How does some wanker making videos of himself qualify as news?
I’d call it “chat” at best.

A mere wanker?

Far from it.

He is right in there with Paul Joseph Watson, Ben Shapiro, Crowder and others.

HG, most of us are not watching TV these days, indeed, hardly turning the big box on.

Instead, we're watching video online, mostly on YouTube, precisely because it's NOT like traditional TV. In the world where anyone can say anything, more useful ideas come out of it. (More lousy ideas, too, but being able to ignore them is a grand thing.)

So what we're looking at is part of the ongoing battle by leftists and the major corporations they control to shut up those they disagree with. The ground of the battle is on YouTube, Twitter, Facebook, and their attempt to stifle voices on those platforms, but also to stifle the ability to get alternatives up and running.

The hosting companies get attacked, the payment companies get attacked, even the credit card companies get into the game. It is unprecedented and hardly "chit-chat". Wake up.

It’s the new thing. Soon as those planes started crashing, someone named Juan Burrito in a hat started recording youtube videos with a selfie stick standing in front on of a plane where he droned on and on about something or other regarding planes. FReepers went “Ooh he’s so dreamy and he’s on youtube thanks for posting!” His youtube channel was named “bankocornholio” (naturally) and had a patreon link, whatever that is but involves giving him lots of money. Get with it, man!
