Follow us we are weekly show!

How come Theo Von is assigned right leaning?

I’ll give you a follow new lefty and go with Rote. It’s a pleasure, Rote. Hope you’re having a Grateful kind of day.

The proletariat sees its mostly of “momentarily embarrassed millionaires” that won’t be poor forever. If we don’t educate them on how we got here by where we been then the propaganda can be discounted as mere narratives. The Post Truth Reality we find ourselves demands our shared history to be 1/2

Like, we hear wacky shit from right wing radio and media all the time, but it’s all a performance because they all want to be the next Rush or Tucker. It’s also easy to get guests on the right because they ain’t doing shit except promoting themselves and bootlicking.

Well thank god everyone in the country can be distilled into exactly 2 camps when it comes to what entertainment they consume. I'm sure there are no citizens that watch apolitical content.

I think the problem is liberals aren’t as attracted to that confirmation bias in their news sources. I tried “liberal” media (podcasts, msnbc, etc) but it’s not for me. I don’t want to be outraged, I want to be informed. Very different from the right wing audience.

Besides Shapiro, Rogan, and Owens I’ve never even heard of most of these people/show entities. My media diet is Pro Publica, New Yorker, NPR, late show, John Oliver, and Daily Show

And who's going to fund it? FUCKING AQUAM-

In a world where we need more genuinely rational people, who can vet information sources effectively, try to think pragmatically about matters, and try to base worldviews on facts. David Pakman goes into this category at times, including the books he's written, but we need more.

Didn't H3 just have a huge right wing blowout? It's not that big a bubble to lose, but it's bigger than a lot of other blue bubbles.

Lefties need to accept that people like sports and break into that ecosystem. Nothing makes me disregard someone faster than a nerd that hates on the concept of sports

one theory I have is that the internet/phones have simultaneously destroyed a lot of ways people used to interact in person AND made toxic and inadequate substitutes omnipresent

The right gets funding from places like Russia and Spotify

youtu.be/2GE7wxG8uJ4?...

I think that data misses the overlap between those “right wing” voices. And it omits Call Her Daddy’s 81M subscribers and even someone like Trixie Mattel’s 4M subscribers. Dems just love to doom and gloom!

📌

TYT don't belong on the list of left posters, they are simply grift poster (Cenk and Ana) or ever-so-slightly edgier liberals (John and Brett) or exploited interns trying earnestly in a broken machine.

The Young Turks should not be considered left or even left adjacent anymore. They're at least MAGA curious now.

Every red circle is somewhere between tepid MAGA and hardcore MAGA and like 1/3 of the less numerous “blue” circles couldn’t pass the “Should we elect more or less Democrats?” test

This chart is Adam Friedland show erasure

Soros write hololive the check You will make it back 10x

Carefully researched, thoughtfully edited, crowdfunded passion projects vs. Being paid six figures sitting in front of a camera and releasing some bullshit about how trans kids are eating cats. What was that old saying about a lie, the truth and putting on pants?

It’s pretty easy to shit out rage bait for racist/sexist/-phobic morons.

low-info guy on the left who just talks is not a viable business model in the left-information space because the circular firing squads on the left mean you can't just get on the air and say shit

If you know any of them, tell them about the work we’re doing at @moreperfectunion.bsky.social

I can tell you from experience that even when someone coughs up the tiniest minimal amount of money to support a podcast network or youtube show, they really really hate paying for PR and comms and assume the host should be doing that as part of their role. It doesn't work that way!

A similar thing I was thinking was that conservatives have become so much more comfortable with activist tactics because there's money in being a conservative activist. But among the liberal/left professional crowd, they tend to be more in consulting/pr sort of roles

apropos of this, half of me thinks that (right wing) internet culture has collapsed the distinction between promotion and “content” creation. when i saw trump peddling teslas at the WH, it looked exactly like what he thinks influencers do; the peddling itself is substantive policy.

Gotta fund ‘em.

I think there are big creators who lean left but see how viciously open leftists online are treated and just keep it to themselves. I remember MoistCritikal standing up for trans ppl and got harassed so horridly he withdrew to his old content

Is part of this that a lot of would be “left leaning” podcasts don’t delve into politics at all because it’s a bummer and most leftists use podcasts as escapism and not validation? Like Conan, Smartless, Maron, & myriad others all prob wish Trump was dead but not really the platform of their show.

There's tons of easy money out there, from Russia to Elon, ready to subsidize even the most mid right wing podcasts. Left wingers get paid in criticism

Equally concerning is the fact that the second largest blue circle pivoted right. They’re overestimating the left on here

Even less ideal that their main message is hating the democrats.

It’s a medium that is dominated by weird men. Of course the weird men are first.

Right leaning podcasts are the only form of entertainment for maga folks. Everything else is too woke/dei/whatever. As a result these pods’ audiences appear to dwarf their left leaning contemporaries. But could the lefts greater availability of content factor into the disparity in listeners?

This is the one. When you’re trying to make sure everything you say is at least mostly true, it becomes a lot harder to crank out nonstop content than if you’re making it all up based on your gut or something you think you might have seen on Twitter or something

Yeah but the left reads. Where is that chart?

i can't confirm this but i heard kim dotcom showed tim pool how to juice traffic years and years back .. ad fraud where google looks the other way because advertisers are the ones getting the shaft

Playing dumb is exactly how that 5’2” brain dead unfunny steroid freak piece of subhuman shit Rogan operates and got famous and it’s insane that people trying to usurp him can’t see that.

eggs too. you say “trump take egg” and here comes CorrectMan to tell you about sick chickens. we are simply not allowed to lie for our benefit

Making lefty content takes longer because of actual research largely necessary because of the huge piles and many years of misinformation. Hard to do a quick video about *insert topic here* when the right has been lying about it for 40+ years.

I think we can take H3 off the blue list. While I’m tempted to be snarky about tyt, I think “leaning left” is still fair.

One year away from it being a red circle.

The Breakfast Club??? lmao

I am pretty sure Charlamagne rom the Breakfast Club is an open trump supporter at this point too?

Do they include public radio podcasts in this? NPR and BBC and the like? 99% Invisible, This American Life? I'm old and out of touch, but to me those feel like the OG podcasts people still listen to.

It's hard to keep posting when you actually want to confirm what you put out. It's easy to flood the zone when you have an unending pipeline of sewage.

Beaten him on Apple. He gets far more traffic on YouTube and Spotify. The chart compares totals. Of course some of the people could be duplicates subscribed on multiple platforms, not clear that they addressed that.

I’ll take anti-Trump & Trumpism at this point.

Didn't you used to post a video or two every 6-18 months?

Alright, looks like I'm probably wrong, but also I'm too dumb to find the full list, so who knows.

The Russians will literally pay you for producing it.

One factor might be education polarization. These are video shows. A lot of liberals may prefer text or audio

"but but we're being censored! 😭😭😭" 🙄

📌

It's a lot easier to pull things out of your butt and say whatever than to research and put together a cogent, truthful, meaningful message. Look at how many of the right wingers are just angry white dudes going off in their car.

if """antiwoke""" gaming can be politics adjacent and get counted, so can his content

Adam Conover has released some podcast episodes on YouTube, genuinely addressing the current political events with blunt force, in a way that a lot of voices aren’t right now.

The Right leaning networks are just that...networks, funded often times by fossil fuel oligarchs who pay them to push anti-climate change and other narratives. It's why all RW media says the same shit. They're unified by a grand narrative working towards the same goal(s). The Left...not so much.

Thank you for your answer. I would also say he is right-wing and delusional about Russia and Trump

Trevor Noah has that big of a following?

also says a lot that every one of these seems to be a man; please tell me I am just reading that wrong

We have dudes like Colbert, Jon Stewart, Jon Oliver, Trevor Noah. This shouldn't be hard! We have all stars on our team too.

@amandaseales.bsky.social does her YouTube show Views From AmandaLand M-F, at 10am EST. She is one of the best truth tellers out there.

Y'all need to stop watching "the young Turks" and watch something good. youtu.be/WB-8Z6rBLkc?...

It's easy to be successful when your audience is incredibly willing to be fleeced.

It's hard to maintain quality while making content frequently. It has to become your whole life. A sad state of affairs

A US Centrist will watch Nazis commit genocide against marginalized communities and say "Well both sides have their issues!"

how much of the problem is that the right is anti-intellectual? if the left tries to adopt this position in an attempt to get more views, to what end? how much is it just smelling it’s own farts? does it risk becoming its own version of crazy?
