There’s no way they’ve made 50k. My biggest video is 281k views and that made $1040. They’ve definitely made some $$, just not that crazy much.
That being said, if they did orchestrate and selectively edit the situation, they made a garbage decision and will give another black eye to those of us who enjoy filming and storytelling. There are plenty of people who do everything the wrong way just to cause controversy and drive views. I’d be pretty disappointed if I have been supporting them and it turns out they’re a bunch of liars. Landowner and hunter relations are shaky enough, we don’t need to make more drama. If they were, in fact, in the right and this guy just went nuts on them, then they deserve every penny they get. If it was all a set up, I hope they get the punishment they deserve.
If the farmer was set up, that’s really shitty, but I cannot see a single way to justify him acting the way he did. He’s a grown man and absolutely did not compose himself like one. I would be embarrassed if he was my family member. Maybe if anything, this is an opportunity for old Jeff to get some therapy and settle his high strung butt out.
