Viewer demand didn't come from upward-bound entrepreneurs after all, it seemed, but rather from those enduring the kind of precarity where the precise timing of a $2,000 deposit could mean keeping the lights on or the difference between housing and eviction.
觀眾的需求似乎并不是來自向上發展的企業家，而是來自那些承受著不穩定收入的人——準確的說2000美元訂金可能意味著能開著長明燈，或者是住房及遭驅逐之間的區別。
These audiences didn't want yesterday's news, or even this morning's; the slightest budge toward progress was meaningful and welcome.
這些觀眾不想要昨天的新聞，甚至今天早上的新聞；取得進步的任何微小進展都是有意義和受歡迎的。
So the output of YouTube updates was relentless: Every hour, a glut of new videos provided the latest on whether relief was coming and how many dollars of it were likely to arrive.
因此，YouTube上的更新內容源源不斷：每小時都有大量新視頻提供最新消息，說明援助是否會到來，以及可能會收到多少美元。
Paffrath typically uploaded two videos each day. Some content makers uploaded three or more. There was, often, simply not much to say.
帕夫拉斯通常每天上傳兩段視頻。一些內容制作者上傳三個或更多。通常情況下，根本沒什么太多可講的。
The key to collecting views was simply to serve as foil to what the audience saw as an infuriating lack of urgency from Congress and the president.
收集意見的關鍵是，它僅僅是為了襯托觀眾認為國會和總統缺乏緊迫感的憤怒。
The YouTubers tended to mimic the calm, authoritative style of cable-news anchors, but other than reading other peoples' reporting off printer paper, there was little to do beyond trying to match their viewers' exasperation.
YouTube上的人傾向于模仿冷靜、權威的新聞主播的風格，但除了閱讀別人用打印紙做過的報道、試圖迎合觀眾的憤怒之外，他們幾乎沒有別的辦法。
The visuals, comically, featured the same techniques used to press investment schemes: stock images of fanned-out $100 bills and tantalizing click bait like "$4,200 STIMULUS!"
有趣的是，這些視覺資料展示了與宣傳投資計劃相同的技術：100美元鈔票呈扇形排列的圖片，以及誘人的點擊誘餌，比如“4200美元刺激計劃！”
Paffrath has a charisma that cuts through all this. He's exceptionally talented at talking to a camera, a natural salesman.
帕夫拉斯有貫穿所有的魅力。在照相機前，他如同天生的推銷員般侃侃而談。
But when he turns to a flowchart breaking down the Biden stimulus proposal, what might even be sincerity leaks out.
但當他轉向分解拜登刺激計劃的流程圖時，他的真誠會顯露出來。
Judging by the ad hoc community formed in his comments sections, his viewers appreciate it.
從評論區來看，他的觀眾很欣賞這一點。
