For my own benefit (and for the benefit of others who care to check), I'm going to use my sandbox to track Youtubers' political stances. I'm a bit exasperated with finding out I've been supporting a Youtuber and eventually finding out that they, say, may agree with the Alt-Right when they casually work it into one of their videos.
