They do this all the time, which is why they link to black leftist creators on tiktok. They have blind spots and that one in particular they are quick to own up to

I haven't seen it, except when they promoted CJ, and basically just said, "everything he says is right, if he ever tells me I'm wrong then I'll sit down and shut up and listen and you should too". Which is... a very weird way to go about promoting someone. It doesn't feel organic, it feels like trying way to hard to "I have a black friend". Like when they made a big deal about promoting their one black employee.

And at that point CJ was already going viral on his own. There's lots of tiny creators who would benefit so much from promotion, why promote the viral already popular creator?

She's put out lists of smaller creators. Can't say about recently, but last year she promoted a number of smaller creators repeatedly

That's awesome, that definitely makes me view them more positively and I wish they did that more frequently.
