    The biggest reason PragerU is able to get away with its shit is because it remains largely uncontested. Turning it into a "culture war" immediately brings Gravel Institute notoriety and will force PragerU to actually defend their shit instead of just reciting talking points. It is already forcing these twitter drones to say hilarious things in "defense" of PragerU like "two wrongs don't make a right." Also, I don't think that will detract from the value of having short clips to share with people that aren't John Oliver liberalism.

      I really don't see why PragerU would even pay a lick of attention, or why people who might watch a Prager video would ever watch a Gravel video. It's not effective counter-propagandha if we're the only ones who watch it.

        In that regard, yes. It relies on being shared by the unfortunate souls who engage with youtube and facebook seriously. You can make a reasonable argument that those platforms are a lost cause, but I still don't see how taking on PU makes it any less effective.
