Kind of a trend, the amount of youtubers who i had loved but their content became generic after gaining popularity is quite a bit, most drastic one being mrwhosetheboss, his uniqueness went down faster than MH27 MH17

Philosophy Tube. After she transitioned, she’s pretty much talked about nothing except trans issues and went more blatantly to the left.
She was always far left, and that fact underpinned pretty much every older video. She has always talked about social and economic issues, and done a damn good job of it.
As a socialist she isn’t really that leftist, left side of the neoliberal consensus for sure.
I thought there was definite leftness there, I feel like it was perhaps more moderate, balanced, and based on facts. But perhaps I just grew up.
Interesting take. I grew up and swung hard left. I’m a union executive and an advocate for voting reform and a universal basic income. My conservative father and I have the odd clash but surprisingly he’s pretty receptive to all this, and I’ve found many conservative folk are when you don’t treat them like they’re stupid.
Well, people don’t of course all grow to the same direction.
I think we old people (in 40+s) generally appreciate when young people passionately achieve something, even if it doesn’t exactly align with our own values.
After she transitioned, she started talking about being trans? The nerve
She can do that, it is 100% her right, and I can understand a celebratory phase. But to me, personally, that quickly becomes uninteresting.
It’s all fine. I can do something else and I’m sure she’ll survive without my ad-blocked views.
I’ve no problem with the trans and lefty commentary, I find that stuff fascinating…
Who is miss is Oliver. Abigail is nice, but I identified with Oliver in a lot of ways. I can’t identify with Abigail. I wish they could have cloned/split into 2 people.
Yeah, I suppose this happened to me as well. She’s a good actor.
Check out the Carefree Wandering vids that use Abigail, coincidentally right before and after her transition, as an example of how philosophy is commodified by influencers, and some of the interesting things around identity and how it impacts the content etc.
This one? https://youtu.be/0RmJO2IwHek
That’s the one!
I don’t think she knows the subject matter enough a lot of the time and is part of this weird commodification of philosophy happening. The political angle never bothered me.
