    I honestly don’t get the appeal of extended Youtube videos.

    While I like quite a few of the people listed up there, I do think that they sometimes want to stroke their egos by making more "prestigious content".

    For example, I don't see somebody watching Shaun's two hours and 20 minutes video about the atomic bombings of Japan, unless they already agreed with it.

    Sometimes, I feel like a lot of Breadtube is like the wise council you see in a sci-fi movie. They (the council) just spend their time discussing trivial topics and end up missing whatever the major conflict is, causing them to get killed.

      Really? They're just making content about what's interesting to them, they don't claim to be doing a revolution with it. And yeah, those videos are mainly watched by people who already have leftist views, but may not know much about a certain topic. I didn't know a lot about the bombings but I watch Shaun whenever he posts something. So he might not have converted me to the left but he educated me a bit.
