    Never quite understood why people care about this genre of overproduced, drawn out slop. I could read an essay for ten minutes or watch ten hours of Contrapoints or PhilosophyTube or whatever and the former would probably still impart more information.

      For real, who the fuck is the demographic for this? Don't get me wrong, I used to watch Contra videos for a while, but it was back when her videos were less than half an hour long and the focus was more on content rather than aesthetic.
      I don't think there's anything someone that's well read can gain from her videos and if someone's not well read, shouldn't they use breadtube-style videos as a stepping stone instead of using it as the world's worst intellectual crutch? It's not even a crutch, I'll go as far as saying it's a hindrance if one just stays watching these long ass, void of content videos instead of actually studying.

      The only situations I can think of are 1) someone with no hobbies other than politics so they are fine wasting a few hours a week watching these types of videos 2) someone who really refuses to read and is the king/queen of radlibs
