I've been saying for awhile that they fell in the algorithm not because of suppression, but because only uber-fans will click a 3 hour video, which hurts their engagement and pushes their videos down, and infrequent uploaders get punished in the algorithm.
If they actually cared about spreading their message then they would break those three hour videos into a ten minute video every week. When they were doing that breadtube was dominating the algorithm.
I think that's why that Beau channel blew up so fast. I found the guy at like 25k subs and was surprised because he does a lot of bait and switch titles, and he's had a good track record for deradicalization from what I've seen from his youtube comments. I don't agree with him on everything but I think he's a key segment of any left pipeline.
Agreed. I hate Vaush, but it's why he's been so successful. He streams every day and uploads every day and the algorithim blesses him for it. Back when Philosophy Tube did 5-10 minutes videos every week her channel exploded in like a week and only slowed down when she started doing the long and overly artistic videos.
Breadtubers should all be able to make what they want, but I don't want to see them say their difficult-to-understand, infrequent, and long videos are good propaganda.

I agree in principle, but for awhile that's how these people presented themselves and how they gained popularity.
That said, I am not trying to cancel them or anything. I just think it's a bummer.
One channel that IMO does an excellent job with that is Second Thought.
Each video is 10-20 minutes, has high production value, a clear reason to exist, and makes the case in plain English.
Recent good ones: "The CIA is a Terrorist Organization", and "Why The United States Can't Handle Crises"
Second Thought is great. Still wild how different his old vids are.
