I’m 30 and I got 25 minutes into a two hour YouTube video titled “is polyamory queer” where two people pontificate on the question seemingly without even coming up with a definitive answer and I was like fuck dude who gives a shit I’m gonna go play halo like an adult so I did
If I put on a YouTube video and they don't get to the point within 20 minutes, I'm letting my ADHD take the wheel like god intended and getting the fuck out of there
Youtube is a fuck, unironically one of the best Youtubers I ran into so far is Britmonkey, and he's not even a leftist.
Yugopnik, Hakim, Second Thought are pretty good though (The Deprogram podcast is theory in my book, so watch it you libs)
Yes and no because 'queer' is a socially constructed definition. NEXT!
Not really. I been to some parties with the straights most middle class people imagineable
I don't know what that means because most of the gay and lesbian people I know are huge middle class dorks.
Ahh, for the poly community around me the people tend to be very lib, cis, het, white, middle class. Just wine and hipster board games as people
Again, you are just describing the gay and lesbian community where I live, with the addition of sober drag shows and fantastic potluck spreads.
Was it the leftist cooks? They’re great and all but their videos are long and they don’t even talk about food!
nah trans debate lord channel lots of long videos where she debates transphobes and stuff
how do people even keep up with like 50 different streamers and their personal feuds
i'm just gonna read Althusser and become a pile of dust now
Why didn't someone warn me that applying Bordiga to Avatar The Last Airbender would be a waste of time?
that might be interesting if they were struggling to eat an entire lasagna the whole video
Ignoring the conquest of the fire nation in order to focus on overthrowing the Dai Lee and establishing a dictatorship of the proletariat
You either die a breadtuber, or live long enough to see yourself take the grillpill.

i am fully on the grillpill train these days. i also read a book or three but grilling is a must
My eyes glaze over whenever the history book starts describing battles for more than a paragraph.
I despise history books that describe battles or military formations or events without any maps. Like, what is the point? How I supposed to know where the fuck Blenkizewski is and why it’s treacherous when the Red Army crossed into it from Zepvonsk???
Also, biographies that take place in some battle also kinda bore me. Like bro, you’re talking about PTSD and shell shock and pure desperation, and I’m supposed to feel all that through text? Just draw a comic book. It’s supposed to be traumatizing.

Skill issue. Clock 500 more hours in HOI4.
I like the ones that have maps, but the labels on the maps don't correspond to any of the locations mentioned in the text. Like, a formation went from Lapanki to Borozhev on the 20th of June, avoiding Nikipitsa. None of the locations are there.
I like dry ass books about Eastern Front battles. Started off in my teens reading pop history schlock about WWII and slid downhill to present day where I'm slogging my way through Volume 1 (of 4? 5?) Of Glantz's series on Stalingrad. Gimme all the dry operational details with a 100 page appendix full of citations, I love that shit.
No idea why I enjoy that shit tbh. Nerd and a masochist probably.
i like the ones with the pictures. like those angus mcbride osprey type shits
fuck video essays, it's all about finding those obscure channels that upload audiobooks and downloading them with yt-dlp
Every now and then I get this itch to try and engage with politics youtube, if only to try to understand what in the hell other people see in them. And every time I watch them, I think they suck ass, that the people who make the content seem like they suck ass, that the audiences seem like they suck ass, and I become more misanthropic.
From a sheer strategic standpoint, it seems like the worst thing you could do is form a strong association between your politics and the most annoying people and interactions on the internet. It seems guaranteed to lead to burn-out.
Political Youtubers are only good as an entry point like the talkshow hosts that came before them. Jon Stewart was a starting point for a lot of US leftists in the early 2000's and now it's someone like Hasan Piker or whoever else is out there.
I'm subscribed to one politics youtuber and 8 fortnite youtubers. (Mac-good politics guy)
My parents had Fox News on in the background all day while growing up
I have YouTube on all day in the background and I do not see a difference
