They release like two or three feature length videos a year with titles like "What Scooby Doo: Cyberchase has to say about parasocial relationships"

    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.
