My tinfoil hat theory is that a large part of it is incels. All the articles that young people are having way less sex than previous generations, etc. Young men are frustrated and instead of doing something productive about it, they start hating women. And hating women is a quick slide to the right side of the political aisle.
If you’ve ever visited the now-banned incel subreddit, it’s a whole bunch of really frustrated young men who blame everyone else for not getting any.
There’s a decent correlation there. There was an article or study out out recently that demonstrated that Republican narratives and pundits overwhelmingly dominate the podcast/streaming space by like a 5:1 ratio, and that a lot of people (for some reason, disproportionately men) who are exposed to podcasts and streaming tend to drift right as they’re exposed to these pundits and narratives.
It kills me that we lost Gen Z to fucking streamers.
Not all of us. Really mostly the men. Talking to a genz woman vs man is like two completely different groups.
This isn’t the first time I’ve heard that. I wonder why things have played out this way.

idk about that. Most people still don’t watch streamers
