How the Mighty have fallen ...
TAA has, even though he still has slightly above 1 million subscribers, very few views on his YouTube vids. I don't think this is due to the YouTube algorithm or some blunt censorship (i.e. blacklisting, shadowban, YT ignore) or whatnot, but I think it is - for the most part - a reflection of the huge shift in demographics of most of the YouTube viewers ... those millennials, man.
No one cares about atheism anymore, at least in the traditional sense which it was presented all those years ago. Even when generating those stupid spin-offs Atheism+ and other political, sorta secular, activism for representation in the political sphere.
No matter, the time wasn't ripe for genuine secular values to permeate society at large. We got these secular values most of the way here in Scandinavian countries, and that was, ironically & even today, still while the Scandinavian constitutions recognized a specific flavor of Lutheran Protestantism as the country's official religion (in the case for Denmark, it's even in the very first chapter, §4, of Grundloven where the Evangelical-Lutheran Church is the Danish state church, and supported as such. Good luck changing that, Islamists).
I don't care what the constitutions say or do not say, that's just a fucking document people attach meaning to. What I do think matters, are all those ideologies ruminating in people's heads; and I will make my small contribution in presenting the alternative of using ideologies, ideas, as nothing more than artistic tools. Ideologies say jack shit about how to live your life as a human being. And if anyone tries to convince you that their "way" is the right one, you know you're dealing with someone fooled by what ideology really is, all the way into the deep end where a few fanatics are Ideologically Possessed.
