It's not just political disinformation. Watch a few how to videos on something you know a lot about. You'll find the same wrong information repeated over and over.
All of these 'content creators' are really just 'regurgitationists'.
If you want to know how to do something wrong, watch a you tube tutorial.
They are very similar in that, even if there comments point out the obvious flaws in the information, they will never correct the record. Because they never gave a shit in the first place.
You're not wrong, but I haven't seen these channels actively policing their comments. They're just pushing garbage and playing the algorithm.
These political hacks are actively malicious because logic and reasoning goes against their brand.
