Should we stop supporting them with our eyes for taking sponsorships from shady companies?

Edit: I took my first step and unsubscribed from the channel and I will continue to withhold my viewership to those that don’t take better care of the viewers.

Likely doesn’t matter, but I’m on a roll of not giving my money to companies that are immoral so why not do the same with my eyes.

    This is a silly take. You can’t ignore all news because all news has some form of bias. You should try to map out your sources to an even spread across the spectrum. Media literacy shouldn’t entail just reading from what you find agreeable. That will inevitably lead to an epistemic bubble.

      I have an even spread across the spectrum. I read antirealist news (left wing), socialist news (center), and even capitalist news (far right). That’s a great diversity of sources.

      Or by “whole spectrum”, did you mean it would be a good idea for me to read Nazi news as well?

        By spectrum I mean what you just described. I’m confused now. Didn’t you say one comment above that you don’t read anything from ground news?

          Wait, really? Ground news has antirealist sources and describes all capitalist sources as extreme right wing? Okay, if that’s true, you’ve changed my mind and ground news is awesome. Can you show me that it’s true?

            I have no idea what you’re arguing for any more. In one comment you say you read across the spectrum but then you follow up with another comment and complain that ground news is not left enough or something. It makes no sense. I don’t know who or what you’re arguing for.

              You weren’t paying attention to which spectrum I described, were you? I was making a snide and witty comment with a light dash of sarcasm. You need to keep up.
