Interesting take, I'd hope it is contentious situations that someone is trying to make a quick buck over, but not for his sake, more due to that meaning a bunch of women maybe weren't raped/abused/controlled.

Estimates are about £1 million a year.
Where's that estimate from? That's not too shabby, though for his subscriber count it seems low.

If you're thinking of the likes of Socialblade, their estimates are all best case scenarios. They can't see what's demonetized and what isn't, and assume that the CPC is way higher than it is. A few Youtubers have made videos about this, usually followed by "pls sponsor my patreon lol ktnx".
So you’ve decided to go on a weird trump tirade because reasons.He's a proven liar, everything he says is a projection or a lie (or both), trump tried to sue her for defamation stating that she said he raped her, it went to a judge, the judge threw the defamation claim out the window, naturally.
Judge says E Jean Carroll allegation Trump raped her is ‘substantially true’ in court dismissal
Ex-president claimed that writer defamed him when saying he raped her, but judge said term is commonly ‘used and understood’ in contextwww.theguardian.com
Basically 100% of everything trump says is a lie, this much is evident based on literally everything he says being fact checked and proven to be a lie.
Quite frankly my mind is full of boggle wondering how anyone can give a moment's doubt that people like him are not guilty becausethey hand you the evidence against them all by themselves in everything they say and do. The only reason he has yet to be criminally charged for anything all these years is because he has money and sway. But that's about to change.
And you resorted the throwing out insults.
Oh goody Ive aroused the the TDS sufferers.
P.s according to the AP it was sexual abuse not assault. What ever the term means. Then again you’ve always been very loose with the definition of words.

Welcome to 2023
In 2023 those with TDS are confirmed as those who think Trump was anything but a lousy president.
TDS turned out to be suffered by those very people who kept going on about it.
He's finished now anyway, no matter what happens.
Another outspoken person silenced
Yea that too.
To me it sounds like it's way more than £1m per year, for a channel that size. Particularly once brand/sponsorships are taken into account.
Taken from BBC's news this morning: Speaking to the Guardian on Monday, Sara McCorquodale, chief executive of social media analysis agency CORQ, said Brand's YouTube channel would "most likely" be "making £2,000 to £4,000 per video, not taking into account any affiliate deals and brand sponsorships that might be running in the background".

In a way I hope he's actually guilty, as it would be pretty **** to be accused of a sex crime if you were innocent. People don't get over that.
I'm sure he'll still make a healthy living grifting off idiots on Truth Social or one of these other pits that awful people go to howl at the moon.

plenty more idiots in the sea.
Firstly my reply should not be taken as supporting a sex offender or abuser. If Brand is tried and found guilty then I hope he gets everything he deserves. I can't stand him and based on previous behaviour the accusations could be well founded.
But so far these are allegations. Nothing is proven. They are simply allegations at this point in time. Yet his whole reputation and livelihood has been trashed. His events have been cancelled and YouTube have demonetised his site (I see they haven't banned him so they are still prepared to make money themselves from his content). It's the same as someone losing their job simply on an accusation without any chance of a hearing on the matter. Women can, do, and have lied in the past. While I'm not saying they have lied in this case, I'm really not comfortable with this. Like I said, if he is found guilty then so be it, "bury him". But on the principle of innocent until proven guilty this is not a good situation our society finds itself in.

So people are happy for someone to be attacked like this, have their career ruined and life turned to hell with no actual charges proven against them?
Do you realise how sick that actually is?
I guess from the history or certain posters here they'll just dismiss this without any internal critical thinking, but it was worth a go. As long as the right person is targeted it's all good I suppose!

I don't watch his blather, does he shill stuff on there?
Otherwise if you take the upper limit of £4000 a video and he makes 5 videos a week that's £20,000 a week/£1,040,000 per year.

Everyone is innocent until proven guilty, so if you literally witnessed a crime and there hasn’t been a trial yet, the person didn’t do it. Hell, if you literally *committed* a crime and there hasn’t been a trial yet, you didn’t do it.
If I was accused by multiple people of serious sexual crimes, I would fully expect to be suspended from my job until the accusations were settled, and yes, it would probably damage my reputation!
I find the simple act of not behaving in a way that causes people to accuse me of serious crimes prevents that from happening though.
Not sure, but given that other channels do it, it wouldn't be surprising. I'm also not sure how Rumble is monetised. I have to be honest I assumed at least one video a day looking at his recent output on YT (like yourself I have never watched Brand on YT). Also obviously YT gives him a platform for his tours, TV appearances and all the rest. So without this he will struggle (irrespective of whether people would work him again). There's also the loss of future earnings and how some of these Channels have become big business (i.e. Pat McAfee and his $85m deal to stream on ESPN etc).
Maybe I'm wrong and the daily newspapers are reporting £1m per year. That said it's not uncommon for these sorts of estimates to be off.
