I've been watching a lot of philosophy tube, and some others, lately. And for the most part I really like them. However I've seen a bit of hate for them here. Am I missing something? Is criticism more directed at their the chunk of their fans who only pay lip service to the ideas they present or is actually a problem with the creators. Edit: Or maybe I miss read everything and this community doesn't have a problem with them at all. Edit 2: Thanks for the responses and other places to look. Like I said I've mostly been watching philosophy tube (who maybe subtly calls for violent uprising but he still does) and just dipping my toes into the others, looks like I'll skip most of the other channels. As far as being radicalized I'm there already, I just really like the presentation of what I've watched so far. And its given me something to send to my brother who has been mildly interested but is pretty damn far from radical.

        He seems like a nice enough guy. Watching him helped me get over the idea of listening to music I enjoy as a "guilty pleasure".

        Yeah. He's also a Breadtube-adjacent pop music reviewer whose schtick going back like 10 years is that you never see his face

          Wait, he and Lindsay are married? I thought he was single and lived in New York, unless it's a long distance marriage or something like that.

            I could be wrong- I know they dated a few years ago at least, so when I saw that photo I assumed that it was them getting married

              According to a wired article her husband is named Nick, and Todd's actual name is either Todd or Ken. So yeah, they're probably not married to each other.

            I actually didn't realize they were married until I saw this post, but I did know they had been dating so I'm assuming that's what we should take from that photo
