Someone please give this man a job.

Williams has filed a lawsuit against three individuals who, according to the lawsuit, took Williams for a ride, knowing he was suffering from severe substance abuse...

The suit claims Suissa, Thomas and Cipriano got Williams to sign a "one-sided, onerous, burdensome, non-negotiated and blatantly unfair" deal that gives them a huge chunk of any money Williams makes.

Thought this was an interesting tidbit from the Times story about RT and YouTube:

Today, RT ranks among the top news channels on YouTube for views, subscribers and “engagement” such as comments or likes. The most-watched clips on RT are not political or anti-establishment videos, they are snackable content. A clip of a homeless man with a gifted voice for radio is the most popular video on RT, viewed 40 million times since it was uploaded six years ago.

Russia’s Favored Outlet Is an Online News Giant. YouTube Helped.

 

Seems like posting all that "snackable" content seems like a a good way to get eyeballs on some of the more divisive content. It's so easy to end up down a rabbit hole of videos on YouTube.
