    This adam guy has gotten so angry and rage focused lately that its really hard to watch any of his videos. It’s toxic level anger.

      I do think there is value in content dunking on others to draw people into leftism, but after a point that audience will move on to more constructive content.

      I hope the guy can pivot to other, more positive, relatively surface level topics and videos, because he could definitely be an entry point into leftist (adjacent?) thought for a lot of people.

        In this video he spent zero time building up any other philosophy or viewpoints, and just found different ways of saying the subjects of his videos were fucking stupid… over, and over, and over with different levels of anger.

        If he is trying to persuade people to be leftist, then this was a miss. If he has a rage filled audience he baits with “outrage” porn for views… fair enough - Though I will say his “analysis” of the subject was seriously flawed, but I don’t even want to enumerate it in this post because the anger was so overpowering.

          I think you’re trying to build him up to be something that he’s not. What he does in his videos is take ideas that he thinks are stupid and makes fun of them. That’s it.

          I’ve watched every Adam Something video over a couple years and occasionally he’ll mention something and I’ll be inspired to look into it further, but for the most part, he just tells you why he thinks something is shit. Especially Elon Musk projects and my favourite being Dubai.

          That said, if you have any channels you could recommend that deliver their message in short, witty videos, please share as I’d be grateful to subscribe.

        “dunking” is really just so the in group can laugh. It doesn’t draw anyone

    I know: I will take this stupid idea and make money making fun of it.

    This kinda content is garbage, just like the content it’s making fun of.

    I should stop whining and just unsub. These videos are lame.

      Aren’t you kinda doing exactly what you’re complaining about?

      Please don’t take this as me trying to be confrontational, it’s not that. Just curiousity.

      Biased against a moronic idea? I don’t quite see what you’re getting at. If he wasn’t biased against this he’d be an idiot. It’s a really stupid plan, like most tech-bro ideas turn out to be

        You can point out that something is a moronic stupid idea without pushing a political agenda while doing so. I went a watched a whole bunch of his other ideas they all have a political bias first then have facts second.
