Worth noting "Wall Street Wolverine " is a 'patriot' youtuber who fled to Andorra, in order to avoid paying taxes in Spain. Even Ayuso's tax haven is too much for him, apparently. Recently "Wall Street Wolverine" became the laughingstock in Twitter, when he asked for the construction of a helipad in the nearby Seu D'Urgell, so he could go from Andorra to Madrid and visit his friends. Some people noted that "Wall Street Wolverine" was discovering why paying taxes is neccessary.
But this issue is more serious than it appears. Last weekend I heard to someone who teaches high school students that youngsters trust these people.They watch the YouTube channels and hear all kinds of nonsense and barbarism without filter, because many people don't read books and don't get information from reliable sources
The issue of political 'influencers' must be addressed
If the whole world depends on today's youth, I can't see the world lasting another hundred years.

Seriously though, I really hate this kind of thinking. People weren't more informed about politics in the good old days just because they got all of their information from maybe a dozen Respectable™ national newspapers, two RTVE channels and the occasional politically-themed book. Like it or not, YouTube and social media are an important way of spreading political messages today -
the most important way for people under a certain age. The solution isn't grumbling about how kids are idiots and we're all doomed, it's adapting to a new environment. As annoying and #problematic as the American (Anglophone?) BreadTube is at times, the thing is,
it works. It spreads its message to a wide audience, raises awareness of issues and converts some people on the way, just like any at least semi-competent political current should.
