Are you telling me if you got offered $700k+ for something

Depends on who I am and what "something" was.

If someone offered you $700k for something, yeah, you'd better be skeptical because you're not worth that much. But you aren't Dave Rubin or Tim Pool. Dave is delusional enough to think that he's worth that and Tim Pool, with his audience, almost certainly is. Are either of them worth $5m/year? I'd say probably not.

Of course, without editorial control, I don't see what someone would stand to gain from giving either one of them anything, but that's a whole different issue. And if it was just a honeypot to begin with, the "investors" don't need to gain anything, which makes the whole thing make a lot more sense.
