Will Justin win his case?

What do you think about turning TYT into a consumer cooperative, to ensure that in the long run TYT never becomes like MSNBC? In a few years or decades at some point the founders will inevitably leave the company, and be replaced by new people, who may not share the original vision. To make sure that those replacements do actually keep on doing progressive politics, we could literally sell TYT to its audience, stock by stock. To make sure it doesn't become just another "corporation", you only allow each person to own up to 10 shares, and then each person gets one vote in electing the board. That is very similar to how German cooperative banks, called "Volksbanken" (people's banks) are run, owned by millions of people democratically in their community. Plus it would give TYT a good cash boost, and the members would also potentially get a dividend, if they vote for it of course.

I really think it's necessary to give the grassroots real power at TYT on an institution level, as well as an ownership level. Plus, it would make collectives more well-known, which I believe probably all of the moderators like. Oh, and it would be great PR and kinda fun.

that would be up to them, we are a totally separate entity

Right. I was thinking since you have some connection to them - you're part of the TYT network similar to Kyle or Jimmy I believe - you could bring it up to them if you like the idea. What do you think about it?

that's what I'm saying, we are not part of the TYT network and we have no connection to them.

Oh, oops :/ I don't know why I remember that wrong, sorry

If I'm annoying you with this question just say it, but in general, though, not just with TYT, what do you think about the idea?

Also I heard you're friends with Kyle, in case you're actually for this you could tell him about it if you like. So far in the comments under TYT videos, most people I've written about it liked the idea of turning TYT into a cooperative a lot, to ensure TYT always stays true to its message
