“But I’m friends with them” they say, as if that implies they’re nice people.
Yet, it’s those groups who have the biggest influence I’d say because they’re so confident they won’t be affected themselves later down the road.
That is because Youtubers are literally dependend on one of the biggest players on the american capitalist market. They thus have follow the rules and many do not want to risk their livelyhoods.
Taking some superficial education from YouTube is great but it should be a starting point for finding good books about the topics. After all YouTube is first and foremost a source of entertainment.
