I disagree. All her fans just seem to stay Libs, now they're just more articulate and aesthetically creative Libs which makes them more annoying.
From my experience, when I was a "baby leftist" aka anti "tankie" lib, what got me into reading was "watching" some of her videos. Later, when I got more knowlegable I started to absolutely despise her and hate her "politics".
But if she has a parasocial relationship with her fans, similar to the one Vaush has then I agree, maybe I just didn't take all of her words for granted like her viewers do
I'd say the people who've stuck around to support her are liberals. It's possible she did radicalize a bunch of people and they're some of the ones dunking on her.
I think a lot of those people were headed that way anyway, and without contra they would have ended up here regardless. If anything she delayed their evolution.
She was pretty good in 2017-2018 (up until the truscum/enbyphobic stuff), but once she started spiraling, god damn.
I remember her having some real influence when she was doing her videos about incels and 4chan and such. She (understandably) didn't want to be the trans "incel-whisperer" and moved on to making whatever it is she makes now.
I definitely got a few people interested in her videos in 2019 or so who were encountering the idea of socialism for the first time. Don't know if they continued beyond her stuff as I don't work with them anymore.
