There has been a lot of behind the scenes noise for the past couple of weeks of something happening with Philip DeFranco's channels/company.
Word today that he is becoming independent again after having purchased back his shows/branding/channels.
He will be forming an independent news network built around the Philip DeFranco (5.3 million subscribers) and Philly D (1.1 million subscribers) YouTube channels.
To provide some backing in the current environment of collapsing ad revenues for YouTube creators, he has launched a Patreon campaign.
The Patreon campaign has built up over 6,000 patrons in 3 hours.
I'm really intrigued to watch this develop.
