At least they got the important point right, that so-called "right wing" views are more popular and effective on You Tube. And Twitter doesn't have quite the same reach or effect. This has them in a tizzy.

Here is Paul Joseph Watson's reaction. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7bnQrajRfTM

The right dominates every forum where people are free to say what they think. The socialists can only prevail where they can repress views against their own.

Is PewDiePie is a extreme right-wingers then every other person on planet Earth is a right winger.

the left basically can’t stand anyone not leftishhly inclined having any margin of success at all.

they needed to destroy us because they can’t compete with us.

The article ends with:

The left can never appropriate the solo rant to camera – it's an inherently authoritarian method of communication. But if the future is video then the left desperately need to find a way to use it. The question is whether the medium can be used in an open, diverse, participatory way.

Stalin and Castro were masters of the "solo rant". Weren't they far enough left for this author?

Interesting. I do sometimes get into watching solo rants to camera on youtube, and it’s just like he says, find one and then you’re off to the races. I just always assumed the left had their own youtube demagogues, and that I just didn’t know who they were.

Remember what an epic failure liberal talk radio (Air America) was? Al Franken was one of their failed hosts.

The most famous instance of far-right views being disseminated on YouTube is PewDiePie

I just asked my 7-year old son if he knew who PewDiePie was.

I’ve noticed this too. Youtube is far more enlightening than watching “the news”. Traditional media, along with anything in print/text, is far more “processed”, it is carefully presented after being thought through and carefully messaged - and is, therefore, just propaganda.

The “amateurish” Youtube videos posted by the average Joe have no such filtering. They’re raw. They’re real. They leave YOU to come to your OWN conclusion.

Just search for “Islam” or “Sweden” or combination, you’ll see so much that NEVER makes it into the broadcast of the MSM. One I found, after searching “Poland march Islam”, shows hundreds of thousands protesting against Islam. It could not be fake. Or try “Norway Islam convention” if you want Muslims to say it from their own mouth - our “extremism” is their normal.

I’ve learned a lot from Youtube.

It’s easy to report the truth and facts.

It’s hard to make shit up and have it fit in an ever changing narrative like Islam is the religion of peace and some girls have penises.

Strawman.
There is a lot of content on YouTube that is not Infowars.
