But I am aware it is "their" opinion and I don't swallow it blindly, still it is grounded in actual news happening. I don't care for Ben Meiselas format of MANY short reports a day, but the younger audience prefers that short and sweet format with multiple episodes a day and that's who he is reaching,( and arguablay better than Democrats tradtionally have). He doesn't only post them on YouTube, they are also on TikTiok, Spotify, Amazon Music, podcasts, etc. However you want to access them. Nothing is perfect. You can never please all of the people all of the time. No one has a handle on AI yet, it will probalby get worse before it gets better.
