I'm not sure what beating someone like Stelter or Maddow in youtube views is supposed to mean. Someone like Maddow is spreading propaganda on TV and thats what she/he is getting paid for. Youtube is a side gig, while to someone like Fuentes its all there is for him.
I don't know why this is so weirdly hard to understand for people but here we go
Maddow and Stelter are popular, because they are buoyed by the mainstream, and even considering that, their views are low. CNN in general has very bad numbers compared to Fox. If you want a direct comparison on their level, look at Tucker Carlson who absolutely murders them on every single metric and more or less talks about exactly what Nick is, minus the more overt racial stuff. This is the main point I was making, that Nick's views are not extreme or unpopular, and his popularity would be much higher if they weren't actively trying to take him down. And in the realm of even mainstream media, his ideological opponents are the bottom of the pile.
The secondary point being, even in the realm of YouTube views, Nick achieves very impressive organic numbers with zero promotion, zero commercials, and with the platforms actively working against him. On the high end I've seen clips with 100k views, on the CNN low end I see 100K views, which is to say that there is overlap between this so called political pariah and one of the biggest and scummiest mainstream news organizations in America. That matters, for all the reasons I have (multiple times, very simply) explained.
For some reason this turned into someone saying
"well Maddow is richer so Nick will fail forever," and if you end up in a position where you're defending Rachel Maddow's bank account you should probably suck a dick until comatose.
Once again, I am no fan of his show and I do not follow him while I am familiar with him, but again if you're up in here saying Brian Stelter is a winner cause what he does is so cool and popular (while, like I pointed out before, holding televised roundtables about "why aren't they all listening to us?" and publishing an entire book about it) you may be in gaylog territory.
