This chart is only accurate if you're color blind or don't understand leftism.

Most of these "left" news sources are right-wing AF: The Young Turks, Trevor Noah, The Breakfast Club (lol)...,

Liberalism =/= Leftism. Liberalism is a right-wing capitalist ideology.

The right has more bots

This would be more representative as a venn diagram because a lot of those numbers overlap.

Midas touch surpassed Rogan on some platforms at some point, thankfully.

Since there's no colour legend, I was really confused by this since blue means conservative and red means liberal in Canada.

I cannot imagine a sane moment in my life were I'd be completely OK listening to Russell Brand's dog shit commentary for over an hour.

Yes. Because educated individuals dont listen to talking heads.

Seems out of date. I think Peterson and Shapiro "fell off." Didn't know Trevor Noah was still doing stuff. Don't know who the fuck Russell Brand's audience is. I guess basing it off subscriber accounts biases it toward channels/influencers that have existed a long time, and many subscriptions may just be ignored or tied to inactive accounts. I agree the right dominates the online ecosystem, but different influencers dominate now.

I don't listen to or follow any of the sources on the chart, and I don't like politics. That said, as a passerby I thought it was an interesting chart. One thing I thought about, the legacy media that is highly manipulated in my opinion is dominated by so-called left and the pseudo independent in my opinion voices in red on the chart are dominated by so-called right.

I believe most people no longer trust the legacy media and are turning to just about anything else as an alternative.

I think most people mistakenly think that some of these voices in red are independent of or not affected by persuasion, coercion, other. Some of these voices in red are also potentially literal government agents.

All that said, I also find it interesting that there are not more blue dots: pseudo independent so-called left voices.

Does this mean that the so-called left audience is captive to the legacy media? And/or does this mean that the so-called left audience does not trust independent voices?

I will check some of the comments to the original post to see if anybody has thoughts on that.

Anyways, thanks for your time.

This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.

This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?

Just post some stuff and don't spam.
