The first thought the petty-bourgeoise breadtuber has on any given topic is "how will this affect my brand?"

This realisation enables you to understand why influencers are fundamentally always going to be a deradicalising force except for the cases where they are self-sacrificial. With that said however there are absolutely no breadtubers I can name who are self-sacrificial in the same way that other names with platforms are like Kneecap, Bobby Vylan, Ms Rachel or others who are actively sacrificing the things they can do and the breadth of their potential audiences for what is right. There are no, NO breadtubers who are sacrificing or doing as much as Ms Rachel, who would not even profess to be anything more than a children's entertainer, let alone an "activist" like these influencer twerps would say they are.

JT was (I believe?) the only one willing to walk away from Nebula over Palestine.

Was it ever confirmed that it was because of Palestine? When it happened it seemed like he and nebula had a business disagreement.

Yeah, I remember he discussed it recently, I believe as a guest on another show. Maybe the May 1 Bad Hasbara, ep 104?

Specifically it was about something he posted immediately after Oct 7. Nebula wanted him to at least partially walk it back, say something both-sids-ish, "condemn Hamas", something along those lines. Seemed like Nebula was pretty afraid and wanted to CYA basically. JT went back and forth with them a bit by email and then decided to leave instead. He made it sound as amicable as possible given the circumstances, but my impression personally was that he was softening the story to some degree, out of professionalism/courtesy (which I recall he has done in discussing other past disagreements as well, eg with CPUSA.)
