I get that the people they argue with are degenerates. I just wish they wouldn't roll in the mud with the pigs so much. Might be fun to watch but it really doesn't accomplish anything.
Sometimes you have to meet people where they are in a way they understand to get them to engage.
I mean if you've ever successfully persuaded someone not to do something shameful you first have to make them realize that the act they are doing does in fact bring shame.
Sometimes you can convince the person you're engaged with, but due to the nature of media others see this and it's useful to them for their own discourse.
I rarely find his Whatever appearances to be super beneficial, but often when he debates commentators it is excellent.
If a judgmental attitude bothered you, you wouldn't follow their channel. Their whole channel is built on judgment. It's meant to puff up their fanbase by "owning and pwning" whoever they disagree with. The casting stones business. The first video I ever saw of them was of them doing a hit piece on BrotherAugustine (after they had invited him over to their house, according to him). I recognize that's what they're about and want nothing to do with it, you can call that judgmental, I call it discerning.
You may not be the audience, and again I'd say your lense is to view them that way. Which is totally fine.
Im not bothered by people being judgemental on what they choose to watch or not. Hell, my wife can't watch Will Ferrell movies, but I love me some Ricky Bobby! But you suggested that they get prickly when people bring up their own lives and clutch their pearls.... All I've seen on that is a reaction to someone losing the debate, bringing up spouses and calling them a whore.
I have no ideas about what beef he has with brother Augustine. Through if you sent me the video I'd love to watch.
Most of the people I listen to are pastors. Some of the old school radio personalities, but they're mostly gone now or are fully shilling for Israel. I can't name a single online-only persona that I follow, probably because I see them as grifters first and foremost.
I don't get spiritual guidance from Andrew certainly. He's just like Jay Dyer or E Michael Jones as far as I'm concerned. I agree with them on 90 percent of things, but I don't go to them to spiritual guidance. Are they grifting when the engage in debate with people? I mean EMJ wrote a book called the Jewish revolutionary spirit. If that isn't as sensational as it gets, I dunno what is.
When I think of a grifter in this space I think of Andrew Tate... A guy who made money exploiting men on pay chat webcam sites, is a Muzzie infidel, and prays on weak men with no father figures.
Or Jordan B Peterson. That dude is another example of a grifter. Make your room bucko!
