I will never understand how anyone can listen to Theo Von or Lex Fridman without losing thousands of brain cells per second.
They can’t. Which explains the whole manosphere train of thought
Steven Crowder is a one trick pony
Change my mind
I can get him to roll over for you… I’m going to need a bit of cloth and some Bacardi 151
Seems out of date. I think Peterson and Shapiro “fell off.” Didn’t know Trevor Noah was still doing stuff. Don’t know who the fuck Russell Brand’s audience is. I guess basing it off subscriber accounts biases it toward channels/influencers that have existed a long time, and many subscriptions may just be ignored or tied to inactive accounts. I agree the right dominates the online ecosystem, but different influencers dominate now.
They should have gone off of recent viewership numbers instead, I agree.
The young turks turned far right over night once Harris lost.
Last I saw them was them saying the left needs to start treating trans people shittier because my"most Americans are transphobic" and if we ever want to win an election again, we have to be transphobic.
As a trans person myself dating another trans person, where are we supposed to go?
How do you even talk to these people? The left is transphobic, you’re just calling the centre-right the left and stopping there.
Feels like the conversation can go no where because they view the left as just things they don’t agree with
You know every well where they want you to go.
i was going to say, there are some other things on here mislabeled as blue
They go where the money is.
It wasn’t over night. For example, their support for harris was far right in the first place.

Asmongold…you have got to be shitting me. imagine getting your “news” from a guy that used a dead rat as an alarm clock, wipes the blood from his gums on his bedroom wall, used to routinely eat snacks that had maggots in them, and treats drinking water like it’s poison.
A guy who could barely play WoW and left his main account on twitch because making money from viewers on that was “too stressful” proceeds to start an alt channel where he nows grifts the right for money.
I dunno who this person is… But this chart was apparently made my Media Matters according to the credits at the bottom.
All I know of him is he starts showing up on my YouTube if I dont wipe my brwser every few weeks. Haven’t watched anything of his but based off the video titles I’ve seen and his face I don’t see how anyone would want to watch them. He just looks dirty.
I don’t get why people dislike him so much. You don’t have to agree with everything he says, and he presents stuff pretty honestly. If you don’t like it, just don’t watch it
You need to take a hard look at your life, and maybe seek some therapy
Alright buddy
The man is a biohazard that I can smell through the monitor.

I don’t watch him, and neither should you. He’s a con artist. It’s painfully obvious he’s grifting his viewer base with his “hot takes”. He doesn’t present jack shit honestly. Remember when he called the Palestinian people “inferior”? He discovered he could milk people like you for money by saying the most dumb shit and you eat it up like pigs eating shit.
Hm, “newspaper” vs “online influencers”. Can’t newspapers be called “offline influencers”? This is how propaganda works, folks. Or are newspapers all online now too?
What are you saying?
Midas touch surpassed Rogan on some platforms at some point, thankfully.

This chart is only accurate if you’re color blind or don’t understand leftism.
Most of these “left” news sources are right-wing AF: The Young Turks, Trevor Noah, The Breakfast Club (lol)…,
Liberalism =/= Leftism. Liberalism is a right-wing capitalist ideology.
The left-right paradigm is so stupid
People need to be on a team. They don’t really do very well with thinking for themselves or taking issues/problems individually.
They want a wholesale solution and that requires being part of team A or B, one good, other bad. And believing there are no alternatives.
Especially when it’s the people in the top half of the political compass who have always been the problem.

Left snowflakes are treading on me snaek!
Feels weird to include Noah and Carlson but not include Jon Stuart, Stephen Colbert, or John Oliver.
Maybe because Jon Stuart, Stephen Colbert, and John Oliver don’t currently host any “online shows”?
Jon Stewart has a podcast: https://youtube.com/@WeeklyShowPodcast
Well, I guess I’m part of the “problem” then. Haha. I watch the show (although via sources that still don’t “count”), but had no clue he has a podcast.
Is this graph supposed to be useful in any way? It excludes a huge number of voices from the left and also have a bunch of circles without names and just some random 1.1m or 2m NR on them but without any indication of who they represent more than their color.
I don’t understand why bubbles with seemingly random positions was chosen to represent this data.
is whyElmo how could you! How dare you display data on a format that poorly communicated the data! You were supposed to be better than this!
Not sure I trust the methodology here. I would’ve expected shows like The Ezra Klein Show or Pod Save America to be fairly big on the left here (and on the Apple Podcast charts, TEKS is ahead in rank of some that are listed here, PSA not far behind).
The description of the methodology is not very clear. For example, it’s unclear what they consider a “show”, what their search strategy was to arrive at their initial list of shows, and how the raters determined whether a show was leaning left or right (i.e., some of this is described but not in a way that would make it reproducible, and there seems to be some gut feel involved). The exclusion of shows produced by TV stations makes sense but excludes more left- than rightwing sources.
I don’t doubt that right-wing shows have the upper hand in the non-traditional media market and agree this is a problem, but this project may be exaggerating the difference a bit.
Pretty Ezra Klein is a genocidal fascist not a leftist…
pod save

Did something change? Last I knew they were insufferable libs
Same with Ezra Klein, who is representing the enlightened center.
To me, Ezra Klein is a pretty clear example of a left-leaning US political commentator. Not a far-left one, sure, but still one I would firmly expect to show up on the left-leaning side of this list. I know that ratings like this are far from perfect, but the AllSides media bias rating seems to agree (though marked as initial/low confidence): https://www.allsides.com/news-source/ezra-klein
Based on your evaluation, what would be an example of a commentator that leans moderately left (like just left of center) to you?
Ezra Klein is a pretty clear example of a left-leaning US political commentator.
Fascism and genocide are directly opposed to leftism.
what would be an example of a commentator that leans moderately left (like just left of center) to you?
Hasan maybe. Dude is a capitalist creep but does tend to promote some actual leftism.
So many masterdebaters
