I sort of took a glance into the normie world because I noticed that Count Dankula etc. were getting a bit of headway mainstream wise because they had been invited on Piers Morgan's weird new show. I know the interviews were a bit longer in some cases and they had been chopped up for the internet but it really is telling how bad television is when you get spoiled by podcasts and such that easily go 2+ hours long depending.
I'm the first to mock breadtube content, but even breadtube content is better than television because at least even if it is just several hours of bickering people have the time to get the point across and some autist can clip the relevant points being made amongst all the drivel.
Another thing that's very frustrating about watching those kinds of television 'debates' too because you know that journalists are constantly fucking with things and asking questions that can't be easily answered within that timeframe so they ask something deliberately controversial they know can be misinterpreted within a 5 second response so no matter who it is they'll get cut off with the old "Sorry we don't have time for that response" what a bunch of dicks and they know what they're doing.
Despite how desperately they're trying to control it, it's a good thing the internet exists and is very difficult to control. Otherwise we'd all be pretty fucked just in terms of getting any kind of decent information and networking. I mean Rumble was advertising the RNC debates and I really don't understand why anyone would even bother watching those yet it seems there are some people who still do and moderated debated like that are even worse.
What do you define as “breadtube”? I thought ‘breadtubers’ were just lefty/communist political commentators on YouTube like contrapoints, vaush, big Joel etc. When I hear you bring it up I’m not sure we’re thinking about the same thing.
Definitely that, but it seems as though the term as kind of expanded a bit or maybe I did that by myself by accident. For me the breadtube sphere partially consists of types like Fresh and Fit who spend endless hours on low hanging fruit like demented feminists and OnlyFans prostitutes trying to pass themselves off as normal people. Perhaps it's the zoomers somewhat catching onto leftism in general so that kind of content has received a bump again lately, but this has been a bit of a growing trend even on normietube like with Andrew Tate as an example. Even if it's something I generally don't like as content I will keep an eye on what people are looking at overall.
Fresh and Fit have absolutely nothing to do with ‘breadtube’ they are squarely in the Red Pill/ Manosphere category. You are 100% misusing the term by applying it to them and similar content; it specifically applies to communist influenced creators, and the name comes from Kropotkin’s ‘The Conquest of Bread.
That's fair, but depending on who they are I find them just as cringey as the leftists at times. I don't even necessarily outright hate the people in question or regard them as leftist however they do produce similar type of commentary/debate style content that goes on for 2+ hours. I don't really know what to refer to it as other than breadtube because of that.
