Yeah, an account with hardly any deviations that's 10 years old, only shows up to scout out people showing that America and Israel funded ISIS and Azov Battalion. We know about you. You're paid to shill for the globalists. Not even worth my time. Not an organic person trying to have a conversation. Fuck off, Globalist.
Fuck off troll.
Uh. Are you sure you want to back up the guy who's telling everyone that the media made up the mass shooting in Charleston?
I'd reply there instead of here, but that guy blocked me.

You are correct that I don't mean to back up the claim that the media made up the shootings. But he denies making the claim, and I don't see it, though I guess he could have edited out. My intention was just to attempt to answer your question of why does someone who doesn't trust anyone trust someone on Youtube. Not to say one should.
Another way for me to put it is to say that when someone believes that they cannot tell when the normal news sources are being truth full, they really have limited options. One of those is going to be to look for people they think are like them, because they look like them, or say things with which they agree. But the less they know, and the less well they can reason, the less they can judge them based on their logic, or coherence to anything but their beliefs. So in a sense, when they trust someone on Youtube, they are trusting themselves.
And while I encourage skepticism of the media, I don't think it is as bad as he does.

Skepticism is fine.
Truth is great.
Disbelieving obvious facts because they're inconvenient is problematic.
Whatever your source for news is, I think a basic need is for them not to be anonymous, or at least for them to be tied to a series of previous claims that you can judge.
These bullshit youtube claims that the shooter in Charleston was hired by Obama, was mind controlled by drugs, or was a "false flag" agent trying to take your guns away would be laughable if so many people didn't believe them.
