I came into the proving grounds to see if anyone was going to start a thread on
Faraday Speaks who seems to have become the main spokesmen of /r/breadtube. He has even been endorsed by Sempai Contra:

There has been a lot of talk about this guy running an alt-right ruse, or just doing the usual e-grifter racket of picking a partisan line and just spewing it out for wilful paypiggies. The fact he announced he quit his job and was most likely going to start a patreon would support this. Also he only recently made the youtube channel he is uploading to this month:

Really makes ya think... Assuming this guy is even semi-legit, he has to have a reddit account. I'll hold off proposing a thread to see if this guy is exceptional enough in the future to warrant a thread of his own.
Also while you have to take my word on this, I searched "Breadtube" yesterday and what came up was very spare. First channel was just some kids fucking around from a few years ago. I think Kaleb's video was in there, and the rest were videos on literal bread. Now I get a lot of leftwing commentary playlist saying "INTRO TO BREADTUBE" and "BREADTUBE GETTING STARTED."
Archive here. My guess is there was a coordinated effort to get the search algorithm to get "Breadtube" related videos upfront, using playlists to "correct" the algos.
My impression is the majority of people active in /r/breadtube are easily given over to whatever happens in their recommendations. Feed them Shapiro and Prager U, they are MAGApedies and ready to trigger the libs. Throw on Heel Turn livestreams (or what replaced it) and they will be 1488 gas the kikes, race war now types. Now they've moved onto Contra Points and Hbomberguy, and now feel the need to viscerally reject their past programming to prove they've truly taken to the new collective.
I kind of sypathize with these guys, I was into all the millenial culture war stuff myself and have become jaded. However they have not learned the lesson, and instead just switched sides. They would have done better to have kept the Jordan Peterson videos running and filling their recommendations, and maybe they would have cleaned up their rooms and lives instead of seeking out a new pantheon of e-celebs to worship.
One last thing...

ENOUGH. WITH. THE. VAPORWAVE. AESTHETIC.
I thought the alt-right was the only victem of this with their "Fascwave" memes, but apparently they are not the only ones who have not caught onto the fact that vaporwave style was already passe and played out years ago. Its like the calling card of uncreative sperges who spend too much time on the internet.
