    breadtube really had about a 0.5% success rate didn't it?

    same with the chapo-adjacent and copy cat pods, all much more disappointing than the chapos. more radlib, more chauvinist, more succ.

      Breadtube was successful in its initial purpose to make meandering videos on the internet to make fun of the most easily rebuked right wingers. It was always just a spectacle. Sorry to sound pessimistic, but it was always like that.

      Unless the videos or podcasts are one aspect of a broader movement, they're just spectacle. I have slightly higher hopes for the Deprogram guys though. They do stuff.

      I'm told there's a huge amount of genuine and hopeful leftist stuff on the Chinese internet. So we should probably all practice our hanzi.
