      The reason is it has so few subscribers it's content has advocacy aspects that cross right/left boundries. In other words, people of the left turn their backs on it because it often serves up content that can be construed as favorable to the right. People on the right just as often see content that appears to favors the left. Hence, both cohorts view WTI as, at best, an unreliable ally and, more likely, an advocate of the other side.
      That's one important reason their channel has not grown. Another is WTI doesn't publish with sufficient frequency to develop a loyal subscriber base.

      @Eyes Open My only problem with it is that it is usually targeted at the emotions, is unpatriotic, designed to incite a billigerant response and has no basis in truth. But I still wouldn't lobby to restrict their right to express an opinion...I'd just destroy their argument with facts. Of course their response is to restrict my right to do exactly that.

    • @JohnSmith-vb6jx
      @JohnSmith-vb6jx 4 роки тому +1

      @Eyes Open Yep, all their responses are programmed in. Nothing has been acheived by their own critical thinking so if what they are being confronted with hasn't been written into their software they default to either anger or bewilderment.

    This Channel is so refreshing. It’s coming to the point where I have to actively avoid so much on the internet because it’s just so full of negativity, and I end up feeling depressed. But it’s nice to know I’m not going crazy, and there are actually logical people out there who feel like me. I’ve realized I am definitely not alone, in fact far from it. Then I have hope that we can actually pull out of this depressing self loathing time as a nation. Together. Our ancestors have done so much for us to bring it all down like this. Anyways, my wife and I appreciate you guys and gals so much! Hope you realize that. Keep the “rational” coming! 🤗

UA-cam has bumped you off my list again. Thank you for doing this!! Unfortunately people are willingly given up their "free speech" to "virtue signal " & others because they are afraid if they don't, they will be accused of being a bad person & could face financial consequences.

  • @stevedoe1630
    @stevedoe1630 4 роки тому +2

    I always cringed at the term “hate speech” or “hate crimes” because I truly don’t think “hate” has to be involved. Example: Someone makes an offensive joke about people with a certain social preference...the joker may be insensitive, may be ignorant, but doesn’t have to hate the group to make a joke. Similar for a crime.
    So the action is inappropriate. Crime, offensive joke, etc. However, using the “hate” prefix adds an unfair/unjust assessment of the intention behind the action. Maybe hate was involved, but maybe not.

      Thank you for your concern. What happened was we mistakenly uploaded versions of the video with poor audio quality. Once we realized our mistake, we set the others to private and re-uploaded the first of the videos. It was late, so we will be uploading the second today. Sorry for the confusion. We hope you enjoy them. (And you don't have to pay to watch.)

Love the fact that someone on UA-cam can get answers straight from the horse’s mouth! The interactions between the content creators and the viewers, is what makes this platform great! You can’t say the same about national TV networks, keep up the great work. Lastly, I just want to say my favorite video that I’ve watched on your channel is the SJW psychiatrist!

    Surprisingly nuanced discussion regarding the subject matter.
