I think that was his name. He just popped up on my YouTube recommended videos with an hour long video replying to a Hakim video about Ukraine. Not sure if it's countering or adding onto.

The only people who pop up on my recommended list tend to be pretty cool because my algorithm has got me pretty figured out (it's how I discovered Hakim and other leftist video essayists in the first place, and recently revolutionaryth0t who I think has good potential), so normally I'd just give him a chance but that's a long video to watch for a new content creator, and if he sucks I don't want to discover by going through all his videos in case the algorithm thinks that means I like him lol.

Has the algorithm kept up its good streak or messed up this time? I don't mind watching if he's a lib, as long as he has more good takes than bad takes, or is otherwise educating and entertaining enough (like I'd categorize Wisecrack or Some More News, or lots of non-political channels).

Countering. Algo fucked up. He's a weirdo zionist, destiny/vaush orbiter iirc. BadEmpanada's done some bits dunking on him ages ago I think. (BE is a bit of a weirdo himself but not nearly as bad lmao)

He sucks and is bad. Big destiny fan, big liberal zionist

[–] SevenSkalls@hexbear.net 11 points 2 months ago

Welp that sucks. Even liberals are starting to realize how toxic Zionism is.
