Progressives = BAD!

I despise everything you mentioned about those channels, but I find it hard to believe that Progressives, specifically, are the sole party in that mess, or that ALL Progressives participate in it because they are Progressive

Should I be concerned that I'LL suddenly start a YouTube channel so I can do all those awful things?

Ew .... I'll really hate my future AI slop channel ... I'll block myself if that happens

Nevertheless, I'll remain a dedicated Progressive, even without a greedy youtube AI slop channel
