The argument was that there were no ads on MH videos. That was probably caused by adblock users.. >>

I wouldn't think the ads exist in-universe, honestly. That being said, it doesn't seem vitally important to know how Jay makes money.

Honestly, at this point I'm just assuming that he's a trust fund baby or something similar. I know one person who's 28, never worked a day in his life, spends 100% of his time online, and still acts like a socially-awkward 16-year-old. That's probably Jay. I like that interpretation because it makes Tim's constant irritation with him a lot funnier. And it's totally reasonable that Jay would be self-conscious and not tell us this fact about himself.

Well when you think about it, every time we've seen Jay not investigating or driving, he's just sitting around on his laptop.

There's also the possibility of student loans. Depending on where (if anywhere) Jay was going to college before all these shenanigans started, that could've been a significant chunk of money Jay could have taken with him on the run. Or online jobs, like editing and what not. Maybe he freelances his services to different websites.

If he's very careful about how he spends his money, yes. If he eats cheaply (doesn't eat out, but buys stuff like bread and peanut butter from the store) stays at hotels with cheap weakly rates (and remember, he's single, so he'll fair better than a couple or family would), and uses places with free wi-fi he could last for quite a while. And for all we know, he works as a temp. of sorts, picking up odd jobs here and there. Enough to get by on. Hell, if he had to Jay would probably (and already has at points) sleep in his car.

So I'm assuming that nobody's on board with the ad thing? Sad

I would assume ads exist in game. I don't see why they wouldn't.

I always assumed Jay had insurance money from his house burning down.
