I also don’t know why we tip in Canada, they have the minimum wage paid. It’s still not a “living wage”, but the retail worker has the same wage.

I never frame the YouTuber as a factual citation, I specifically framed it as a point of view of one person. OP asked for any criticisms going around.

Not defending the YouTuber here. I’m just replying to the OP asking what critiques are out there, and this was one I came across.

I still think their target audience is the US population, as with many digital products made in Canada. It’s a pattern I’ve seen constantly as a Canadian. Larger consumer base = more money.

There are different versions yes, I see the Canadian version when I go on it. I will argue that the product itself is 100% born out of the polarization and decline of American journalism, and media conglomerates owning new organizations with business interests.

Here’s a video I saw from an Australian YouTuber that voiced his criticisms.

The main 2 critiques I took away from:

• Very American to group things as left and right leaning. We have a political compass for a reason.
• All news orgs are just different special business interests. Especially in the US.

But people have different issues with it. Just one person’s view point.

It does paint a deeper problem with the US news system.

Deliberately used as the “enemy” by the fascist state as scapegoat and distraction. Queer people were also targeted by Nazis.

Get yourself a nice Panasonic one. $150-ish I have one that’s over 10 years old
