If people watch it, it's maybe because they enjoy watching it, just like you enjoy watching TV programmes and movies. If they're gullible, then surely we all are?
Where did I say they weren't allowed?

They're making money from spreading misinformation and appealing to people's wilful ignorance. They're entitled to do so and I'm entitled to judge the **** out of them and the people who watch their ****.

Entertainment is entertainment, Marvel films aren't spreading misinformation about political matters and influencing how people vote. Misinformation is misinformation. making it out to be entertainment thus acknowledging it to be bull**** yet absorbing what's said in those videos as fact although you know it's not is grim.

Believing bull**** about reality is not comparable to being entertained by a piece of fiction.
