The Depgrogram guys. I was much more hopeful about them back when they started out, but over time It's become apparent that they're way too afraid to say anything that would scare off their extremely broad "leftist" audience. They've ended up cultivating what seems like a bizarre coalition of ultras, revisionists and U.S libs as a result. I'd say Yugopnik's channel is probably the one that's least affected by this, but overall I feel like all three of them used to be way better individually before they started the podcast.
Yeah. Very nice if you’re new but you outgrow it eventually.
I've also been feeling this lately. That podcast was what originally pushed me to be ML, but over time I have noticed that they avoid taking firm stances on anything too controversial. I think they still have a bit of value for getting people started, but they also have the risk of getting people stuck in a sort of watered-down marxism.
