    Yeah, it started for me during Covid when I felt like I needed long-form podcasts/streamers in the background for noise while working from home. I think my progression was from The Worst Year Ever -> Chapo Trap House -> It Could Happen Here -> PhilosphyTube -> Contrapoints -> Vaush. TBF, I’ve been a leftist before Youtube existed, probably starting with Chomsky, Einstein’s article, and random pirated documentaries.
