They are definitely prone to hyperbole and long winded stories with a lot of personal opinions. Not what I want, I am looking for facts and perhaps some interpretation. I notice their videos are getting longer and longer. If I do click on it will be for the first 3 minutes. I prefer to watch Aaron Parnas, Bryan Tyler Cohen, Large Man Abroad and the Damage report. Concise reporting on one subject at a time, Oh and Democracy watch as well. Being Canadian, my favourites are House of El (European) she does an AI one as well to keep up on that front. We have a few really good Canadian youtubers that are great as well.
