Like many of y'all, I read a fair number of Lefty websites

97. I have to say, though, that there are some SHOCKINGLY AMAZING KILLER

videos under those ridiculously bombastic titles. Adam Mockler and Luke Beasley are two of the creators I like who present good content.

Adam usually presents shorter segments focused on a particular news event or topic vaguely related to the hyperbolic shoutline of the thumbnail. He's part of the Meidas Touch network (all of their videos also sport the annoying all caps, frantic, at best slightly accurate descriptors.)

Luke does this, too, in addition to his daily hourish-long, chatty, amusing live show for his subscribers that is later available for everyone. He reads out viewer comments and replies, and in doing this occasionally responds to complaints about the click-bait thumbnails--his always have his face in an exaggerated OMFG!!! expression--admittung they're silly but necessary for the almigjty algorithm.

I hate that that's true because it's another case of this modern generally hyperbolic, reality-twisting world, of which Felon 47 is the despicable, raging figurehead. But I get that these people understand the YouTube algorithm and see what drives engagement. Unfortunately it's not calm, accurate titles & thumbnails.

We cut the cable long ago & only have regular YouTube (premium to avoid the ads) and came across Luke & Adam's shows/podcasts. Like the Meidas Touch main channel, I avoided them because of the obnoxious thumbnails. But one day, out of curiosity, I took the bait and clicked. I was surprised to find worthwhile content.

I'm lousy at judging ages, but I believe both Adam & Luke are pretty young. Luke has told his age, which is 22, iirc. At the first few protests I attended this year--the first in the middle of a small college town even!--my friends & I were super disappointed that most of the attendees appeared to be Boomers. I saw almost no one who looked below 50. Hooray for the Boomers & everyone who protested, but it was so discouraging that very few of the younger people in town bothered to attend.

Adam Mockler & Luke Beasley, who both see the Pussy-Grabber-in Chief & his cult exactly as horrendous as they are give me hope. They have loads of subscribers & patrons. Seeing them wholeheartedly rejecting the MAGA movement and preaching it for all to see & hear is encouraging at a time when so much is crushingly disheartening.
