I don't understand why

anyone would think that I might be interested in what a barely post pubescent person with a bad haircut has to say about what some idiot said on Fox news? Or for that matter what some bearded dude in a basement with survival food on the shelf behind him thinks about anything?

Is there something here that I'm missing that somehow imbues these two or for that matter any number of others with some superior insight that I don't myself possess?

producing them on their iPhones in their parents' basements, and which have clickbaity headlines with certain words like DESTROYED and HUMILIATED in all-caps, and which typically consist of a 30-second clip followed by twenty minutes or so of repetitive bloviating that adds absolutely nothing to anyone's understanding of the clip but which the producer hopes will reward him with clicks and likes so maybe he can grow up to be an influencer, whatever that is?

droning on and on. If they want to be an influencer they really should try harder. No chance they're going to say anything interesting, so eat during the whole thing, make it a political mukbang, give make-up tips, show us your pets. Something.
