he may be a nutjob, but the rightwing supports free speech these days, leftwing are the ones who call freedom of speech advocates "extremists"

because free speech exposes the left's lies

Correction

If they were right leaning, Alex Jones wouldn't have been banned. Hunter Avalone, Chris Ray Gun, and most other political Youtubers wouldn't be demonitized or suspended or some shit.

I didn't say the PLATFORM is right leaning

YT in 2015 was full of lefties. The "debunk" videos destroyed them

Or wasn't trying to

I mean the content makers

Tim said it.

Well tbf Tim said the majority aren't leaning anything

How about all the "debunk" videos attacking PragerU, Computing Forever and etc.?

do you have any good ones? 😏

shoot

get me a PragerU debunk that is good

and isn't about religion

But of political ones it appears that they are right leaning. Now my supposition is that "right leaning" basically includes anyone not being gay based on social justice or whatever

Youtube creators are absolutely not right leaning.
The left only sees them as right leaning because anyone right of Stalin as being an Alt Right Extremist.

Or more simply put, not being insane

Based on Tim's "source" within YouTube

It's all I have to go on

I'd say the vast majority of youtubers are centerists, or even center left. But center left is now "basically hitler" according to the rightwing extremists that are the loudest.

Most of them are centrists that lean somewhat right. While we have Tim who's a "social liberal".

Sure

But again, a person from the platform of YouTube would be far left leaning no?

So from YouTube's perspective, most are right leaning. Which is pretty much exactly what I clarified later

not only that, right leaning people are more active on youtube

so it shows on the views/ratings/etc

the common lefty isn't politically active

they usually have nothing to say compared to the MSM

meanwhile the right is positioned as the underdog, against the mainstream, the media, and the public opinion (coz you can't be public about being right wing nowadays)

The realistic bell curve of political stances in modern society and across most platforms squarely puts the global average as slightly left leaning. The problem is, extreme lefties have gone so far that no one with a brain can support the left anymore.

there's also the component of censorship that is interesting. On twitter they censor everyone, on youtube they can only censor creators

so twitter becomes visibly lefty, while on youtube, when they censor creators, the viewers on the right start to consume more right wing content

Reasonably speaking, I'm center-left. But the left is so absurd that I find myself needing to rally around traditionally right-wing outlets because they're the only sane option left.

what I don't get is why lefties that are against the current left aren't more vocal about it

but anyway, the right is quite welcoming to them

if they want to change sides

Trump was a democrat all allong, after all

It's because it's not socially appropriate. If you are against the super-extreme politically correct "but not ALL Muslims are terrorists, therefore we must let ALL Muslims into our country, INCLUDING the terrorists, to prove we're not racist!"... then you're a racist.

then "be the racist"

im racist
