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.
I’ve no problem with the trans and lefty commentary, I find that stuff fascinating…
Who I miss is Oliver. Abigail is nice, but I identified with Oliver in a lot of ways, very personally. I can’t identify with Abigail. I wish they could have cloned/split into 2 people.
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.
