screw me i'll never get the formatting the original was supposed to be in italics

>Aren't Youtubers with employees they pay technically part of the bourgeoisie?
I would consider them petty bourgeois

They own the memes of production, so yes

>Have video platforms been a net gain for the left wing?
I would say it's a wash. It was intentionally a net gain but then rightoids caught up and tech capitalists rigged the algorithms in favor of reactionary content.

Isn't reactionary content part of human psychology though?

>Aren't Youtubers with employees they pay technically part of the bourgeoisie?
they're small business owner because they still work themselves, so petit bourgeois at best, and in reality even worse than that because they're completely at the whim of the platform they use and depend on, so they don't even own all their means of production (because the distribution is a crucial part of their domain)

>Have video platforms been a net gain for the left wing
hard to say. On one hand, the media concentration in the hands of few superporkies already happened in the old shchool media sphere which completely excluded alternative narratives, so the video platforms do allow alternative voices some space they didnt have anymore, but they're still dependent on those platform goodwill (and we know the algorithms are explicitly loaded against marxists and anti imperialist ideas and favor the current liberal consensus)

>Why does anarchism tend to have little to no videos covering it on video platforms compared to other camps
coz their organization is shit, and their theory as well

>streamers to be the equivalent of politicians
they're not. they're mostly alternative editorialists (the media talking heads indicating the authorized opinions)

>aren't video creators the equivalent of theory
no

No people generally watch what's shoved in front of their eyeballs.
Keep in mind the old internet is dead. Most people don't choose what content they consume anymore, or at least they only choose within a limited range of what the platform provides. They just consume whatever's on their feed (algorithmic slop).

Yes they are.

I meant that in the sense outrage and spectacle create and spark emotional reactions back and forth between people
