    Farage is corrupt, but I’m not inclined to watch channels that feel the need to use clickbait to draw viewers.

        Because capitalizing SECRET and IT’S WORSE, insinuating the existence of a conspiracy with “Than You Think”, and putting an eye-catching yellow “EXPO$ED” on the thumbnail are hallmarks of meaningful journalism rather than sensationalist tabloids?

    I love the idea of DDN, but so many of the videos are just the same dude spinning connections between different parties until it’s just a big ball of red yarn pinned to a wall. This, coupled with the spooky music and those ridiculous title cards (it’s always EXPOSED!) I just can’t with them.

      I wonder why the same names frequently keep popping up in multiple videos in multiple corruption scandals

      Do you think there’s any connection between them and corruption?

        There’s absolutely connections between them, though most of their videos seem to be bending over backwards to draw lines between some of them. The problem is in the presentation: insisting on drawing so many connections is unnecessary, especially when some of them are so tenuous.

          I don’t think they draw unnecessary lines at all. The more familiar I get with the names the clearer the corruption scheme becomes.

          For example Peter Mandelson shows up in multiple investigations and we know what he’s about.
