Oh boy, you’re getting into British Panel shows? Good luck mate, we’ve got 100s of hours pirated and uploaded to YouTube because the BBC has been shite at making money off the distribution of media. They’ve gotten better recently but Channel 4 is the gold standard for digital distribution.

Fair enough statement about some of the comments here, but at least the original poster in the screenshot is taking it in good stride like you’re supposed to with a polite rejection.
It’s an income stream and therefore taxable (above a certain threshold). As it’s from self-employment you have to either file these earnings yourself or pay an accountant to do it for you.
Yeah and as much as we all hate having to interact with these absolute chuds, the most successful ways of deprogramming people have been through empathetic outreach.
If these MAGA chuds experience the boot of fascism first hand, that might open them up to listening to people from other groups that have had to deal with this kind of treatment for much longer.
It’s a slow process, a metric fuck ton of emotional labour, and not everyone is willing to do that work, which is understandable given that you’ll be competing against the whole outrage media and “attention economy”.
But if enough of us are willing then through genuine human connection, which everyone but a very minute actual clinically psychopathic portion of the population is so desperate for, can get these chuds to open their eyes and grow a little more empathetic.

Ay, fellow UK user! It’s simple: use a VPN to get around Kier’s wanking licence requirements.
Get this person an Applied Psychology degree, a copy of “Nudge” by Richard H. Thaler, and a Marketing Executive job position stat!
I’m only half joking there, you could write a whole thesis titled “Increasing Merchandise Sales through Gamification” where different game mechanics, merch item types, and price points could be measured against profit increases to determine the optimal RRP for a gamified merch item to have a meaningful impact on revenue. That could actually help culturally valuable places like museums who survive off grants, donations, and the gift shop.
Funnily enough there’s a term for this in the UK; it’s called Doing a Ratner’s.
I wasn’t expecting some kind of car accident transition.
