Post the names of youtubers and other internet microcelebs you hate with a burning passion based on vibes alone. I am aware that youtubers are an inherently reactionary group of organisms ^[

A few off the top of my head:
Kurzgesagt is literally a “lets sterilize all africans” gates foundation guy
Is that a real thing?
As soon as I saw Callaghan on that doomscroll podcast I blocked that garbage instantly. No way am I trusting the judgement of a podcast host who invites a known sex pest on. He had already had several guests with really detestable views (Dasha) but someone who admitted to SA shouldn't have a platform.
What is Doomscroll's MO? I keep getting it recommended to me but I never watch it because my podcast backlog is too long as it stands.
It seems like he's a stupidpol guy who wants to reach the kind of people who like Jreg to get them to like social democracy by going against the stereotypical image of a leftist. I gotta say that it was nice at the beginning, the episode with Yung Chomsky was really good. But as it went on it started to acquire more and more of a "we're not like the woke left" vibe (pretty obvious when he invited Dasha, but I never watched that episode).
IIRC he had
on who kind of pushed back on him being so self-serious
GeneralSwitch2Boycott is Based_Ball is Jreg
Jreg went on Doomscroll
anyone else see the implications of this?
i don't even know who Jreg is, but I know that Based_Ball is Jreg
IDK but I do still think adding "the" to the slur filter would be a great bit.
What is Jreg's deal? I've seen some of their videos and they're kinda funny, but he does give me sus vibes even though it's all satire.
He's doing a really good bit IMO, but it also means he's normalizing all the different ideologies he portrays. He seems to have a very young audience and a lot of them claim to be fascists or other far right ideologies, probably due to his influence.
Polcomp brain incarnate. I'm unsure if he actually believes in the political compass or just acts like he does as part of the bit under multiple layers of irony, but the result is the same.
I just think it's funny, yeah polcomp is stupid, but that is the point I think
I'm not casting any aspersions your way. I've been entertained by some of his videos as well.
Citarella’s focus is Literally Teenagers
CW: Amber.
Amber.
it's meta slop
Kurtgefart telling people don't worry catastrophic events that will wipe out most of humanity like a nuclear Holocaust or climate change aren't that bad because stragglers will be left on a broken planet. Happy fucking music playing too. Fuck these people
They used to be literally funded by the German government (their German language channel at least), until... they were not allowed to sell merch, because of public funding.
I could totally see him having a ProJared style fallout
