I think there's two main reasons for the rationals not putting as much effort into their videos

1) The Occam's Razor reason - simple laziness.

2) Because they are so "logical' all they need to convince you is their words, they don't need to use fancy things like editing and graphics, why would humans respond better to a well produced video, just be rational about it!

They're also probably stupid enough that they don't understand how much work it takes to make a good video, and vain enough to believe that their substandard efforts are acceptable.

He's the high-water mark for that, though. Who else rakes in close to that much? And it's only for whatever period of time before tastes change and the pepes move on.

Look at Laci. She was a legit cultural force as a sex educator and probably made way more than that, but now she's had to tap that pepe cash to keep afloat. The thing about making 80 grand a year is that most people who do make it every year. Where will Carl be five years from now?

The challenge is that the left tends to be who supports a healthy and medically contemporary mental health system vs the "lock em' up" mentality, so inevitably we're the ones who will have to help them.

One of the big problems with reacto epistemology is that they see everything in terms of two opposing sides and can't distinguish one"sjw" from another. They see themselves the same way, so that a criticism of Carl is an attack on them and anyone attacking them is responsible for everything anyone opposed to them has ever said or done.

You can see it in Carl's debate with that sociologist where he keeps pressing her to explain some Obama quote because they're both self-described feminists.

Because he's a loving knob and he thrives on "controversy." I'm still pissed at him for doing the whole "You know, I really listened to my critics and I'm going to stop being awful in my videos like yelling rape a whole bunch" thing a couple years back and getting people to believe he was reformed in any way.

The Left forced him to, with their mean bullying and Fake News. When you think about it, its really The Washington Post that's the real sexist here, and not the person who decided to openly state that women are inherently inferior to men. Also, sexism is over -- what about men's rights???
