After a day where Jose “Chille” DeCastro apparently doxed the location of his new studio in the first video posted to his new First Amendment Auditor channel, the YouTuber completely ignored the controversy as he went live from the studio later in the evening.
As usual, DeCastro’s Tuesday evening live stream focused on the evils of police and policing in America while completely ignoring both the self-doxing and the DeCastro themed livestream going on over at Christopher “Direct D” Ruff’s YouTube channel.
DeCastro spent part of the evening focusing on fundraising for Craig Hendry, who has been in the Vermillion County, Ohio, Jail for the past two weeks after having his bond revoked. DeCastro guided his fans through the process of sending money to Hendry’s commissary account again and took donations on behalf of Hendry.
The YouTuber took in $173.00 in super chats during the event, with some of that money earmarked for Hendry’s defense.
Addressing Hendry’s invitation for DeCastro to attend his November 19, 2024, trial for harassment charges in Indiana, DeCastro said he was strongly considering going. He did express that he was “very busy” with his First Amendment Auditor launch, however, and wondered aloud if he’d have the time to make the trip.
DeCastro’s announced rebranding as First Amendment Auditor has seen slow progress in the three days the channel has been active on YouTube. Despite DeCastro’s 623,000 subscribers on his main channel and constant mentioning of the new channel, subscribers to the new channel are stuck at 209 as of press time.
Such low numbers to DeCastro’s free new YouTube channel also may be a warning sign for his paid TeamDLZ.com service. When DeCastro appeared on Clash with Bao he stated that within a week he’d see hundreds of paid sign ups for his new service followed by thousands of signups in quick succession after that.
The total apathy from his fans towards the new channel, as roughly .032% of his subscribers from his main channel have signed up to the new channel, comes on the heels of his total disaster of a Patreon launch earlier in the month.
Despite massive amounts of hype, DeCastro was only able to convince 52 of his subscribers to sign up for the free version of his Patreon page with five of those electing to pay the base $10.00 a month subscription to his page.
DeCastro has apparently abandoned Patreon and his paying subscribers, as there are only 13 posts on the site, the majority of which are recycled YouTube shorts that he is charging $10.00 per view to non-members.
We will have a full update on DeCastro’s dire numbers along with full details of his attempt at a publicity stunt in Canyon Country, California in tomorrow’s edition of Auditing Insanity.
