also a bunch of these are clip channels which don't really seem like they should count
this list seems...poorly constructed
shouldnt "control" be like H3H3 and Pewdiepie?
She's a bit borderline on the ethnostate stuff
They wanted "MSM"
IDK why Big Think is in there though
I haven't heard of half of the "alt-right" people but the one's I have heard of, I don't like
The Alt-Right is red
You can barely see it
what are the onther colors?
oh shit, more channels to check out :^)
a lot of the IDW channels are just clipshit though
>PragerU in IDW ???
also Sargon exists in two spheres
Also, there are so many things to hate about the figures in this paper from a style standpoint. For example, MAKE YOUR FIGURES STAND-ALONE DON'T MAKE ME REFERENCE ANOTHER PART OF THE PAPER TO UNDERSTAND IT!
IDW is blue, Alt lite is green, and control is gray
@micamike45 what are the other colors?
I"m assuming green is alt-lite?
the other issue is that subs != viewers
woops sorry
oh wait that is views
They mostly go off comments
total views though? Not views per video?
I think that's total channel views
that's a metric that massively favours channels that have been around for some time then (and with no bans lol)
if anything the various Sargon channels should be combined into one number, for one
they feel the need to go back a decade for some reason despite these groups not really being a thing pre 2014/2015 and I'd say 2017 for the IDW
They even admit most of the channels that did exist at that point weren't doing political videos yet
Matt was still posting COD rage
IDW is stupid, it changes and honestly it doesn't mean anything, it was an off-handed comment about some people, its not specific genre
They also seem to lump in main stream conservative with IDW
it's an actual intentional joke
by Weinstein
He said he wanted it to sound dumb so people would remember it
when i said stupid, i meant the group they have as the IDW
more like nonsensical than stupid imho
oh yeah
it's just sort of whoever
when really what it actually is, is a small social network
the IDW list they give is like WTF
