Schaub apologized to his audience, saying, And I apologize to everyone in the show”. He revealed that sometimes his free-spirited talking had gone beyond some guidelines posing the threat of demonization. He stated that his audience is concerned about “getting the show de-monetized and suppressed” but he also stated, “that’s why we’re here”. 

We all know how people aren’t allowed to present their raw opinions on broadcasting platforms. But, if these restrictions slowly start to get applied to independent social media platforms as well, then Schaub would rather give up than walk on their guided narrow path.

He stated, If I have to change and bow down to their criteria and what they think is misinformation is what they think I can’t talk about, I’ll just screw it. I’ll rather do my thing, I’ll retire, I’ll make less money, it’s fun. I have so much fun doing those things”.

‘The Big Brown’ hoped for a more restriction-free right of expression of opinions if Musk did actually acquire Schaub’s desired platforms, Instagram and YouTube.
