I’ve been meaning to unsubscribe from him for almost a year now, but it’s kind of sad. Believe it or not, Adam Something was the guy who kicked off my radicalization, eventually into a communist. His older videos dunking non techbros and talking about public transportation were eye opening to a younger me, showing how much different the world could be with minor, low tech solutions. I used to watch him all the time which likely gave the algo pets mission to start pushing me more and more leftist content.
He definitely has gone downhill though. His takes on the war in Ukraine are abysmal and I feel like every other post on his community tab is like what’s above. It’s sad because he was a very important piece in forming my politics, but it’s also past time for him to go.
I can relate to liking his former videos, hence the "breadtuber" thing in my post. They're very much non-theory based and very vibes-based, but they were in the right spirit when talking about public transit and so on. I immediately unsubbed and stopped watching any content when he started memeing about and promoting one of these
CW: violence and death
"pay Ukrainian soldiers to write a message in an artillery shell" things.Holy shit I missed that. When was that?
At some point during the first year of the war he started posting such things, I think in the community tab of his second channel "Adam Something Else" although it may have been in the main one, I don't remember very well.
CW: death and murder
He was sharing a video of Ukrainian soldiers writing "memes" on artillery shells and firing them at Russian positions, and you could go to a link he shared to pay and get a video of your message being fired.
