    Obviously mr beast is just doing this for tax evasion and to make sweet YouTube stacks off of click bait but I do see the idea of using YouTube to monotise your charity or mutual aid group in able to get more funding and I wonder if any leftists could use it, might as well manipulate parts of capitalism to help people in need while you work to abolish it right?

        Mr Beast has 59 Million subscribers. According to socialblade, in the last 30 days his videos have had 630 million views.

        So, just to underscore your point, I'm beyond certain that if you took not only breadtube but also those leftists too principled to associate with breadtube and all other vaguely anticapitalist Youtubers as one that would still be but a fraction of Mr. Beast's relevancy.

        How would leftists even begin to insert their ideology into the context of extremely popular YouTube content. It'd be one thing if it was all like children's educational cartoons, because you can definitely slip ideology into those. But I don't see how you can really do the same when your show is a bunch of weird cunts living in a mansion, the most popular genre of YouTube video*.

        *disclaimer: I don't know what's popular on YouTube. I watch old vine compliations and 18 hour long Marxist Leninist essays relitigating the history of the USSR.
