Meanwhile direct sponsorship, nebula and Patreon are all there, but they require different effort and possibly budget changes. Begging at the mercy of YouTube is just easier.

RLM has one of the biggest Patreons.

The reason they haven't succumb to sponsorships is exactly because of their giant Patreon. That's about the same reason they don't really care about monetization on every video. This video was more about their uploads being entirely hidden from view by YouTube's nebulous automated system.
