Summary
He angrily denies leeching, claiming YouTube earns more than his wife’s two jobs and his former £1,400 monthly petrol-station wage. He says they split rent, electricity, and food equally; he purchased household items and gifts, while she bought an iPad keyboard. He defends YouTube as work, citing past 40-hour night shifts, hobbies afterward, and rejecting claims he contributes nothing.
Insight
Criticism triggers contemptuous self-justification, while “interesting” becomes subjective and based on shared interests.
