BadEmpanada (I know, I know) did a video about one of the channels he's on. He's just a paid host but he still bears responsibility for spreading bullshit. The "apolitical" videos he has is just a Trojan horse for the "muh commie authoritarianism" bs. Ofc leftists won't fall for this crap but once he builds up a certain amount of trust, he becomes highly valued by channels such as the one in the video.
Honestly I think the only "bad" ones are that one guy and his circle and that other guy and his circle, the rest are at most guilty of speaking with unearned confidence on issues they don't really know about.
I know he's not unique, but I hate it when I'm watching a video about Mad Cow Disease and out of nowhere he brings up an Anthrax incident in Russia like 40 years ago as an example of Soviet authoritarianism or whatever. I absolutely loathe the infotainment channels that try to pass off their neoliberal garbage (in Kurzegesagt or however you spell it's case, literally funded by Bill Gates) and/or capitalist realist addled videos and/or basically just parroting the state department as some sort of objective analysis or "just the facts".
And people trust what they say. They're having a real impact. These kinds of videos routinely pull in millions of views; how many people are watching CNN after the orange man is gone?
Obviously leftists have fine tuned bullshit detectors, but what about everyone else?
mood point still, there is commonly held counter points to all of this in English culture, whereas in Spanish culture there is not that many political channels, and capitalist realism is 1 million times worse. So the power this guy has relatively in English youtube is just insignificantly small in comparison

badempanada is good, stop prefacing
I can't be bothered to keep track of which breadtubers are currently considered good or filthy liberal revisionists, just trying to play it safe

Hey you watch what you watch. Aside from a few big exceptions you shouldn't have to worry about what the consensus here is
A man of culture I see
Ah yes the "evilgommunism/chynabad" shit is absolutely there, but it's not that different from any media created by the DW/BBC/whatever.
Anyways, I use it as slop and to feel good about my english cuz he talks really fast

They fall prey, of course

People watch the English channel too
