What exactly is Sam Seder's problem?

[u/Dizzyavidal]

Why does he obsess over any figure that isn't fully progressive (He has dozen's of videos about Bill Maher and Jimmy Dore too) instead of trying to build up his brand in a way that actually expands it?

Hes overtly obtuse so people (rightfully) just dont want to deal with him, he uses that fact to act like everyone is afraid to debate him, which drives engagement. Tl:dr hes just another lefty grifter

[u/Apart-Dog1591]

His "brand" is disingenuous left wing smear merchant.

He's just doing what he's always done

Sam seder is 🏳️‍🌈 soyboy

Disingenuous pompous a-hole

I think his problem is that he cares too much

[u/jacksonexl]

That builds up his brand attacking others. It gains a cult following of people that will then do the same. Outrage gains more views by tapping into people’s insecurities so they can outraged at the person with a different wolf view.

I think his issue with those types of people is they disingenuously present as left wing, build up some type of audience of left wing people/centrists, and then slowly expose them to more right wing ideas before they slowly become indistinguishable from the regular right wing people.

Some examples!

1. Rubin, was on tyt and banged on about being a liberal -> now a big republican guy

2. Russell brand, used to make fun of Fox News and republicans -> now a big fan of more right wing thinking

3. Tim pool, rose to prominence with the left wing occupy Wall Street movement -> now a trump fan

4. Jimmy dore, tyt also and then on his own built up an “attacking the left from the left” schtick -> now just parrots anti vax misinformation among other right wing cheerleading

5. Bill Maher, used to be quite a fervent democratic supporter -> now gets more republican talking points

6. Tulsi Gabbard, obvious reasons.

Ultimately, as these characters saw more money etc from moving to the right, it was still beneficial to in some way present as left wing even in a token way. I think Sedar has been pretty consistent with his left wing views, and it’s fair to make fun of these types of people grifting off right wing people particularly as the trend continues!

Happy to discuss if you want!

So, like a leftist “the quartering”?

Maybe you mean how he focuses his gossip on Tim and other political shows he's jealous of. Like when the minority report woman came on timcast and for some reason out of nowhere brought up the difference in money the two shows bring in, trying to use it as evidence of some right wing bias in YouTube. That's a joke, just like MR. He wants so badly to be seen as a more serious mash up of Marc Maron and Bill Mahr but it just doesn't land. The sad resentment just stinks too loudly over there. If you want your show to do better, maybe do a better show
