I watch more perfect union and the good liars. They're not good at pointing out major issues? They bring receipts.

    I have never heard of these channels. But if they are on YouTube to generate money, then they must grow views, and thus they're subject to the algorithm. And thus you are getting your information filtered through the algorithms preferences.

    It's not censorship, but it's a constant force that pushes content creators into one direction, and if you're somewhat informed I don't need to line out what direction that is. It's just another algorithm based anti social media.

    Quite a low standard you have there, and it shows that you are not prepared to defend your mind against the algorithm.

    The alt right influencer network has a huge gray zone, and the algorithm presents you those influencers that match your current level of world view. And there they sow doubt, little "insights" at a time, constantly dragging your perception into one direction.

    Trumps time is mostly over, the main alt right influencers already prepare for the time after.

    Ignore pretty much anything farming related from More Perfect Union - they tend to provide farm lobby propaganda without actually fact checking it. I've become much more sceptical of their other coverage based on how bad that segment of it seems to be.

    Do you have insight on farming issues to provide an example? Whenever we near election dates in the US we know farm lobbies always push for bailouts that usually end up benefiting corporations instead of farmers. I’m sure there are issues that exist but it’s hard to sort through what’s legit and what’s a money grab. I thought MPU was doing a good job but 🤷🏻‍♀️

    The farming corporations are mostly family farms. The average small farmer is a millionaire with a six figure income. I recommend looking at the youtube channels "Farm to Taber" and "Farming While Beige". I haven't found where the former talked about the More Perfect Union videos yet, but the latter posted the following:
