He said he had a retirement fund that he was able to cash out if he had less than 2 yrs to live. It's pretty confusing. He cashed it out and then had the surgery so now he needs money? I really liked Paul at the beginning of his cancer postings but he's gotten off the rails a tad too much.
I do think Australia has disability benefits.
"Financial help if you have a physical, intellectual or psychiatric condition that is likely to persist for more than 2 years and stops you from working. Not everyone with disability or a medical condition can get Disability Support Pension (DSP). If you can't get DSP, you may be able to get other payments.Feb 6, 2024"
It’s a weird one for me because I used to like Paul but when he started discussing Jenny apple and was actively trying to gain more followers, I saw a side to him that I’m not keen on. And at the same time I have empathy for him. The surgery and problems he went through are quite something. If I had the same diagnosis I know that I wouldn’t put myself through such a surgery,
I don’t believe Paul will ever be cancer free, I think surgery’s extended his life. What if he remains depressed and suicidal? Is that quality of life? Anyone that opens a YouTube channel and makes public their health is open to the publics opinions. The majority of comments left on his videos are words of support and encouragement. Of course there will be a small amount of negative comments, but Vloggers should expect that.
How many of go to the cinema then discuss the film? Some will rave about the film and others will think it was absolute garbage.
If Paul isn’t emotionally strong enough to deal with those negative comments then maybe he needs to really think about vlogging.
Something that confuses me is the way he sways and becomes very blunt about things.
A while ago he was looking to see if any of his subscribers could offer him accommodation. He gave out his email address and bluntly told his subscribers not to email him if they couldn’t help him. He had no interest in meeting up with any of his subscribers. Later he changed his mind and asked if anyone wanted to meet up. Paul then asks for financial donations? Just a few months ago nobody knew this man and he didn’t know any of his subscribers. He had zero interest in making friends, zero interest in anyone offering advice, but then suddenly is very open to accepting cash? All these cancer bloggers usually end up asking for cash. They are already getting paid for views but that’s never enough.. the majority end up asking for cash. Cash for treatment, cash to pay their funeral, cash to support their children, cash for living expenses. Cash, cash and cash.
