It was around that time that all the normie right wingers in the "culture war" sphere on Youtube (like Nerdrotic, Critical Drinker, Az, and the like) started shilling for Picard season 3, that I unsubbed from all of them. Previously, they had been telling people to stay away from Picard, rightfully mocking it with how bad it had ruined star Trek, and pointed out what the writers, producers, and actors had been saying (the usual "fans are racists if they don't like our humiliation ritual slop"), and yet, they all turned on a dime, ready to support "currrent thing", because it injected all manner of "remember when..." and fan service, which they previously had lambasted in other shows which tried to do the same thing, manipulating people to try to bring fans back. Keep in mind, too, that these are the same morons who think we'll win the culture war "when the money runs out", and even though they admitted in their own reviews that the same people who created seasons 1 and 2 were still at the same company making season 3, they were still telling people to consume product.
I felt like I was taking crazy pills seeing them all contradict themselves. When I tried to voice this in the comments, I got dog piled and gaslit, from a community that used to pride itself on being "red pilled".
If grifters were a threat to the system, they wouldn't be allowed to speak. There are many people who've been permanently banned on YouTube for speaking the real damning truth. Any grifter whose income is reliant on the very system they supposedly deteste cannot possibly be an effective critic of it.
I honestly just wish anyone who dislikes the culture war would stop paying grifters any attention. This whole culture around people saying things on the internet and making money off of saying things is part of the whole problem.
The people I listed, I'm pretty sure, do know the verboten subjects. There were several occasions in their live streams where they broached into verboten but relevant topics, began to stray outside the curated boundaries, stopped themselves, and then changed the subject.
This means they should know that the ideas and solutions they're advocating are false. The biggest, is that they still advocate that what we're seeing is due to greed and incompetence. While those do play a part, they're in service to the true motivation, which is malice. Not only are their conversations sticking within the curated confines, their judgments are as well. I'd argue that a lot of red pills can still be dispensed even on censored platforms like Youtube. You can't talk about true causes to problems, but you can talk about all the ancillary effects of those problems, connect the dots, make sound judgments, and refute false information.
However, these grifters are sacrificing accurate discourse for money, truth for greed. Good people don't do that. It means they're untrustworthy. We have enough liars as it is.
Yeah I follow those guys but I don't agree with them 100%. Every now and then Critical will promote some movie that is clearly woke trash simply because it isn't as bad as what we're used to. That's not enough for me (I no longer have time to watch every movie so I can be picky if I want and grrlboss movies are hard next every time now) but everyone is different.
Drinker put out his "review" before season 3 even released. He had a little exchange with the showrunner on twitter.
I don't know what's sadder: getting 'paid' in twitter chats to shill garbage, or shilling garbage for free because senpai noticed you.
I also don't get why people were falling over themselves to praise the S3 showrunner. He was, like, a grip or something on Voyager and everyone was acting like he was the second coming of Ron Moore.
