If you just start sending your friends leftist content on platforms like Facebook, YouTube, etc and they actually watch or engage with it, wouldn't the recommendation algorithms on these platforms eventually begin showing them that sort of content on its own? I mean, if that's the case, nothing is stopping us from spamming friends and family with leftist content until the algorithms do the rest for us, right? I assume this is how a lot of us ended up here, I know it's how I did for sure, haha. 🧐🧐

Not to sound like I'm trying to take the lazy or easy approach to radicalizing people, but the left is no where near as organized as the right and things are going to get a lot worse at this rate. Just trying to think of a logical and efficient way to use these tools to our advantage to rapidly send people down the lib to left pipeline, lol.

I'm not saying use ChapoChat as a leftist propaganda network... Unless... 😳👉👈

    This is diabolical but it has to be radical enough to avoid breadtubers being in the recommendations. Breadtubers are not included in the radical content recommendations so as long as you're showing people cool shit like Parenti mixes and Hakim and Bayarea415 you're probably in a good spot.

      Eh. I think breadtubers are just a stepping stone down the pipeline. They build rapport with uninformed libs by having a lot of shit takes in common with them, thus serving as a comforting gateway to leftism, in my opinion. I started with ContraPoints and now I'm here without shit takes, only open-mindedness and willingness to learn, hahaha.

        What's between Contra and Chapo though?

        Obviously Hakim and Bayarea are actually FURTHER down the pipeline than ChapoChat and CTH. My concern with the Breadtubers is that there's almost nothing that exists between the Breadtubers and where we are.

        This is a problem because it means the only thing that we have going for us to pipeline them our way is being way less uptight and way more fun. Often this means we're only discovered through sheer luck.

        The other side of this is that Chapo and CTH are ANGRILY opposed within breadtuber communities. Those communities hate and villify us on the regular, actively taking part in trying to NOT pipeline people further down the line. This is in contrast with what we do as a community because I'm actually really happy to tell people they should check out things that are deeper, like lemmygrad and so on. MTC was the next step from CTH for example and I'd encourage people to go to it even if I spent the bulk of my time on the subreddit.

        Breadtube is only accidentally part of the pipeline and it does everything it possibly can to stop people from going any deeper. It feels opposed to everything to its left, they are not working in solidarity with the movement.
