Edit for reasoning-I tend to enjoy mean spirited funny stuff sometimes. Creators are typically kind of shitty/immoral people but I still enjoy it. I feel conflicted sometimes but still end up watching and enjoying.

    I’d say for the most part, yes. I am not actively researching bands or authors that come up on lists and other things beyond just “do I think I will like this”. And if it’s, idk how else to phrase it, not “major” grievances, I’ll still likely consume the media. I tend to pirate books then buy them if I enjoyed them, and I pay for YT Premium so the music just comes along with it. However, for the more serious stuff (a la Lost Prophets), they are skipped and removed from libraries. If stuff is brought to my attention about new artists, I’ll also act how I feel accordingly. I don’t take it upon myself to push others to share my view, but I do appreciate when others inform me, so I try to do the same.

    If it’s just humor of creators, I would probably still watch it, but when it skews toward hateful, it becomes less funny. I don’t need an agenda, I want something smart and funny. Humor that is reduced down to slurs or just trolling is not funny. If I was 12, maybe, but those days are (long) gone.
