    I wish there was a War on Influencers here in the United States.

    They get away with a lot of shit. Hell, one even doxxed a friend of mine.

    YouTube is the worst as it promotes ultra-right influencers.

    The ostensibly left-wing aren’t much better and repeat some right-wing tropes or just regurgitate the same content, though they don’t do anything outright illegal, afaik
