Similar improvements for Trump among younger voters were cited in CNN’s 2024 exit polling of more than 22,000 voters. In the last election, Biden beat Trump in this demographic by 23 points. This year, Harris’ lead over Trump among those aged 18 to 29 was 13 points, a 10-point dip in the key demographic.

    I agree, but it doesn’t help that YouTube rewards low effort daily posts and if someone spends a week making a video as opposed to quick 10 minute rants about “the woke in gaming”, they won’t get as much attention by the things YouTube put in place.

    There are leftist content creators that make things that put some Ken Burns documentaries to shame. Engaging, well edited, comedic, time spent crafting the points that educate and joke. Sometimes they get focused in attention, often times they don’t.

    Meanwhile TrumpFan1488 can make more “The DEI in this game will make it go broke! Women ruined Star Wars!” posts every day, and YouTube pays them more and more for constant engagement with the site. YouTube doesn’t care if its costs IQ points to host, they need that ad money!

    Nebula at least pays people who put out quality content. I am curious how many people stopped watching when Nebula was a thing for some content creators. I’m a broke bitch, so streaming service didn’t exactly engage me. I did however still watch when those exclusives when to YouTube.

      Even then, it was better than nothing. “Theory” is very dry, and is menacing to those who have been taught by the current school systems, as they’re being taught that socialism is an “extreme” ideology, and is “probably worse” than nazism, because it killed more people on paper. Also you can just make lower effort videos without the fanfare of Philosophy Tube, or the multi-month research HBomberguy or Shaun does.
