you are expecting a partisan to not be partisan ?
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Gritter is a hustler. Opportunist. Scam artist
Viva to me is a guy who interviews Barnes
yes I know what Grifter _means_
@realz. Basically a Con Man.
I mean what does it mean _here_
Not saying anyone is that but that's what a grifter is.
who is Viva scamming, why do you assume he is in bad faith (only taking his opinions as an opportunist would) etc.
Lol yes. Con man. I'm always just missing something perfect
In the context of a YouTuber Someone who takes advantage of a particular audience for monetizing , placates to them and provides unbalanced commentary, while pretending to be. Like Tim pool. I don’t believe he actually believes what he says but orchestrates it for a particular audience @realz
I think we should personally drop this topic of conversation.
what is he inconsistent about, and why do you think a partisan should target their rage evenly
mmmk, I don't think he is taking positions he doesn't believe in
and we are literally bringing this up in context of him losing a portion of his audience
I think 'grifter' in this context means exploiting credulous people with things to which you know they will respond well, as opposed to what you believe or can support sufficiently to yourself
Inconsistent in outrage. I’m fine with going after cnn but he wouldn’t dare go after any right wing news (he knows his audience likes) with the same intensity and outrage. Even though the gripe he has occurs there as well @realz
To a greater degree in some cases
meh I don't expect partisans to go after their own side
_I_ go after CNN
I don't talk about Fox
am I a grifter?
@realz oh no I am not talking about in the past day or so with powell. I mean in the past year
Robert doesn't do this for the money, if he did, he'd be more inclined to approach in a more biased fashion like you find with other commentators. He knows that his method of approaching things is not the one that will lead to the quickest buck/fastest growth.
@realz I do if they claim to be Non political and say they strive to be objective
But a lot of these other folks on youtube are using the platform to make their primary income.
Their use of the platform is simply different.
I mean if questioned I will agree to that, but I don't spend most my time criticizing the right
most partisans don't
My conclusion is if he went after people and news organizations his audience liked he wouldn’t be able to take advantage of those people for viewership
but he is a partisan, why should he do that
IMO there is no greater or loyal fan than a trump supporter
mmmk
and that guy was in here yesterday and thought his truth was The Truth
people believe all sorts of things about their own opinions
lol
If you can get that market, which isn’t hard. You will have a loyal fan base that has ever been
well I watch Frei for Barnes
I thought about my self
