Summary
Far Left Media Is Dying Because Gen-Z Is Too Conservative. Study after study shows the trend, generation z is becoming conservative and mostly resembles libertarians or moderate Republicans. This is a dramatic shift from Millennials who are overwhelmingly progressive.
What happens then is that these companies cannot grow or attract new readers because young people do not want far left media. The outcome is obvious, these companies are laying people off and collapsing.
While social justice is something most people agree with, the regressive left is too authoritarian and off putting.

| 0:41.0 | is because young people are becoming more conservative. |
| 0:44.3 | That doesn't mean they're becoming conservative, |
| 0:46.4 | just moving away from the far left. |
| 0:48.3 | And I think a great example of this is PewDiePie's fanbase. |
