I never had a problem with your posts tbh.

It's not 5 pages, nor is it an essay in MLA style. Hope I didn't disappoint this time.

What Turkey said. They can
Spoiler
't be compared to the likes of FOX and MSNBC because they're not a legitimate news outlet. They're vloggers doing a show on politics and current events. Their format and approach ultimately don't change that despite them looking for that more professional and credible theme.

And that makes it a lot easier to answer your second question. I think the reason they draw viewers is a sense of belonging and confirmation bias. If you look at them not as a news outlet but as just a political webshow, that becomes a lot more clear. People watch them for the same reason people watch the likes of Alex Jones / Paul Watson, Crowder and Milo whatshisname from Breitbart. They just do so from a progressive rather than conservative point of view. They don't watch these shows to get an objective, neutral and factually accurate analysis of or insight into politics and current events. They watch because they want to fit and feel validated. They want to see someone who looks like he knows what he's talking about in a fancy show on the internet agree with them and confirm their beliefs. Someone who makes a mockery of the people they don't agree with or who takes numbers and figures at face value to draw shallow conclusions or mistake correlation for causation. It's not about getting the whole and truthful big picture or evaluating all sides fairly. It's about validation and getting a feelgood experience over others with money and an audience agreeing with them and painting things in a skewed and lopsided way which confirms their own bias. And that's why I think TYT are popular for the same reason those other guys are, even though they do try to present themselves more as an actual news outlet.

It's not 5 pages, nor is it an essay in MLA style. Hope I didn't disappoint this time.
Wow, you truly put some effort to get the point across. I'm talking essay-levels of explaining simple things. but yeah, I guess I got it the first time you explained it because I had already reached that conclusion.

More so because I'm never in a thread with really long explanations so it doesn't bother me.

My posts in Serious are negligible in comparison to The Flood, so I'm not in threads in Serious to see Flee supposedly give a dictionary response. So when he does, it's not really a bother to me.

Somewhat unrelated, but it's a sad day when fucking FOX of all sources is now the least shitty news outlet on TV.

Don't think I've ever seen a video from them where their conclusions weren't formed from conjecture or straight up false information.
