Yeah, I think I’ve seen nearly all of these (I’m watching Adam Mockler right now. I just watched Secular Talk and The Majority Report in just the past hour. :) I’m well aware of a lot of commentary on Youtube, and honestly, I love it. I’m a cord-cutter going back 20+ years). Although some are offered via podcasts, too, I think if YT decides to cut them off - and a few podcast hosting platforms decide to do the same - they are truly boned.

I honestly wish it was otherwise. People have long grown used to - probably for well over a hundred years - for ads to fund their news. The expectation on the 'net about how information wants to be free has further driven revenues down along with general quality…and people are less and less willing to pay for newspapers.

I wish some other model would emerge. Some gigantic collective maybe operating as a B-corp that did actual hard news, in multiple formats, collecting some nominal fee from watchers, and was NOT beholden to even one corporation and no billionaires. I think it would do a lot to reset this country. I just don’t know that anything like that exists.
