    It is also like the TSA theater we now engage in now. Some idiot failed to light a shoe bomb and now we have to all take our shoes off. There was also a guy who succeeded in lighting his underwear, which failed to ignite the plane's fuel, but we don't all show our underwear. That is because they KNOW we will revolt at that level. Government theater to gain compliance. Good episode!

    When a new crisis strikes, it is impossible for anyone to know exactly how it will play out. However, no one wants to feel helpless, so they grasp on to charismatic figures with assertive and practical solutions, even if those solutions become ridiculous in hindsight.

    I have an idea or theory on your channels recent popularity. I think it could be what I call the "Johnny Haris effect," where a respected video journalist could potentially be facing editorial or management issues in which they're stories are seemingly limited. Just looking at your vox profile you went from stories every one month to now having longer spans of time between release of content originating from you I begin to have concerns that you could be released from Vox (just for the record both you and Haris' content were my favorite videos from vox,) and I think I'm just scared I'm going to see a second idol of mine released or fired from Vox.

    Like at this point I've began to lose interest in most of the Vox youtube content because of some of the shifts in storytelling throughout the past couple of months. The people narrating and reporting in vox videos are just ripping the presetablished styles of reporting from both you and Harris. Stupid rant and I apologize for being rather upfront. I can't put full faith in Vox if they end up releasing top tier reporters who defined the narrative in which vox tells a story.
