> But that was then. In recent years, especially around 2024, he has pivoted to something of a ‘grievance peddler’, whose angle is to rant and rave about whatever problems he sees with society for his aggrieved and conspiratorial-leaning audience, whether it’s about the gambling industry, consumer debt, and even the Epstein Files. He hardly even investigates crypto scams anymore. In fact, to milk this new formula to the fullest extent, he created a second channel, Voidzilla, which contains shorter and more frequent videos of the same theme
Coffezilla is by definition a journalist and he is donated by his patreon members to do journalistic tasks not specifically just to crypto.
It's his channel and I actually welcome that he talks about these issues. In fact his 3 part series on CS skins is really such a good video and it actually pre-dated the CS skins price falling which got caught by mainstream media.
One of the reasons I can presume he also went into talking against gambling/raising awareness is the fact that if you watch his videos, we realize just how much predictions markets literally are gambling.
Prediction markets started using crypto/still use crypto to skirt around some laws and they have now gone into literally degenerate gambling and thus linked to crypto.
Coffeezilla/Voidzilla is one of the best journalistic channels on youtube if you are interested in this type of content.
Mrbeast is overrated, not coffeezilla. Anything which raises attention to these dark patterns should be shown in public/ they are still "underrated"
What are some good quality resources like coffeezilla on youtube? I think atrioc talks about general news affairs but I'd be interested to see other good journalistic channels as well.
What would've made a far more insightful post was if you talked about under-rated youtube channels that you know
