    It’s not just all you or all youtube. Both matter. It’s harmfully reductionist to act like it, not both.

      Both really don’t matter, since adults have a right to chose to consume any content they’d like.

      If your grandma finds Q fascinating, that’s on your grandma

          No it isn’t. Every demand will find a seller. That’s just how reality works.

          The overwhelming majority of “radical” content creators are just riding a grift train.

              No. Snake oil salesmen are not to blame for people craving snake oil. They’re merely filling the demand gap
