The very tried and true mentality of Steve Irwin.
“Incredible amounts of money usually don’t lie in the hands of good people”
i mean, they already got a huge donation from Twitch before and look who owns that. if its not transactional then fuck it, squeeze as much money as you can out of them.
The fact that Maya is thinking beyond just the stream and considering the bigger impact of every decision shows how much responsibility comes with having that platform
Money is money, what's the point of denying donations just because you don't like a guy? Just pure stupidity
I think she's afraid of the backlash that would happen if the sanctuary took money from someone or a group that seemed nefarious. If Alveus loses the trust of the community, it's going to be hard to get that back. Even if it's for a good cause. It's the ultimate catch-22.
I feel she and his org should be more transparent about the money people are donating to them. We don't know what they do with the money and everytime she streams or does a collab she makes like 10k or more from donations. Then you see her on a trip to japan or some shi like that
@mayahiga if someone you feel has a bad reputation or is considered a bad person, but they’re offering donations, tell they have to donate anonymously. they can’t get credit and you don’t get flak for it.. seems like an easy solution.
If the money is going to a good cause does it really matter?
just say u want to beg for more money instead of all that
Relevant clip from Steve Irwin:
Ok so she’s getting ready to take money from some not so good people and is gauging people’s reactions
"help me to never have to get a real job, oh and we'll save some animals along the way"
What a disgusting thing to say… Everyone who has money is just automatically a bad person? Why? Because they don’t give their money specifically to HER cause? Privileged dumb take
Given the plans she has announced on making her company bigger, their survival is based solely on donations is a bit of a risk. They need a backup plan of revenue in the event if twitch goes away.
the wealthy have wholly committed to scorching the earth and all life which has continued to miraculously thrive upon it. any meaningful future of conservation or environmentalism is is contingent upon the dismantling of global capitalism
Hope they didn't bite more than they can chew. Sounds like it's not sustainable by viewers and donations , she wants to advertise on other platforms for donations?
Why isn’t Hasan funding this?
My cousins best friend and his family own a local zoo. Ive seen the bills. I'm suprised shes been able to go on for so long solely off donations with how expensive taking care of wild animals can be.
It's true that all the billionaires and the overwhelming majority of multi-millionaires are not good people. It's incredibly hard to get insanely rich unless you give 0 fucks about other people.
That’s such a tough position to be in honestly
Didn't you guys see Tiger King? These people live at the "sanctuary." she already showed she'd be "giving tours" too She just wants you to pay for her land+animals, despite her ALREADY making a fortune off streaming: now virgins have to buy her a pony and a ranch to ride it on
She is a millionaire so is her family, she is a money hungry streamer just likenthe rest. She just camouflage it by "taking care of animals"
Steve Irwin would use anyone's money in the name of wildlife conservation
who cares about some dumb animals. fuck them all.
I trust a person like Maya who loved mizkif to judge the character of donators and future donators well lol
Tbf if she takes money from the hands of someone who's godawful and puts it to better use then I have no complaints
Oh boy buckle up, she's gonna have to start taking donos that the woke mob will screech about. Hope he tells them to fuck right off and does what she needs to do to make money for those animals.
Take the money from wherever most important thing is the animals
All she does is beg for money
Take their money, put it into doing good. Any bad you can convert to doing good instead of leaving it in the hands of said people is ultimately a good thing. As long as taking it doesn't mean causing/encouraging harm elsewhere.
Hard for people to donate more when nobody is really sure where all the money is going.
Notice how she covered for a dog abuser and he hasn't provided nearly as much money as the average Steve Irwin donater
![The Washington Post’s Cleve Wootson: “One more, Elon Musk is slated to interview [Donald J. Trump] tomorrow — tonight on — on X. I don't know if the president is going to — feel free to say if he is or not — but I — I think that misinformation on Twitter is not just a campaign issue. It's a — you know, it's an America issue. What role does the White House or the President have any sort of stopping that or stopping the spread of that or sort of inter — intervening in that. Some of that was about campaign misinformation, but you know it's a wider thing, right?” KJP: “Yeah, no, I mean, you've heard us talk about this many times from here about the responsibilities that social media platforms have when it comes to misinformation, disinformation. I don't have anything to read out from here about specific ways that we're working on it, but we believe that that they have the responsibility. These are private companies, so we're also mindful of that too, but look — it is — I think it is incredibly important to call that out as you're — you're doing. I just don't have any specifics on what we have been doing internally as it relates to the interviews, not something that I'm tracking, and I'm sure the President's not tracking it either.”](https://image.24vids.com/tw-1823068701240758626/ext_tw_video_thumb/1823068608278249472/pu/img/_s_gThRQNLHAOfmh.jpg)
