Stay informed about Inside xQc's Leaked Dm's with H3 Podcast Host Ethan Klein. Discover essential facts in full detail.

This next part is pretty revealing as xQc, a man who loves to gamble, shows his hand. xQc tells Ethan the YouTube react videos aren't meant to make money, and if he would give 100 percent of the revenue to creators if he had to. The paltry $100,000 he makes of them is nothing compared to the $100 million he got from Kick Streaming to create content.

He asks Ethan why he cares about money so much because he himself has money. The implication here is, Ethan shouldn't be concerned about xQc profiting off the work of others because Ethan is financially stable. What we learn about xQc is that he might not understand what altruism is. Getting paid for one's work matters to the people doing the work. According to xQc, he cares a "f--- ton," and if people want to get paid for his use of their videos, he'll do it. The thing is, apparently no one has asked him for money.

Unfortunately money matters because "not everyone is a millionaire," says Ethan. The response of xQc is somewhat confusing. "That's why we try to be careful to a certain degree," he writes. "Sometimes some mishaps happen, but we're on top of it." What mishaps? Anyway, xQc is going to "expand his library of react-friendly" channels while Ethan remains concerned about content creators potentially losing money because of them. And so it goes.
