New theory: Jay stays in hotels because it would be stupid if the first half of season 2 took place in a soup kitchen.

Theory: The MarbleHornets channel being a YouTube partner is canon in the series, Jay lives very frugally off of his own savings and the income of his channel.

Partners can make a living off Youtube.

No, not really.

I actually half wonder if maybe the Marble Hornets DVD is canon as well, to one extent or another. Obviously the commentary and blooper real wouldn't be, but perhaps in-universe he has a DVD of everything he'd found off Alex's tapes, plus ToTheArk's responses (a few of which show material from the filming of marble hornets), and he sells that at the in-game version of the website linked on the channel?

I know several partners. It pays the basic bills. Don't tell me it doesn't.

Actually, someone said that was how the Operator makes his money.

And I know plenty of Partners too, whose paychecks basically amount to about 40-odd bucks every month or two.

I don't think Jay would ever make DVDs of what's going on. The way he treated them at the beginning of the series makes me think he just wants to make sure people know what's up but don't get sucked into it.

No one else has considered day trading? Maybe Jay's just good enough with the stock market to keep himself going.

My friend Adrian an I often wonder about this. The three biggest theories we have are:

He lives off of an inheritance
He never finished college and lives off of student loans
It's just a show, you really should just relax.
