Mildly Interesting

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.

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

Steven Crowder is a one trick pony

Change my mind

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

Fun fact:

The Right owns online discussion because the left doesn't support itself or really even engage meaningfully in significant numbers

So when Right posts, they only get flack from some left

When Left posts, they get flack from ALL right AND MOST of the left as well

Since most sites use popularity voting for visibility, this means in every case this gives the right significant more reach

Stop tearing down your leftist fellows, you won't tho

The right has more bots

I get my news from right here. So if I am misinformed: It's y'all's fault! 😝

all the large ones are , as you guessed it funded by putin through his oligarch, through an LLC media company or series of other right wing groups. they are responsible for drawing men into incelism, and to conservatism.

THeo von, was orginally not so shilling, i first saw him an asian youtubers channel now turned maga, surprise! that ALSO hosted russian asset TULSI gabbard on thier show just before the election, luckily these asian Yutz destroyed thier old fanbase for mysogyny(decided to blame everything that caused thier declining channel on a single female employee(she was the sole catalyst after another gossipy asian chimed in) and by extension all the former women on thier channel) and incel. im guessing over pandemic he went right wing, although i always had a suspicion he was a trashy white guy that is right winger, even before the pandemic, but couldnt put my finger on it.

The source has other infographics in case you were more than mildly interested through no fault of your own. https://www.mediamatters.org/google/right-dominates-online-media-ecosystem-seeping-sports-comedy-and-other-supposedly

Seems out of date.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.

It's an interesting dataset, but I do think it's interesting that they're looking at followers versus viewers.

Looking just at YouTube, Joe Rogan has ~20 million YouTube subscribers, but his videos average 0.5 million to 1.3 million views.

I don't know much about the other services, but followers might be inflating their size. It is likely doing so evenly, so the left leaning bubbles should also be smaller.

In the article itself they did look at some of the views where right leaning viewership was nearly double left leaning viewership, so it is still notable, but the breakdown would be interesting.

yeah, almost all the newspapers are owned by big nazi oligarchs

TYT not a fan
