You know how mainstream media has a narrative they try to push. So does this alt-right media. Any many bitcoiners think they are doing independent 'research' by listening to podcasts/youtubers who are literally the same thing as msnbc, just the other side of the coin.

Putin, trump, other world leaders have figured this out and coopted said media. It was shown that russia was literally paying off many of these podcasters and yet they continue to be quite popular in many circles.
