Like the title says, I'm looking for long video essays that are good for a listen. Any topic is welcome.

    Everything by Prolekult who are incredibly underrated. Their content takes a lot longer to make than anyone else so they get much less visibility.

      they have a good discord too for patrons. and I like how they limit donations to $1/mo per user.

      strong non-grift vibes

        Their intent is to pay themselves a salary and everything over that will be used to pay extra people or other things. This is exactly how leftist "influencers" should operate run so that they don't eventually become petty-bourgeoise with size and success. I don't actually mind the donation amounts, I do think they should offer other tiers even if those tiers are identical just to offer people a visual indication that you can pay more. I don't think intentionally limiting it is sensible as it limits their potential growth. But with that all said I personally consider them the best leftist channel that exists, I just wish there was a lot more of it though I'm aware that the quality is pretty much caused by not churning it out.

          Yeah in terms of giving them more money I've already patronized them on three distinct accounts, so that's an option.

          I think the current necessity of having to fund social change in effect is innately imperfect but the way they are spinning it is interesting.
