I'm willing to bet TYT + The Resistance probably have more unique listeners than the whole alt right YouTube combined.
They don't count because they promote the same alt-right Russian talking points, are basically owned by Putin through Russia Today and worked constantly all year to elect Trump. Have they even posted any videos denouncing JonTron? Palmer Luckey? Colin Moriarty?

Plus their constant "BOTH SIDES" propaganda:

TYT is big with 3.4 mil subs. They have an advantage as a YT based network of sorts. Pakman left them and gets 400k subs. Rubin at 550k. Jimmy Dore stuck with TYT, but has his own channel at 276k subs.

Here's the subs of the other side: Sargon 728.9k subs, Needledrop (Fantano's music channel) 1.2 million subs, Armoured Skeptic 416k subs, and sh0eonhead is like 500k subs.
I want to address the rest of your post but none of those are right leaning. Also TheNeedleDrop isn't even political at all. The rest of them are just left leaning egalitarians who rejected 90s progressivism like most of the left did and still does. And Sargon is just a misogynist. That's hardly a political position at all and more like a virginity induced disposition.

Looking at views, the anti-Social Studies Warrior crowd still outperforms. Olbermann's The Resistance tops out at 837k views for his most popular video. Sargon's most popular stuff is 1.5 mill plus in views. Jordan Petersons 2 hour lecture on the bible has 2 million views.

TYT has some insane hit counts on videos, but its all their clickbait stuff like "Woman orgasms 300 times" or "Man with largest penis."

So obviously the left needs to make a big lecture on celebrity dick size.

Sargon isn't a misogynist. That's a label by idiots, the same as he's labeled alt-right by idiots. That's the current game. Everything to the sane of TYT is alt-right.

You're just projecting your pet cause I think. I was asking about alt-right, not your typical rationalist or anti-authoritarian-left reactionaries, who have common cause with but are definitely not alt right. Although I think you're right that everything which questions the Narrative seems to be lumped into alt right these days.

But if we used the definition of alt right that I think you and I would probably agree on then I seriously doubt the viewership is anywhere near as high as the left's platform on YouTube.

He still gets 900k views. His Sandler interview is 1.1 million. But coming in second? You guessed it... Frank Stallone.

Well, like I said, actual alt-righters are in the 30k region. I used Millenial Woe because Sargon talked to him/debated him as a rep of the real Alt Right, but even that didn't boost his channel. Real alt-righters have a small audience.

The truth is that Vox/Vice/NYT will freely associate centrist, anti-sjw stuff as alt-right. It was the fucking WSJ that painted PDP as a nazi alt-right sympathizer.

You can call it my pet case, but those larger mainstream sites put a lot of effort into painting what I would guess is normal, average American or Canadian rejection of far left lunacy as extremism. We know these people aren't alt-right, but that doesn't get these sites hits. So they sell their legitimacy out for hits, and that feeds these independent outlets more viewers. There's no money in educating GAF types, only money in shitting on them or appeasing their crazy and getting shat on in the blast zone mockery.

If I was a senator falsely accused of groping one of my constituents, I wouldn't be taking that shit sitting down. 
You realize he wasn't even a senator during all that? He was just a comedian. He didn't even start to run yet.

I wouldn't be the slightest bit surprised if there's a ton of Russian shills on sites like Reset. It would explain a whole hell of a lot :derp

No, I don't recall the WSJ saying he was alt-right or a Nazi sympathizer. It just wrote an article about him using a lot of anti-Semitic and Nazi jokes, and then it included everything he said in response. That sounds exceedingly fair to me.

No, ass-to-mouth, he was a senator at the time. He's talking about the 2010 ass grab.

Why you think that someone that disagrees with of lot of the bullshit that Matty "Slowass" Yeglasass peddles is consider alt-right? Come on dude. These fucks are all funded by right wing leaders because all the rich liberals are about to be taken out for all there sex pesting etc and they were too busy chasing pussy all fucking day.

This culture will never truly get rid of fundamentalism in either side because nobody truly knows how deeply repressed American culture truly is outside of maybe the Japanese dojin folks. Its bottomless. it should scare the world shitless.

Thats why im worried when these repressive campaign ends and there is no traditional way to obey the new rules to prevent all the past transgressions happening again, the first dudes  that go like we dont give a fuck about your punishments will become the new leaders of newer movements to overturn every FUCKING thing dealing with sexuality. The alt-right at least gives consideration to the nuclear family. The next movement will not.

I’ve interviewed for 3 jobs now that all seemed like slam dunks, but after a few days I’ve gotten back almost the exact same response verbatim from them:

“they found someone else who had experience that was more relevant to the role and decided to hire them, instead.”

I’m beginning to be paranoid and suspect my ex-employer could be bad mouthing me when they call. I’ve heard that this isn’t legally possible, but my previously employer was incredibly petty and I wouldn’t put it past him.

It probably never happens then !

Thanks for the advice everyone. It’s definitely a “high-end” job as you say and these interviews are very stressful, lasting around 4 1/2 hours and meeting with various stakeholders. It’s frustrating to have to go through this over and over again and lose out to someone internally, for example. (I’ve since heard from someone who works there that they planned on hiring somebody internally the entire time-so not sure why they put me through this.)

:ego :brazilcry

I would expect people working "high end" jobs (for big bucks I would presume) to have thicker skin and be cognizant of things like the arcane management dance of following due diligence on open bids / applications even if the contractor / hire / promotion is already all but decided on already.

Speaking of jobs... i reckon 99% of Restgaf works low level jobs. There's no way to be this offended by everything and be in upper management, and definitely not executive level. And for sure none of them are in the police force/fire rescue/ maritime/ etc.

Nice try but the VICE article demolished your attempt at gaslighting us:

PewDiePie
57,953,108 subscribers
Quote
The most famous instance of far-right views being disseminated on YouTube is PewDiePie – the site's biggest star, commanding an audience of literally millions of impressionable teenage boys, who for some reason want to watch him play computer games. He was dropped by Disney after it emerged that his videos included antisemitic jokes and Nazi imagery.

What PewDiePie does is very different from the likes of PJW, but this ironic racism can offer us a good example of what happens when these views, prominent in YouTube's ecosystem as they are, become normalised. Such videos are – at least anecdotally – having a measurable effect on how these kids talk about Jews, or the Nazis.

Here's my hypothesis: Twitter is the natural home of the left because Twitter – participatory; open; capable of presenting multiple viewpoints to the reader simultaneously – is well-suited to the expression of left-wing views, which are (to draw however loose a family resemblance between often disparate warring factions) typically somehow egalitarian.

Contemporary right-wing politics, by contrast, is driven largely by the unexamined prejudices and anxieties of (primarily) white men. Any white man who wants to hold on to their prejudices and anxieties is going to have a tough time of it on Twitter – but they're going to have a grand old time standing in front of their wall, alone, ranting.

So the left have the tweet, and the right have the solo rant to camera. This would, in a way, be fine – except that it turns out the solo rant to camera is a vastly better way of converting people than the tweet is.

It bears repeating how bad this article is. It's pretty reflective of the type of journalism that is too busy trying to prove it's claims by any means possible. The whole bit about twitter is just completely divorced from reality, with the explanation being a masturbatory fantasy.

I just can't with this "Youtube = Alt-right, Twitter = left" shit.

People make fun of snowflake culture and they make it so easy for them to. No one is forcing anyone to watch a thing on youtube. You have to go to the site then search for content. It's not like Youtube goes in and has pro-nazi ads on every video. And Twitter being a place for the left? Yeah, they might be right about that, because all twitter does is allow people to pick something popular shit on it and then get their ego stroked by how many people like their shitting. And if they get called on it, they can just say "ban this nazi!" and its done.

I thought that there could be no worse generation for the earth as the baby boomers, I fear that this millennial generation has such little coping skills and ability to work with people that don't agree with them that not only will baby boomers have to continue running things much longer than they would have otherwise, when they finally can't nothing will ever get accomplished.

Theres plenty of genxers but most of them will be gone unable to do shit with this sex pest purge going around, and those that got left behind in the 90's got degraded talent and dont want to come back.

Either The Conservatives come back and fix Hollywood, or its better off Sony, Sofbank, Densu and other Japanese companies run the gambit.

well theres a war in the middle east going bad for saudi...
theres things going on with media deals.
theres some good in the league but they in civil war over a running back who allegedly hurt a becky and who bends a knee or who doesnt.
but yea we only have politics because the state of americas emotions is spiteful but its pcyhe is tapped out and is ready to rage at any slight of hand outside of some dream milieu of perfect six packed men with no brains and soy bois kissing the ground of the ugly ass beckys.
The Japanese Laugh at us, The South Koreans have a stable government and all yall can think about is who is next to go from a dying media landscape and ultimately theocratic political future not unlike the handsmaid tale but in the reverse.

Ridiculous since the Nazis are basically cartoon level evil in the game. Like who are you rooting for?
