Screenshot says it. Please recommend alternative Leftist news sources. I am in UK but I read news from anywhere, any language if my browser can access it/translate it.
Here in UK, I have tried The Canary, Novara Media, Byline Times, Morning Star - all have strengths and weaknesses, none are a perfect fit. Still looking for my 'daily paper'.
Thanks!
It advertises on multiple platforms, so it must be evil?
I don't understand this mentality, just because a youtuber is sponsored by a product, the product must be bad/malicious/acting in bad faith.
There are many channels on youtube that aren't morally corrupt or soulless. If a company sponsors a channel on yt, it just means more people become aware of the product. which is the whole point of the sponsorships.
Bad by association. If I already know something and hear about it on yt, fine, whatever. But there are so many bad sponsors out there that it immediately makes me suspect a company if they sponsor videos.
Unfortunately this is true for advertisements/sponsorships everywhere. Not sure if there is a true one size fit all solution for fixing these products other than individual channels actually vetting/checking who pays them money.
There are some good channels that unfortunately just take whatever sponsor deal they get. I ended up using sponsorblock for the most part, and then support those channels I care about on patreon/ko-fi
edit: just changed some phrasing to not make my rambling as rambly
