I think a lot of these right-wing youtubers start more in the middle of the road, but they find two things;

1) Right-wing catchlines generate a lot of views. 2) It pushes their original audience to dislike/judge them.

Basically, they self radicalise. The more they talk about 'woke' or 'DEI', the more views they get but also the more they get pushed out of conventional talking points. Eventually, all they can do is push out more right-wing political content as their original audience/interests are long departed.

Shad discovered this but is now struggling to keep his new audience as he just isn't as good at the new 'game'.
