Bad YouTuber has bad and evil opinions, what else is not new

TBH I wouldn't expect any YouTuber or streamer to have good opinions or be a good person, but I'm not sure if that's reasonable or whether I'm just prejudiced against things I don't like or understand

@vaporeon_ wow, this hurts

@The_T Oh
Sorry, I forgot you do streaming

@The_T Which probably hurts in a different way... Sorry :(

@The_T I was more thinking of professional streamers where it's their main job

@vaporeon_ @The_T if you did understand Professional Content Creation and Streaming you would continue to distrust most of them, definitely the explicitly political ones

@aescling @The_T Thanks! If you're wondering, this whole post was prompted by various people commenting on [political YouTuber has awful opinions]. Of course she does, that's her job! The Algorithm wouldn't promote a decent person with decent politics that go contrary to what the owners of YouTube etc. want!

@vaporeon_ @The_T i have complex feelings about this. you can’t, say, get away with saying “i don’t condemn hamas”, but making ostensibly pro-palestine videos has objectively done well with the algorithm after october 7 and people have made decent money doing that. i’m not really sure what to make of things like that but i think youtube is aware of the fact that progressive content is a sizable niche and that they can purrofit off of it

@aescling @vaporeon_ @The_T actually FD signifier said he doesn't condemn hamas in his recent video about Palestine
