics

The difference is opinions. You should give more career advice.

Yes I am seriously questioning your view.
I am specifically asking you to backup how you think places like C4 and BBC are making any more than they were.
We know how Brand would, more traffic. Whats going to drive C4 higher income?
Soldato
Apologies, perhaps I wasnt being clear as you seem to have missed my point.
You are against Brand from benefitting from his increased audience. My point is that Brand didnt ask for it or go out seeking it. The increase in audience was caused by other people.
EDIT: And now, not only is he not benefitting from it, it is impacting him negatively (financially)

Still funny, but time for a new image.

Right yes agree, so seeing as this is completely unexpected for him, he didn't actually do anything to trigger it hes only losing something he would never have had right?
Lets also put it this way. Lets say he gets waaay more clicks, and it genuinely increases traffic for him in the long term after either not being charged, or found not guilty. Once the shadow has passed he will benefit from more income then and he did nothing for it.
Easy for the unscrupulous to take advantage of a boom in traffic don’t you think? A quick false claim of wrongdoing for a B list celeb to make some money.
So you didn't know that when there is a hot topic, it tends to increase viewership above the baseline viewership they would get on a regular day?
Generally speaking more views increases revenue due to monetisation methods usually being tied to viewership numbers.

Sounds rather conspiratorial.
You missed the point, they shouldn't have to be careful, and we shouldn't have to be either.
Four years of work though. That’s how the press industry has always worked.

Monetisation for the likes of you tube yes
But not in regards the likes of C4.
Your claiming both sides would benefit and from my understanding of how the likes of C4 receive their funding they are unlikely to see any noticeable benefit.
The BBC certainly will not receive anything from the "extra clicks"
Your right, no one would ever lie to make money from such a scheme. What was I thinking.

But he isnt solely losing the money from increased clicks, he is losing all his "normal" money from demonetization too.
Think you've been here long enough to see that how this place operates. Dance around into confusion or so much so that no one can be bothered. There's a name for it based on a user, hmmm what could it be.In defence you have a history of making a statement and then, when asked to expand on it, you spend pages upon pages dancing around it and trying to avoid answering....

I’d write a very strongly worded email to Google about the financial plight of Russell Brand, TBH.
Include the Oh you image and offer them career advise too.

Wait a minute I'm spotting a pattern here.
Roar- Elon doesn't care about money.
Roar- Russell doesn't care about money.
He stopped making movies because he couldn't get any decent parts. He had his moment like many actors but he wasn't exactly a talented one who could deliver in a wide range of parts. Maybe his reputation became a problem and he was being black balled because of it, that is just a guess though.
Of course he runs his YT for profit. The guy isn't an idiot. Why would he leave money on the table that Google would owe him? Wasn't he also promoting products that he would be getting paid for on his channels?
Considering he was worth around $20m himself when they divorced and were only married for a year, trying to take her for millions would be petty in the extreme.
