Yep and their little "Late night chats" on youtube are probably 1. a way for them to crowd-source the pulse of our community, what we are currently thinking, etc 2. a way for them to collect YouTube accounts of us who don't make content but comment 3. a way for them to inject things into the conversation bc their shit gets screen capd and shared 4. a huge waste of time for us to spend

and they even have captured the attention of some legit "influencers" / researchers like Liz Crokin and X22
