There's a reason that guys like Dave Rubin wandered ever more towards the extreme right wing over time - that's where the viewers and money are.

We, as a species, are a horror show. The anti-natalists have a point.
By your reasoning it should be split 50/50. The algorithm creates bubbles on both sides.

If the voting is split and the shows are split why aren't the liberal shows equally as successful as conservative ones? Because nobody wants to listen to a show where they are talked down to.

Pod Save America should have 20 million subscribers, not 2 million.
