Just seems kinda sus, given his "allowed" rise to fame in times of unprecedented censorship and shadow-banning.
I am not sure how allowed his rise to fame was as he is an independent producer of his own art that does all his own distribution directly. Also Obama got that moniker from the Secret Service and has openly embraced it. But to be honest The USA was formed by a cadre of renegades.
Algorithm manipulation? If the tech giants didn't want his voice to be heard, they'd squelch him like all other independent artists.
Like Bryson Gray he's had to sue multiple times when they took his music down. If he was being amplified he wouldn't be selling CDs literally out of his own living room.
It's interesting though, if you watch any of "CCG" (Conservative Christian Gang) music content (d.cure, topher, tmr, tyson, bryson, etc...) Auto play always pushes tom macdonald. Even though having clicked "not interested" and having "unsubscribed" from him.
Just my personal observation
Maybe... the algorithm still needs to allow for monetary gain by the platform. There are numerous platforms so no one platform can control what is consumed. Their control is limited by how much they are willing to suffer financially for the power they need. And I am pretty sure they have been attempting to squelch him from the moment he first began pointing out the agenda. Risk/reward applies in all things.
But don't you know, anyone who gains any popularity is automatically controlled opposition. /s
On the few times I've kept track of his view numbers on new releases, the views will jump 5-10 thousand every time I check. And then suddenly drop to a virtual standstill for several hours. I am sure they are quashing his numbers. Lot of people suspect him of being a plant, simply because he is so popular. Try to find it in his lyrics, though... Worst case scenario I can think of is him leaving us unprepared for the false messiah.
