I think the number was 12.6 million dollars. That doesn't sound small to me when DT pays me 35c for a sub download?

I wonder where they got that kind of money to both pay for these adwords and for this expensive lawsuit. Fighting google in court certainly wasn't going to be cheap?

The conspiracy theorist in me wants to suspect if DT misreports sales to contributors. Because clearly it's a pretty widespread consensus that people aren't making a lot of money there. Which means DT isn't making a lot of money either. But they're still up and haven't gone under (yet) and that must cost a lot of money too. So either they have a lot of highly generous benefactors funding them or they aren't paying contributors what they ought to be paying them. How do we find out anyway? Unlike SS, where there's a quarterly circus where you know how much they made and how little they paid you, all of DT's sales statistics are under wraps.

None of ever got paid what we should, that's without the fraud. Agency takes 80% we get 20% (that's a big number, overall) DT paid us, on average, 35c-85c a DL and what did they license them for?

More like this. Say I made $100 on DT? They made $400. Now take that and monthly and thousands of good contributors, the numbers get pretty big.

After reading every document, from DT and the court cases, it appears that DT was dropping and dropping in the search. He spent millions to bring that back up, but the agency was losing rank. DT hired a SEO specialist, to bring them back, and that still didn't work. Maybe the big agencies and the market had changed? But his answer was, Google got more money from the top agencies, so they conspired to lower DT.

The claims were not shown to be true. He lost. Better Call Saul... DT went for the injury claim, and could have won big. I sure hope his lawyers worked on a contingency basis?
