"If you are cheap"? That was a fun way to say you don't give a shit about people who can't afford it. And releasing it with one week delay will make your videos old news. Nobody will click on it unless it's something general that has nothing to do with recent events. You will make less money from RUclips ads and more thru Patreon.

LOL, $15/month. That's a hard pass. Well, it's been fun but i'm not paying to climb the paywall, good luck with that. The information is nice but it's by far not a requirement for me, not any of it. It's just entertainment/information.

Peter I fell in love with you and your work over two years ago. I purchased your five books, brought you up to friends, listened to every podcast you’ve gone on, and watched your content religiously each morning. So, it feels like a pretty big gut punch for you to call all of us “cheap”…. I really wanted you to reach 1 million followers, I don’t think that’s possible now.
Peter is the one who is cheap . His news is often several weeks old and he wants us to pay for it . Does he think it’s 10 commandments stuff or sermon on mount ? Dude that’s arrogance at next level.
It is a kick in the guts especially in this climate. If he wasn’t getting paid by RUclips I’d understand. Hopefully no one joins so he goes back to how it was
He's going to read his bank balance, it's his time he can take it in the direction he sees fit, we don't have to follow we can just wait seven whole days, a dogwatch really!?!
I enjoyed having Peter as part of my morning routine but honestly don't NEED Peter as part of my morning routine. My coffee will taste just as good watching some of the other billion content creators on YT. Ciao.
Boomer says free (Not from choice but just missing out on company pension schemes!), but have I got seven days left? Well if not all "my" troubles are over anywhooo😂!?!
What a weird decision. Peter's stuff is incredibly low effort (zero production) and consistently generates hundreds of thousands of views per video. Pretty impressive revenue stream for what is essentially a side gig. One of the more mystifying cash grabs in recent history. Anyway, unsubscribed.
its bc of the recent lashback with some of his "hot takes" in the american political sphere that he missed as an economist and now hes decided to pack his things up and go home
Yes, a bit of pontificating from memory about research done by others that he already got paid to present at a consulting client somewhere. This is a modern-day vanity press for him, but that's not enough.
Calling viewers cheap while asking for money from the scene of one of the largest natural disasters in his country in his lifetime is a new category of tone-deaf hubris.
he cant foresee geopolitical events, his explanations are only good for things that have already happened. i.e "this is the last iphone" (said like 5 years ago) "the middle east is the calmest region on earth" (???)
He may make substantially more off a small subscription audience than just relying on ad sense revenue from a larger audience. The subscription revenue is reliable where ad sense has large variation.
My mother always said "Dont burn all the bridges around you". Guess Peter didnt learn that growing up because calling your audience cheap is ridiculous. I bought 2 books, watched hundreds of adds on this channel. I always liked Peter as a guy too but right now he can shove it. Bye Peter
ex-Patreon engineer here :) I'm no longer with the company so following is just a speculation. I'm guessing Patreon offered Peter a contract to move there. I hope the price was right because he's unlikely to make much money on the platform. Nebula would've been much better choice. They have more cohesive marketing and content strategies and actually work with creators after signing them.
Thanks for the valuable insight. That makes more sense than Peter doing something most people would realize looks bad and feels bad without being prompted to make a bad choice.
@@MANUELEYTOR Exactly. Pete is going to be alright. I'm loving his Patreon anyway! And that says a lot because I normally don't care for all that "Patreon subscription bullcrap." It's worth it
Nebula isn’t any one party of the political spectrum. It’s quite literally an education-based video hosting app that features hundreds, if not thousands, of content creators. Calling it “left” is quite ridiculous.
"Cheap", Peter? I understand you need to make a living, and I value the information you aggregate and analyze. But to call viewers, "cheap?" That makes of a certain type of elitism from someone who benefitted massively from RUclips. People have budgets, responsibilities and loved ones to take care of.
It’s not like this is his main job he makes his videos while walking or getting dressed. I’m not cheap Peter I have 3 children to provide for and the economy is hard enough. I’m unsubscribing lost a lot of respect for you.

Exactly. The target audience here are those looking for actionable developments in the world from his unique insights. Everyone else just feeds the algorithm 😂 Theyre complaining but theyll return bcus their complaints are fundamentally silly anyways. 1 week delay!
I actually thought that it would be interesting to see. Not because he mentioned it... I just independently thought it could be interesting. But once you know the process you don't need to watch him do it every day.
"If you're cheap?" Why would someone pay to watch Peter ramble off script without fact-checking while he gets dressed on his way to some other paying gig? If it's ads, sure, but to pay for that? You must be joking. I own a (very) successful business. I'm not cheap, I'm just not an idiot.

The rest of us watch advertisement after advertisement to hear what you have to say. Wouldn't a better approach have been to give your Patreon viewers the new content and the ability to "grill you" and leave your existing audience happy? I'll check your page on socialblade in a month to see the condition of your channel 😂😂😂
"If you are cheap" that's a pretty lame way to look at this, and frankly you've just ensured that you will NEVER get a cent out of me now that you're paywalling these chats away. I used to turn my adblocker off for your videos too lol. Hope losing your audience is worth that little bit of monetization!
@@ktrimberger you sound just as smug as Zeihan, I'm not at all surprised that you're just fine with parting with your money. I'll never pay someone for their thoughts while on a random hike, or lately, while getting dressed (really weird choice by the way, Peter). I've given him enough money for his books.
Sorry, that's a hard pass on the Patreon deal. Your content is interesting/amusing enough to add to my YT subscriptions, but not enough to pay actual MONEY for. Good luck with that. See you around...
Hmmmm. Bit of a bad move making the Patreon the 'main' thing imo. Don't you already have a giant audience here on YT that are reliably and eagerly watching your videos? What's the guarantee you'll get a similar audience on Patreon? Of course, it makes sense to HAVE a patreon and offer extras to those interested - but to put what you've built here behind a paywall seems very ridiculous.
I remember what happened to Joe Rogan when he moved to spotify. Even though spotify is a free platform he still lost more than half of his viewers. I have been watching you daily and wish you all the best with your new plan but it is not for me I am afraid. When you recruit a few people in patreon but lose most of your audience I know you will be back here and still retain some of the patreons so it is a win win situation for you. You are a clever guy and I am sure you have worked it all out.
It's not though, his presence and power is about to be depleted to 1/4 he doesn't even realize it. Now other people have seen what he does too, and he will be replaced
That is the word he used but my British translator on Gemini kindly listed it as "freebie", maybe due to the political scandal going on here, but nevertheless a more fitting attribute (Well maybe not, but I am not going to get offended like Mrs. Trellis from North Wales {Look it up on Google!}, we are made of sterner stuff in the South), it is peculiar that a citizen from a Nation based on tax dodging can call someone cheap and a bit......Rich😂!?!
We, your loyal viewers check in to your channel for your insights and your foresight. This betrayal is a sad example of neither on your part. Says a lot about you. Good luck with that.
We’re cheap but you ask 15$ a month to hear the same repeating topics and rhetoric. LOL it’s interesting sometimes tho, but nothing i can’t wait a week for… if I don’t just unsubscribe first
We’re not getting this for free as you say. We are either paying by watching adds or paying RUclips subscription. You then get paid from ad sense. I love your content, but I’m not paying even more for it on top of that.
I definitely agree with With how you feel about how he said it, but I don’t think most of his Contant is very advertiser friendly so on that front, I understand. Good Lord, even if it’s only five dollars you don’t want to go after your audience for being “cheap” not everyone had the luxury to make money while hiking in beautiful places the man has a beautiful mind for geopolitics less so when it comes to his audience
Fair enough and your choice, of course, but he does sound like he's offering an enhanced product so it's not unreasonable to charge more for it. That's just business.
"If you are cheap"...in other words, if you want to be in the Zeihan gang you need to pay up. Expecting the offer of a Zeihan $100,000 solid gold watch soon.
This isn't the correct transitional strategy. You should have kept doing what you are doing now, and added a bunch of perks behind the paywall. You literally just tossed your diehard fans under a bus off a cliff and into a boiling ocean.
I actually went ahead and subscribed to your Patreon channel for $5. Then I discovered that I couldn’t link it to RUclips and had to watch your daily videos on my 5” screen instead of my 85” screen. Big no go for me. I canceled my Patreon subscription to your channel and will use the 5 bucks on something useful like a cup of coffee while I watch the other 40-50 RUclips channels that I subscribe to.
Patreon isn't the platform you should have chosen. You could have went private and custom developed what you need and had far more revenue and ability to customize.
Yeah sorry, I’m a college student that has no money to begin with, won’t be paying for another subscription. Don’t alienate those that want to be informed for being less fortunate
Thanks Peter for your past video's, they have been informative and on occasion provocative. I know people have to make a living and I am sure this will enhance yours, good for you. However when the video is free, they tend to be of service and less biased and more thought provoking. I think I have seen enough video's that the hype does not equal the content, much of it old, and many not well thought out. I will miss you Peter.
But it's not a paywall ... it's just a week delay before it's uploaded on RUclips still for free. It's not like his info is cutting-edge current stuff that you need to know right away anyways ... am I missing something?
I smell a Howard Stern moment. He leaves free radio for a lot of money and becomes much less relevant. Enjoy your breakfast. Peter's ego is getting the better of him as reflected in posting that show last week while getting dressed in his hotel room.
Nobody is going to Patreon man... you're just losing your entire audience of loyal followers. Maybe. MAYBE. A few rich simps will follow you but sooner or later they'll get bored and move on. Either way it seems this channel died today.
This video and announcement will be remembered by Peter as the downfall of his public video career. It's like a lesson in how to destroy your audience in 1 minute. Call them cheap refer to their fellow countrymen who are suffering under natural disaster including over 100 dead as 'moist'. This guy is being ratioed out of existence 😮
The content creators don't understand how superior the RUclips app is to literally everything else. It will lower viewer counts simply because of that and not $ if they move off.
Peter and team - have you considered doing a membership model through RUclips directly as well? This would make it easier for those of us who are willing to pay and go through here. Please consider this for some point in the future. Thanks for reading.

His audience are people paying $700, or $1500, or $3000 for the 2 hour interactive lecture ❤. We are just a way of a promotion for him. No free lunch or something...
Yes there is a "free lunch" gee by golly giddy up partner, Yippy yip hooray, it's in the form of a seven day leftovers, anywhoooo moseying on (UK bloke trying to talk Americano for inclusivity😂?)!?!
Exactly. The target audience here are those looking for actionable developments in the world from his unique insights. Everyone else just feeds the algorithm 😂 Theyre complaining but theyll return bcus their complaints are fundamentally silly anyways. 1 week delay!
I don't think many people care about how you "start to prepare your day"
I actually thought that it would be interesting to see. Not because he mentioned it... I just independently thought it could be interesting. But once you know the process you don't need to watch him do it every day.
zeihan entered his pay to play stage.
Thanks probably won't watch any more. Been fun.
The videos are still coming just with a week delay…
I can still find his content if I'm curious, but it's over for me. He has taught me a lot,.
yep same

"If you're cheap?" Why would someone pay to watch Peter ramble off script without fact-checking while he gets dressed on his way to some other paying gig? If it's ads, sure, but to pay for that? You must be joking.
I own a (very) successful business. I'm not cheap, I'm just not an idiot.

You bragging about having a successful business in a random RUclips comment over the announcement that your niche news will now be delayed for a week conveys a lot about you.

@@1000PpigeonInASuit. I read it as he’s saying I can afford you but I don’t think you rambling the cliff notes from your paid presentations while you’re hiking is worth money especially since the whole thing is just to promote your speaking tours so it’s like paying to see a commercial

"If you're cheap and like it for free" ... Myself and many others PAY for RUclips Premium. The rest of us watch advertisement after advertisement to hear what you have to say.
Wouldn't a better approach have been to give your Patreon viewers the new content and the ability to "grill you" and leave your existing audience happy?
I'll check your page on socialblade in a month to see the condition of your channel 😂😂😂
"If you are cheap" that's a pretty lame way to look at this, and frankly you've just ensured that you will NEVER get a cent out of me now that you're paywalling these chats away. I used to turn my adblocker off for your videos too lol. Hope losing your audience is worth that little bit of monetization!
Get your petty ego out of the way and cough up the five bucks a month and join the club
@@ktrimberger you sound just as smug as Zeihan, I'm not at all surprised that you're just fine with parting with your money. I'll never pay someone for their thoughts while on a random hike, or lately, while getting dressed (really weird choice by the way, Peter). I've given him enough money for his books.
I just lost a bit of respect for you
Right? I signed up for the free Patreon just to be like “this is how I can support Peter” but if he doesn’t want my cheap ass that’s cool too.
@@MisterCatLady Bye mister cheap ^_^
Well, guess I’m cheap then…
I'm not 'cheap' i can't justify paying while my kids need food.
The cheap move is to turn on the people who grew your reputation in pursuit of coin.
Sorry, that's a hard pass on the Patreon deal. Your content is interesting/amusing enough to add to my YT subscriptions, but not enough to pay actual MONEY for. Good luck with that. See you around...
Not gonna lie, this hurts.
Read the video description
@@towritemichelle210 what's your point?
Hmmmm. Bit of a bad move making the Patreon the 'main' thing imo.
Don't you already have a giant audience here on YT that are reliably and eagerly watching your videos?
What's the guarantee you'll get a similar audience on Patreon?
Of course, it makes sense to HAVE a patreon and offer extras to those interested - but to put what you've built here behind a paywall seems very ridiculous.
Did you even check? Or listen to his announcement? You can join his pateron for free ...
It says in the description that he is continuing to post on youtube, just with a week delay. Don't know why he didn't make that clear in the video lol
@@jamesdavison3172He already said that in yesterday’s video. How much repetition do we need?
@@TankEnMateJoin for free but everything is paywalled
@@TankEnMate Are you slow? Joining his patreon for free gives you the same delayed videos as you get on RUclips.

Same

I remember what happened to Joe Rogan when he moved to spotify. Even though spotify is a free platform he still lost more than half of his viewers. I have been watching you daily and wish you all the best with your new plan but it is not for me I am afraid. When you recruit a few people in patreon but lose most of your audience I know you will be back here and still retain some of the patreons so it is a win win situation for you. You are a clever guy and I am sure you have worked it all out.
Same.
It's not though, his presence and power is about to be depleted to 1/4 he doesn't even realize it. Now other people have seen what he does too, and he will be replaced
How’s Joe Rogan doing now?
@@Frannie2199 He came back on youtube and regained his lost watchers. I am watching him again
YUP lmao and look at peter thinkign hes bigger than joe rogan
Ok, I am unsubscribed
He called who won't subscribe to his Patreon cheap
Coming from an individual that is very wealthy
That is the word he used but my British translator on Gemini kindly listed it as "freebie", maybe due to the political scandal going on here, but nevertheless a more fitting attribute (Well maybe not, but I am not going to get offended like Mrs. Trellis from North Wales {Look it up on Google!}, we are made of sterner stuff in the South), it is peculiar that a citizen from a Nation based on tax dodging can call someone cheap and a bit......Rich😂!?!
patreon is lowbrow
We, your loyal viewers check in to your channel for your insights and your foresight. This betrayal is a sad example of neither on your part. Says a lot about you. Good luck with that.
We’re cheap but you ask 15$ a month to hear the same repeating topics and rhetoric. LOL it’s interesting sometimes tho, but nothing i can’t wait a week for… if I don’t just unsubscribe first
I'm staying subbed to see the response video, haven't seen a shitshow like this in awhile in a comment section 😂
We’re…….CHEAP?!
Thanks Peter!
Maybe you’re GREEDY?
Ew dude. Unsubscribed and not going over to the patreon
Keep it moist Peter, keep it moist...
one more "if you're cheap" remark and I'll hit the "DO NOT RECOMMEND THIS CHANNEL" button so fast your ponytail will unravel.
You're cheap
I ignored people calling him a sensationalist just trying to sell crap to people... Good job making me feel like an idiot.
Somewhat flippant and glib here, what with the devastation in NC! Bit of an a**h0le today, mate!
Yeh I think he read the comments from the last video. They were 99.9% "bye" comments and I don't think he expected that... So a bit cheesed off...
I thought the exact same thing.
Not just today - most days. That's smug Zeihan for you.
We’re not getting this for free as you say. We are either paying by watching adds or paying RUclips subscription. You then get paid from ad sense. I love your content, but I’m not paying even more for it on top of that.
Don't lie bro it's free and you're not paying for premium
I definitely agree with With how you feel about how he said it, but I don’t think most of his Contant is very advertiser friendly so on that front, I understand. Good Lord, even if it’s only five dollars you don’t want to go after your audience for being “cheap” not everyone had the luxury to make money while hiking in beautiful places the man has a beautiful mind for geopolitics less so when it comes to his audience
@@IzzYonWheelzz There was no malintent in his use of the word cheap. You and many others just chose to interpret it that way.
Fair enough and your choice, of course, but he does sound like he's offering an enhanced product so it's not unreasonable to charge more for it. That's just business.
A country is going to fail because it's demographics, I just saved you the monthly subscription fee
"If you are cheap"...in other words, if you want to be in the Zeihan gang you need to pay up. Expecting the offer of a Zeihan $100,000 solid gold watch soon.
Nope. Not doing Patreon.
Great I get my news a week late and unless I have to pay
Wel, all good things come to an end. Thanks for your service.
I’m cheap!
I come here for comedy and am never disappointed.
0:40 "Of course I'm cheap." That's where smart money lives!
PEACE OUT MAN IT WAS FUN IVE REACHED MY PATREON LIMIT!!! GOOD LUCK!
i aint paying money to watch a 7 minute video a day maybe if it was a multi hour podcast each week discussing all the geopolitics happenings
Peter, I give Patreon money to tiny, niche creators that I like, who would be unable to make a living without it.
I can't find one positive comment. 🤔🤷
$21.50 CDN for the Analyst subscription? That is like a 4k Netflix subscription!
He’s acting like an Only Fans girl
Does have that vibe doesn't it...
He's definitely got some "sassy girl" in him....😂
yep he got spoilt on youtube money
and it's 💔
thats the shortest and best description ive seen in comments. bravo sir
This isn't the correct transitional strategy.
You should have kept doing what you are doing now, and added a bunch of perks behind the paywall.
You literally just tossed your diehard fans under a bus off a cliff and into a boiling ocean.
1st day on this channel and first Peter vid i have watched. Taking this as a sign ✌️
Who's your financial advisor, S Wounder?
Another will step into the void, but I really enjoyed it while it lasted.
What are you talking about? You’ve been always at least a week late with the news.
I actually went ahead and subscribed to your Patreon channel for $5. Then I discovered that I couldn’t link it to RUclips and had to watch your daily videos on my 5” screen instead of my 85” screen. Big no go for me. I canceled my Patreon subscription to your channel and will use the 5 bucks on something useful like a cup of coffee while I watch the other 40-50 RUclips channels that I subscribe to.
Byebye peter
Translation. I can't handle ppl calling me out for being wrong a lot. So pay me to listen to all my fake news.
Patreon isn't the platform you should have chosen. You could have went private and custom developed what you need and had far more revenue and ability to customize.
Yeah sorry, I’m a college student that has no money to begin with, won’t be paying for another subscription. Don’t alienate those that want to be informed for being less fortunate
It's the internet, where you dont have to pay for anything...
Thanks Peter for your past video's, they have been informative and on occasion provocative. I know people have to make a living and I am sure this will enhance yours, good for you. However when the video is free, they tend to be of service and less biased and more thought provoking. I think I have seen enough video's that the hype does not equal the content, much of it old, and many not well thought out. I will miss you Peter.
Peter, You may be getting bad advice brother. Take a breathe.
Holy smokes, man. We're not all wealthy oil industry execs like your core audience, Peter.
And goodbye 0:40
ahahah peter. the walking Dunning-Kruger goes paywall.
good luck in the echo chamber.
But it's not a paywall ... it's just a week delay before it's uploaded on RUclips still for free. It's not like his info is cutting-edge current stuff that you need to know right away anyways ... am I missing something?
I smell a Howard Stern moment. He leaves free radio for a lot of money and becomes much less relevant. Enjoy your breakfast. Peter's ego is getting the better of him as reflected in posting that show last week while getting dressed in his hotel room.
Quite an interesting day to have the last word on RUclips Peter.
Why watch you get grilled once a quarter when you are getting grilled in these comments?
fr thats why hes running
Nobody is going to Patreon man... you're just losing your entire audience of loyal followers. Maybe. MAYBE. A few rich simps will follow you but sooner or later they'll get bored and move on. Either way it seems this channel died today.
I think most will not unsubscribe and will be unperturbed by content being delayed for a week.

This video and announcement will be remembered by Peter as the downfall of his public video career. It's like a lesson in how to destroy your audience in 1 minute.

@@jesan733dumbest comment of the week folks! Thanks for the laugh!!!!😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Patr...who?
Sorry, the buses don't go there.
The content creators don't understand how superior the RUclips app is to literally everything else. It will lower viewer counts simply because of that and not $ if they move off.
Peter and team - have you considered doing a membership model through RUclips directly as well? This would make it easier for those of us who are willing to pay and go through here. Please consider this for some point in the future. Thanks for reading.
Dudes last upload was him just talking while packing and he expects us to pay? Hard pass
I will not be going over.
