12. What he is is yet another YouTube Influencer.

And that's all he is. He has 300-something thousand subscribers to his YouTube channel. He has other online presences, but never reveals his actual name. I looked for it. It's not there. He's more or less anonymous unless you're willing to hunt his name down. I did. I don't care. He's an old MTV "journalist." Well, I'm an old journalist, too, and was a contributing editor for more than one major Computer Magazines. That's meaningless, though, when it comes to my writings about politics, isn't it?

300-something thousand subscribers on YouTube. Impressive? No, not so much. Theres a middle school girl who plays Bass who has a channel. "Ellen Plays Bass" on YouTube. She has almost 700 thousand subscribers. Then, there's a 30-something woman from Holland who rides her motorcycle all over the world. Her channel has over 3 million subscribers.

Neither of those two women talks about politics of course.

I'm not impressed with "Ohh That's Rich." Whoever that is has a lot of opinions about politics, and talks really fast.

When you post a video on DU, the polite thing to do is to offer a bit of a hint about what DUers will find if they click through to the video. I don't normally bother to click when a poster skips doing that. I did this time, and followed up to see what else I could find, after you insulted another DUer upthread. So, I checked. There was nothing in the video that helped me understand anything except that the video-maker talks very fast and has some opinions. It was not worth my time.

Help your fellow DUers out. Give them some information on videos you post. That'd be great!
