I used to watch a lot of these clickbait-engagement/grifter types (not Jeremy specifically but channels he often comes on as a guest to promote his coffee) but it's kind of like the younger version of boomers who listen to the TV just to have someone's voice keep them company. In other words closer to the "Friend Simulators" tier. For others it's addiction to the drama and his reactions to it. I can't speak for everyone but I'm pretty sure nobody clicks a Quartering video or even Tim Pool simply to get the latest headlines in audio form. They'll interject their opinions here and there so it's not straight news reading. It's light entertainment.
Thank you for the perspective. I guess I am just coming at it from an alien angle. What you say about boomers and background tv makes sense. But even the stuff boomers half-watch seems superior so long as they are steering away from talk shows and 24/7 MSM news channels.
