I know most are not fans of AI, but summarizing Ben Shapiro videos without having to watch them is a pretty good use case

Gemini Video Summary
Here is a summary of the video, broken down into key points:

  • Ben Shapiro's position: The video discusses Ben Shapiro's challenging position, as he tries to balance his disagreements with the Trump administration and the financial requirements of The Daily Wire [00:00].
  • Daily Wire's Financial Issues: The video references a deep dive on YouTube by Jose, which highlights The Daily Wire's financial troubles. These issues are attributed to the company's entertainment ambitions [00:41].
  • Criticism of Trump and Navarro: The video mentions Shapiro's attempt to influence Trump to heed more sensible conservatives and to dismiss Peter Navarro. It criticizes Navarro's trade deficit formula and tariff policies [02:06].
  • Candace Owens and Anti-Semitism: The video touches on Ben Shapiro's past association with Candace Owens, pointing out that he overlooked her anti-Semitic remarks until she criticized Israel [05:15].
  • Trump's behavior: The video also includes a discussion about Donald Trump, referencing his past comments and behavior [08:40].

he overlooked her anti-semitic remarks until she criticized Isreal?

I watch people like Ben Shapiro all the time because I don’t want to exclusively live in my echo chamber and it’s good to challenge your beliefs and staying up to date with all sides.

I prefer the more moderate conservatives but it’s good to watch everything.

Something i am concerned about here on Lemmy is the instant downvoting without discussion of dissenting opinions. Hardly conducive to bringing about a revolution if we won’t even engage with certain people.

Seems like a massive circle jerk at times where we can all feel superior because we have empathy. But i want actual change and not just to seem like I’m progressive.

I agree it's good to subject yourself to other viewpoints but I'm definitely not going to subject myself to actual propaganda

I'll have to take your word for it, I'm not listening to that voice any more than necessary.

I don’t watch Ben videos unless he’s talking about his sister.
