“The only reason they’re talking st is that they’ve just realized that ‘holy fk, it might actually work’, and that scares them,” xQc said. “Because if this st fails and they pull the plug, all they will have is their morals and ethics in their hands, and fking nothing else. And not a platform to brag about it anymore.
“Empty hands, morals, and that should be enough for you. Morals and ethics should be what you care about, right? Not what it comes with then? But it seems like these guys, they want to dip their fking bread into the sauce, and they want to also eat it then. And there’s a chance they might not be able to do that then if that st f**ks up, and that scares them.
“They are afraid, and I’m not gonna say ‘oh, they’re just because they’re broke’, I’m not gonna do that. Actually, I will, yes. They are scared because they might become broke then.”
