Viewers are flocking to “independent” media that serves up a never-ending stream of anti-Trump content. But this stuff is intellectual poison and may even help the right.

Admittedly I’ve never watched their content and was already calling them mierdas touch simply because I cannot stand the absurdly clickbait cope titles they choose.
“Trump DESTROYED by cat on the street.”
“Republicans plan SMASHED by old lady’s cookies.”
“GOP lawsuit MELTDOWN, it’s OVER”
“Trump gets DEVASTATING news from The Onion!”
Blah blah blah blah blah… And then like EVERY other video/article nothing happens. No one was stopped. No one was devastated. Nothing was gained by us. “They” got away with “it” as usual…

Cohen actually said he’s going to open a 2nd channel with less click baity titles literally today. Idk if that will work, but the idea is if you see something on his regular channel and want to share it with your mouth breathing brain dead uncle, you can share from that channel instead.
Thanks, I guess I’ll give him another shot. I tend to like his content but his titles drive me nuts. Although his re-uploads of the exact same interviews in slightly different videos is also annoying, so hopefully he drops that crap too.

They do it specifically because they is what right leaning folks tend to click on… Shit that makes fun of them and calls then pussies. Get them angry then redirect to trump taking from them personally.
I don’t like that it’s effective but it is.
I liked bryan because be always puts the relevant clip that he’s reacting to up front and uninterrupted, but the clickbait is so awful I can’t even click his stuff anymore. Guess I’ll have to keep listening to Sam “pause it pause it pause it” seder.
they are what you called resistance grifters, on reddit thats what they call them. seen alot of jojo, jef tiedrich being reposted on there, those are the resistance grifters. basically its just like the right wing grifters, but adding “hey were reporting this politics did X and X on this date”.
Blame the YouTube algorithm lmao they want people to click on their videos and giving titles and thumbnails like that are proven over and over to increase traffic to content.
They’re just trying to do a Democratic version of every bog standard right-wing brain rot podcast.
“Newsreader DAZED & BEFUDDLED by hyperbole!“
I had not seen much of MeidasToucg before this election, as as a ‘rest of world member’ the first couple of videos I watched were OK, then it seemed to be more of the same and as you say “Newsreader DAZED & BEFUDDLED by hyperbole!”
