Anyone else been hearing a lot about "We just need better messaging!" "We just need a left Joe Rogan!" lately?
About that. There's one reason the right has more social media than the left, with bigger audiences.
Right-wingers pay their creators. End of list.

But making good consistent content is a full time job for multiple people.
Very few left or center-left creators can get to the point where they can afford to make that.
There are other reasons lefty media creators have a hard time staying in the game, but this is the existential one IME. If you can pay your bills, you can overcome most of the other barriers.
They also target gullible people & teach them to be paranoid about new information. That makes it easier to sell them scam supplements, crypto currency, etc.
That's why the right has so many highly-viewed podcasters & social media creators. And it's why they won in '24.
As far as I can tell though, they still don't know what to do about it. Last I heard they were stuck on "Who's gonna pay for it? How do we build the grant programs?" etc.
The reason that the far right are winning elections is because there are no big left wing political parties, not because of podcasts
My point is that we need to eliminate corporate personhood, and citizens United, so that we can ban corporate lying.
The idea that corporations should have human rights is asinine.
If that’s fedposting then so be it.
"give me money" isn't really winning me over
2 parties might not be enough anymore. For all the voices speaking out and not being heard, we need to change something.
Right wing media companies Sinclair and Townsquare Media own the AM/FM propaganda airwaves and therefore the ad revenue to pay their content creators.
I don’t foresee a time when lefties will be glued to the radio listening to content like those Christofascists do.
Of course, to a centrist, the ground between truth and lies is normal and just fine because at least both sides get a voice that way.
That said, I agree, the people doing actual informative work deserve compensation
Anything aimed at systemic changes towards equality and they're out.
REALLY generous.
It’s easier to pay a neutral person to be evil than to be good.
Left wingers are poor and working 2 jobs and thus cannot afford even ten bucks a month despite the fact we know how important it is.
I think the left view causes no one harm, is responsible for its decisions, is comfortable because folk are respected, evolves because it always seeks to be more humane.
Russia, and rubes who buy supplements/ivermectin/gold/pillows from them.
