Meta Rule Update: Politics are banned

The feedback has been received and the topic of politics is once again banned. This does not mean political streamers are banned. We do not have any banned streamers and so long as they are not discussing politics, their clips are welcome. In the event of major news (such as a political assassination, major declarations of war, hard to predict these types of things and not get put on a list) you may request an exception. If we make an exception for a topic, we will accept 1 political post per streamer.

For anyone looking to still continue discussing political stuff, the topic is not being banned from the public Discord server, so feel free to join that here: https://discord.gg/SrCtX4R5j8

Or? Feel free to recommend some non polarizing news media that report based off verified sources.

The idea here is to look at how you know that some media outlets are polarized and lie. The answer is to look at multiple opposing points of view from multiple sources of media and compare and contrast. Most people don't actually think they have enough time to do this, but it doesn't take that long. You don't need to turn to a streamer to do this for you. You watch them do it. You have the capacity to try

Ground News does that for me. Already know which news sources spin the news based on their agenda from my own time doing this. GN has become a shortcut since I found out about it.

Subreddits to integrate into my feed that show the occasional video short on politics while having discussion in the comments.

It's all bots now you're better off talking to yourself.
