    OP, IDK how you still haven’t taken the hint from all of your posts getting downvoted to oblivion, but people don’t seem to appreciate you posting full episodes of political podcasts on /videos. For me personally the clickbaity titles and armchair expert discussion from people I don’t care about is a real turnoff, and I don’t like spending my time filling my head with politics from internet randoms. Maybe it’s time to change up the content you post. Just a thought.

      People can ignore posts they don’t like or that are different from their way of thinking.

      This is the internet, I think it should be normal by know to expect to see things we might see in our own bubbles.

      I think it is vital to expose people to diverse ideas, even if the posts are downvoted to oblivion.

      Thanks for the feedback!
