incredible post, and you really fucking cooked with the “Democratization Versus Corporate Capture” paragraph especially, it drives me mad how many supposed leftists implicitly support IP when they argue about that kind of thing

There’s a huge space for short daily news analysis being ignored.

they tried with a channel called “first thought” but it doesnt perform very well (mostly because it has the same problem that you mentioned, they hesitate to say anything too radical on there for their audience)
