Note how no one seriously tries to go after Carl Benjamin any more. Know why? He is completely independent of all the usual services.
Also his channels are demontised, and a lot of their content is shadowbanned. He's effectively a toothless tiger in the eyes of the establishment. Russell Brand still occasionally appears on talk shows, prime time television, and has an expanding reach, whereas Carl's reach has mostly peaked and he's entirely reliant on crowdfunding to sustain his ventures.
