One year ago, I was a frequent consumer of American right-wing alternative media, like Dave Rubin, Jordan Peterson, Steven Crowder, Tucker Carlson. I mostly agreed with most of the issues they were talking about. I was concerned about woke cancel culture and the loss of free speech. I also listened to Alan Dershowitz (life-long democrat), Redacted News, Kim Iversen, Glenn Greenwald, Matt Taibbi, Viva Frei and some other non-right-wing sources.

After Al-Aqsa flood on Oct 7 where Hamas successfully executed a well planned military operation in Israel, where I saw a deeply long-term and continually oppressed people finally get a modicum of revenge on the people oppressing them and also strategically capture some hostages (Israel had about 3000 Palestinian hostages at the time, so tit-for-tat) --- because I knew the context well before the event happened --- they (the American right) instead saw horrible terrorist sub-human violent people out-of-the-blue raping, incinerating and cutting heads off of babies (which I couldn't believe, so I watched many hours of videos to see what actually happened, and that was propaganda - the vast majority killed were military).

Anyhow, I couldn't stomach listening to Dave Rubin, Jordan Peterson (who tweeted "Glass Gaza"), Steven Crowder or Alan Dershowitz after that (and many others) despite believing that we should try to listen to all sides, I just couldn't stomach it. And I'm consuming less social media video content overall which is a good thing. I still listen to Tucker Carlson who I haven't heard push the Zionist stuff.
