I enjoy most of their content and most of them seem like fun and cool people as far as people go, Grant being one of my least favorite for several reasons but still funny sometimes. I think it is less a "leftist for clout" situation at the outset and more like what most radlibs (dem socs, anarchists especially) do which is sincerely want a better world but have a very surface level of theoretical development and will not prioritize that over developing a career and becoming a stable beneficiary of imperialism treat enjoyer. I have high hopes for Beardsley to be the vanguard of dropout employees but I think it is more likely that dropout's continued success will lead them all in the direction of $$

and tbh I am harsh and think calling to vote for kamala is cringe but its a pretty standard and typical position in this country and it isn't surprising that publicly these up and coming celebrities would want to seem like "normal progressives" even if they have deeper more revolutionary desire, hopefully that is the case but I have a lot of doubt about that
