Indoctrinated by Youtube-Connor Foley Assignment 4

When I was in middle school I was really into a certain sphere of Youtubers. They all shared the same general political beliefs and I listened to them because I found them entertaining. As I watched them and became engrossed in their channels, I bought into their political opinions. I was completely "brainwashed", you could say, by the media that I was watching on Youtube. But as I grew up and matured, I started to realize that I didn't actually agree with a lot of the viewpoints of the people I watched. I realized that I was so focused on listening to them because I thought they were funny, that I stopped to really ask myself if I truly grasped what they were saying. Once I started exploring my own political compass, I realized it was a lot more complex than the almost blatant bias being spewed by the Youtubers I used to watch, and as a result I feel like a more unique individual.
