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

If you want, we can create our own IDW right here and now. All we have to do is work on steelmanning and responding more inquisitively than accusatory or in an adversarial context

thats the whole blueprint, and yet people dont understand the structure

I'd say the core IDW is JBP, the Weinstiens, Sam Harris, and Shapiro. Rubin and Rogan are thrown in there but they really only host them. There are people that follow their style but a lot of the channels they list straight up don't or have been doing it longer than them
