I feel like she used to be a darling of the old sub, but that seems to have stopped at some point and I now rarely see her mentioned.

IMO she's never wanted to be shoehorned into being a left wing channel, but not because of limiting growth, but because I think she wants to have the flexibility to address issues that aren't specifically political or otherwise connected to "left" issues. That's just my read on it.
I think that was her excuse, but she never actually made the pivot.
Ironically, the only reason people still watch her is the very thing she didn't want her channel to be.
Someone like Innuendo Studios actually manages to straddle that line. He makes left leaning stuff, then makes something about adventure games, or film criticism.
Contra basically can't talk about anything without it having that left context baggage, I think mainly because she's afraid any change will lose her subs and attention. I'm sure she could make a rad video just about makeup, something she's clearly passionate about. But she doesn't.
