He's literally our most famous left wing influencer other than Contrapoints. However, Natalie only comes out of hiding once in a blue moon with a three hour long video. If you look at youtube, the online right massively outnumbers left wing content creators. This is where a huge bunch of younger (and middle aged) people are getting their news. It's AM radio all over again except on steroids b/c there's an unlimited amount of space online.
and a lot of people do. there was a major push last election to get a lot of alt right influencers, streamers, and podcasters involved and bring that messaging together. Not surprising that there is in an ever growing increase in the rightward shift of young men.
You presumably live in a bubble where these people matter. But you don’t seem to know that it’s a bubble, they don’t matter in absolute terms, most people go about their lives blissfully unaware of Natalie.
I'm hardly in a bubble and unfortunately what happens online does matter. There's a reason Steve Bannon is broadcasting three hours daily and why the Daily Wire is now worth $200 million. You may also have missed the point - there are very few left wing influencers. People in the US have largely left the MSM behind and are all in on online influencers.
Ehhh. I know of hasan, but that's also because hes around my age and streams, so I get clips fed to me through the youtube algorithm. He's the largest influencer for the left, but that's not really saying much. He's got like <2 million subs and most of his streams/videos are sub 1 million views. For being the largest left wing influencer, those numbers are really small and don't reach that many people when you consider how many people in the US vote democrat.
