I have problems with people who abstained. The hard thing is, how do you change voter behavior?

Wow, I haven't had Philip DeFranco on my mind in a minute, bro. I grew out of him quite fast. He was talking a load of gossip and I just wasn't interested anymore. Must be 10 years since I watched a video.
that may have been the case 10 years ago, now the dude has a news show. It's pretty good for what it is.
That's good but I don't think I'll revisit. 😅
Interesting, I wasn't really a fan of his before but been watching him off and on for the past couple of months. His format must've changed because I wouldn't really consider his video's gossip (I only get his news videos in my feed, not sure if he does others).
Ok, so I was curious and went to his channel and browsed his videos. You're absolutely right it used to be all internet "fame" gossip lol, with maybe a news story sprinkled in here and there. It seems he's decided to shift his stance looking at the last couple of months. I honestly don't mind the gossip sprinkled in because I don't have the energy to keep up with all the influencer drama and I'm usually left confused when I hear about it.
I'll admit I was surprised with realizing that post was from defranco, usually he's way more neutral about his position when reporting on things. He's trying to come off as genuine but then it all falls apart when he describes people yelling and just generally using a negative tone giving his position away.
Yeah, it used to be really bad IMO. I don't know how he is now but what drove me away was a) the subject matter deteriorated very badly, and b) the way he sensationalized every single little event was just too phony for me. It was so obvious that it was an act to get you overly hyped about what he was talking about and to get you to stay on his channel. And if I'm being 💯, I kinda just don't like the way he talks, on top of the other things.
I guess I'm too old by now? I just want straight facts given to me straight. The facts of the world are sensational/upsetting enough as they are without needing a hype man. It just becomes too much, and absurd.
Having said that, I do like a bit of quality humor mixed in with some news and criticism, like Jon Stewart on The Daily Show. That shit is fire. 😆
