    The Best: Lindsay Ellis - always on point with her analysis, never cared for theater til I came across her channel

    Underrated: Innuendo Studios - the alt-right playbook is essential watching

    Overrated: Philosophy Tube - (I can hear the hisses) just cannot sit through any of the videos, too much fluff

        omg yes I use to tuned in to several because they were informative and entertaining, now it's all focused on navel-gazing drama, i don't envy the psychic toll it must take.

        ughh oh my god, yes! i thought i was alone in this but the longwinded theatrics with artsy lighting just do not interest me at all. gimme well-paced, structured, watchable information over mood any day of the week

      Yeah, PhilosophyTube and Contrapoints both are just hard to sit through at this point.

      I loved their old stuff where it was just good old person talking to a character with occasional fun editing but now it’s like 50 minutes worth of performance art and 5 minutes worth of content

      It’s not for me.

      The arsonist bit was good though. Agree that every leftist absolutely should watch the whole alt-right playbook series. Along with The War On Everyone

      I don't know why you wouldn't want to have 45 uninterrupted minutes of staring at Oliver's gorgeous face

      Does Lindsay Ellis count as a breadtuber? She's a media critic, and politics only comes into her videos when it's relevant to whatever movie she's critiquing.

        I feel like in most videos she’s pretty forward with left wing thought so I’d personally count her. Though her videos aren’t as political as most “breadtubers”
