      Valentino Deerpalsing You are confusing how things work. The money made by that channel went to Motortrend, not them personally. Mike has his own channel doing car stuff with quite a few sponsors. It’s way better than Roadkill. The reason they couldn’t chose their own sponsors before was because the channel belonged to Motortrend who got to choose. They only got paid a small portion of what the channel made because it didn’t belong to them. Learn how things work before you open your yap and just make yourself look stupid.

    To all of those that always complain about Roadkill not being free on UA-cam, do you work for free? Or do you work to just make enough to cover the cost of your gas to work, the clothes you wear to work, and the meals you eat at work? I doubt that anyone will answer yes to either of those questions. So why should all of the people that work hard to make Roadkill not make money, or only enough to cover their expenses? There are more than just 2 guys working on this show now. There is the camera and sound crew, the producer, the editor(s), the people that take care of the travel arrangements, and the PR people. On top of their salaries, there is the extra expense of lodging, dining, and travel (airfare, rental car) for everyone that goes on the road. On top of that, there is the cost of the vehicles and parts. Yes, the show has sponsorship, but most sponsors do not cover everything, usually just some parts.
    So again I ask, how many people work for free, or only to break even?

    You guys should have PFD's on while you’re zooming around. If you got ejected at speed by hitting a wake or such, it’s like hitting a dirt road, except you don’t sink on the road.
