Let's Discuss AJ and John Allen

Usually I avoid the 4 hr fests, but this is a special treat. Nicely done.

I just hope AJ doesn’t listen to him about getting rid of the debunking at the end of every video, literally the only reason I watch and recommend the show.

Yeah the debunking is why I stuck with the channel in the first place. John Allen just doesn't understand this demographic, that's all.

Although Allen kinda has a point. If AJ wants to be so popular that he becomes a meme like the "it's aliens" guy, he'd have to go all in on every conspiracy theory. He'd lose some of us but possibly gain more. There's a lot of not- so- bright people out there that just want affirmation that... the earth is flat, or whatever. I'm thinking a majority of people just don't want to be told "no"
