Sure there are many youtubers who can start out small and scale up, but scaling up involves making those connections I was talking about before. You’re eventually going to get approached by sponsors. If your channel discusses political topics, you will probably be contacted by people who want to advertise within those topics. The average person cannot achieve the production quality that the bigger channels can.
Sure, but then it’s time to dump that person/channel. Or decide it’s okay and try to “think” around it (say a video game channel will be pushing hardware and games, not that life-changing IMO).
It can be difficult, but there are “good” people doing their best, and what choice do we have? Discuss, cross check, look out for all types of patterns… Not easy when the Kremlin (and others ofc) has a big budget…
Yeah, and even without the bad actors you can feel the need for monetisation fucking things up. It’s a neverending whack a mole game . Stay safe stay sane as they say!

A few content creators and independent news organizations I used to follow turned out to be funded by Russia, so I’m a lot more skeptical now
