Netizens react as Lazarbeam says he’d be $40 million richer if he didn’t swear

Australian Youtuber Lazarbeam states he’d be $40 million richer if he didn’t swear as netizens give a mixed reaction.

Lannan Neville Eacott, an Australian YouTuber and internet personality who is better known by his channel tag Lazarbeam, came on Dexerto’s Clickbaited Show to talk about his personal struggles, major YouTube headlines, and more with Mike Kent. The social media star, who has amassed 22.9M subscribers with his video game-playing videos, got candid about his career trajectory. One of the things he mentioned in the interview was his habit of swearing on camera.

Referencing YouTube's strict user guidelines regarding Vulgar language, which got even stricter for ad policies, he states:

"I’d probably be like $40 million richer if I just didn’t swear."

He mentioned how he was gaining less than his peers even after clearing up his act:

"My ad rates were like six or seven times less than everyone else I knew. There’s was few times where I was like one strike away from channel deletion. I still am who I am, but I would’ve liked to find that balance earlier."

To show the actual difference in his earnings her further continues:

"Still doing great. Life is fantastic. I’m not trying to say it’s bad… but I could have $30, $40 million extra dollars."

According to Youtube's Guidelines:

"Use of se***lly explicit language or narratives, use of excessive profanity in the content, Use of heavy profanity or se**ally suggestive terms in the content’s title, thumbnail, or associated metadata, Use of excessive se**al sounds" and so on are not allowed. And if the policy is violated it, "could result in age restriction, content removal, or a strike. We may consider the following factors when deciding whether to age-restrict, remove content, or issue a strike."

Netizens react to Lazarbeam's struggle with swearing

While some naysayers were quick to dismiss Lazarbeam's statement as being overdramatic, others were quick to say they didn't mind or liked "his vibe". Some users also agreed that they would change everything for such a high amount of money.

"Swearing’s a vibe, but $40 mil might make me rethink my whole vocabulary."

"Another genius blaming their lack of success on language. Boo hoo, I cuss too much, that's why I'm not rich,"- one user sarcastically stated.

"Lmao yeah but it what makes him loved by the masses NGl,"- a fan claimed.

While another appreciated,- "I respect it, he chose being his authentic self over money."

A netizen joked, - "If swearing lost me $40 million, I'd owe the universe a solid… and maybe a kidney."
