Contrapoints pulled him from the rabbit hole

Alex Winter, director of the new documentary "The YouTube Effect," tells Reason's Nick Gillespie and Zach Weissmueller about the story of a young man who was "de-radicalized" by the YouTube channel Contrapoints and discusses the "rabbit hole" effect.

Dude! That's Alex Winter from Bill & Ted's Bogus Journey. Is Bogus Journey the name of his new documentary?

[earlward]

Caleb was never real to begin with. Show me some of his alt right content before his "conversation".

[RpMcMurphy_]

“Disinformation” 🙄
Speaking of…. Crowder didn’t call for civil war lol.

[jthemagicrobot]

Oof smh Alex's take is if you aren't a commie than you have radical views oof

[mouseutopiadystopia]

Stefan was not bad. His censorship was no different than Alex's censorship. Reason is getting worse and worse every year.

[danstewart]

[1:41] This person should define what he means by "extremism"?

[notme]

Reason becoming less reasonable and libertarian each day... smh

[JasonJrake]

Reason: “and you thought our takes on RFK were poorly researched.”

[chemicalwasted]

Wow this is pure unadulterated propaganda. Reason needs to do a better job of screening their guests. Hopefully they will take the feedback.

[AtaraxiaaixaratA]

The more people like this use the word 'extreme'? The less it means.

[frankvalenzoola]

What is this ridiculous thumbnail? What is happening to this channel?

[Kick_Rocks]

I’m starting to notice a pattern. Anyone else?

[tcorourke]

Good to see Reason and Winter getting roasted in the comment section.

[TheLordblackader]

Wait - isnt this supposed to be a libertarian channel? You literally have someone on boasting about censoring people and dont even push back.

[epithos]

These young kids believing things and old men arguing over the effects of content they've never seen. What is the world coming to?

[diogenes]

I'm done. This is no longer reasonable. I've been holding on because of Reason's legacy, but that is spent. Unsubscribe.

[nathanoliver]

I don’t think our kids are safe so long as they can find reason TV on YouTube radicalizing them

[erikkovacs]

If watching Contrapoints radicalizes does watching Blair White radicalize people?

[Benutzername]

"i got radicalized by jordan peterson but than pigpuncher and all of breadtube deradicalized me" lol
