True, Jaran Campanella spent $37,000 to go to Antarctica. I can’t find anything that talks about how much money he made before or after TFE, though. I also can’t believe it was anything like how much money Velikovsky or any of the star bookwriters made. _Worlds in Collision_ was number one on the _Times_ best sellers list for 11 weeks and in the top ten for 16 more.

I never heard anything implying that Jaran paid to go - not much, anyhow. He was one of the people covered by Will Duffy. I was referring to decreased viewership and membership in his site.

No best seller flat earth books yet. But if Trump found it politically expedient to come out as a flat earther, who knows?

My point was that I don’t think Campanella ever was making money. His Youtube posts pre-TFE had mostly 10-15,000 views, a nothingness. Those numbers have have seriously decreased in the past year, but they started too small to be meaningful.
