Leftist streamer Vaush applies his unifying “everything I don’t understand is Epstein shit” thesis to the fediverse.

I was a fan turned hater and he had been accused of being a pedo himself for years (I think I watched him between 2022-24 and it might have been a thing when I started. Yes I am ashamed of it). While I didn’t see any conclusive evidence myself, at this point I believe it’s valid to be deeply suspicious of the guy (also there was sexual harassment stuff that was actually confirmed by him to have happened) and I find it deeply disappointing that he remains as the 2nd biggest YouTube “leftist”
Is he still the 2nd biggest? At this point, I’m convinced that no respectable leftist can get attention on corpo platforms by design. Being angry and toxic is the only way they can succeed in the algorithm, so even well intentioned creators get warped into worse versions of themselves. Debatelords like Vaush and Destiny succeeded because they’re insufferable assholes at their core, so rolling around in the muck was where they were most at home.
Maybe he isn’t the 2nd biggest, I don’t exactly know the numbers, I just remember and think of him being as such, sorry if that’s wrong. Either way, hes got 600k subs (as a side note I hate all political streamers anyway so being #2 in that sphere is a dishonor in my eyes by itself)
