    Not that I don’t trust a random greentext 4channer, but is this true?

    It would explain why asmongold defended him

    Edit: Ludwig is also defending him now

      Yes this is true, they’re a talent management company. A couple months back Night Inc also bought The Roost bringing H3, Phillip DeFranco, Ludwig and others under their umbrella too.

      Mr Beast went independent since this was originally posted though.

        It’s odd how I already didn’t like most of those creators to begin with. I guess this just gives me a reason

        I thought Philip DeFranco was independent? Wikipedia shows Rogue Rocket for his show?

        After searching: The Roost is a podcast company but the page for Night lists them as acquiring the show. Podcast and YouTube show with the same name?

          DeFranco lost me when he went too political. As do most entertainers. There is something when they go political, they lose what got the audience interested in the first place. Same with Rogan. The appeal is a bunch of random funny news rather than the same boring crap.

      I know beast was with a company called night owned by reed duchscher and they company claims to work with a lot of other streamers, so it’s at least true-ish.
