• Podcasts were only indirectly relevant. IMO, it was the non-stop, algorithmically driven, reinforcement of the echo chambers we all step into on social media. Young men of any demo were not going to see clips of Kamala Harris in between clips of sports, cars, fantasy football and girls. Even if she did Rogan, TheoVonn, NelkBoys, etc Trump clips would make it in that mix SOME, because the topics like the assasination attempts and things guys were more interested in
