Hard to disagree with anything Peter is saying here. Whether or not your leftist views line up with Peter's leftist views, his wider points are:
1. Left-tube is currently operating like a boutique market - with a handful of superstars dominating the conversation/attention.
2. This market, whether it's been created intentionally (e.g. people looking to beat others in a competition) or unintentionally (as a natural consequence of operating in a capitalist system) is not fully compatible with (and in many ways, inherently incompatible with) 'leftist ideas'.
3. Leftistsm by it's very nature, is a collectivist notion, that is concerned with empowering the masses, including (or especially, depending on your leftist lens) those who are abused/marginalised/mistreated/excluded in our current capitalist system. (Obviously questions of identity are relevant here).
4. Part of empowerment involves being given a voice.
5. Smaller left-tubers struggle to gain attention/grow (and therefore lack empowerment/power) for a variety of reasons (lack of resources, knowledge, support, money, equipment, algorithm bias etc). One of those reasons is also the pull/allure of the big left-tubers that dominate the market.
6.
Something should be done about this, to help about this problem. Peter and Angie are doing their part through incubating smaller left-tubers, but that's just a small part of the puzzle.
7. More needs to be done to actually build a movement
and build a healthier network of left-tubers. It shouldn't be about superstars, it should be about hearing from/giving power to others, especially from marginalised backgrounds (who still remain marginalised even in left-tube, as
people have pointed out.
8. Somewhere in here is the idea that while it's good to spread ideas, the left actually has to come together (somehow) to form an actual movement to make changes in the real world. And that cannot happen if people, especially the left-tuber superstars, end up treating left-tube like a market.
9. Some people within Left-tube (apparently) don't see the need to come together to form a movement. This thinking needs to change. Individualistic thinking will not save us.
I think that about covers it? The problem, remains - how to organise a decentralized movement that ideally
shouldn't have a powerful hierarchy / superstars / etc.
Solutions? No idea - there's certainly no silver bullet. But something needs to be done that can turn Left-tube videos with thousands/hundreds of thousands/millions of views into an actual, leftist movement with that actually impacts the world.
