I mean, most people have "free" shows, but the audience can still contribute. It's the basic structure for most online shows and, even the ones that are paywalled usually have a free component to hook people over and drive discoverability. Most shows are free.
If it's free, who is funding it?
Silly question, and you obviously want the answer to be Big Whamen.
Yes, but all those "free" shows are on platforms where ad revenue gives some kind of safety net.
Not even true. Plenty of those shows are mostly or entirely audience funded, since YT is lame and demonetizes them. So people have been running actually free shows for ages, it's nothing new.
He's also not exclusively on Twitter, either. Other platforms will have ad revenue and, again, this isn't a new business model, or anything to be suspicious of. Also, Matt Walsh is big name, he could even have a contract directly with Twitter, for all we know. Even if it's not exclusive, and not to anywhere near the same degree, this is a little like Spotify snagging Joe Rogan. Twitter wants this, to pull in even more creators. Rumble has also been paying creators directly, so there might be another contract there. He's also with the Daily Wire, which has a lot of sponsors.
Again, this is very standard stuff, there's no 'shadow money' or anything (at least no more than with anyone else) just because it's a "free show."
Your question isn't valid it's absurdly obtuse with a sprinkle of im14andverysmart. He gets paid by the Daily Wire. He gets paid by ad revenue from advertisers on his show. He makes additional money for speaking and selling books the value of which increases due to his visibility from the podcast. He's not doing the show for free nor did he (again, to a person of normal functioning) suggest that. You get to watch it without having to go through the Daily Wire paywall which, in normal parlance, qualifies as free.

Now Big Wahmen is secretly funding Matt Walsh, and not the sponsors and company he works for.
Imp gets crazier every post.
