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.

    A lot of breadtube content these days just looks the same to me now. It was fresh and new a couple of years ago but now it just seems that they are finding new ways to deliver the same old message. And this is because the people on breadtube don't grow ideologically, at least the most popular ones. They maintain their social democracy with anti capitalist characteristics as their ideology and dont bother to wander anywhere else for fear of alienating their audience. As a result you have large amounts of people who became more left wing than them now looking at them and cringing because they have grown in their ideological understanding while breadtube has remained the same.
