Keep in mind, he's not a normie he recognizes the issues with society and has videos where he talks about them but doesn't meaningfully support any ideas that will fix them and continues with his boomer.. vibes.

To be perfectly honest, all the solutions offered to "fix" society are retarded and would only make things worse, ranging from Anarchy to Feudalism. There are non-retarded ways to fix society's problems through reforms but these are brushed aside as either cucked or Fascist depending on what side of the aisle you occupy, because they're not extreme enough to satiate /pol/ack or breadtube blood lust.
 
I hate alt history channels because they are based on theory, not actual facts. It's always "what if" and not what actually happened.

The issue is that too many people turn down legitimate fixes because they're "socialist" or "fascist".

Someone made a tier list of YouTube channels most often criticised by r/BadHistory. WhatIfAltHist is the only one in the lowest tier.

(Tier list uses some objective metrics with almost academic standards, meaning there should be constant citations edited into the video itself. This is why nobody is in A-tier.)

I'm not gonna trust a channel which features Breadtubers or has anything to do with r/BadHistory
 
I kind of like his videos.
I find the bad quality microphone, massive overblown self confidence and extremely repetitive themes comforting when hearing them over and over again.

Have you heard that Turkiye will be a superpower? Rudyard has and he'll tell you about it over and over again.

It was fascinating seeing him get redpilled from his media diet and go from making videos like "What if the cotton gin was never invented" and "What if the Byzantine Empire Never Fell" to making videos where it's like I'm transported back to 2015 - 2016 and I'm listening to someone like Gad Saad on Joe Rogan talking about how the left have invented a new religion where diversity officers are the new priestly class.

If you go to his channel, all his videos actually talking about alternative history are the ones with the most views. Those alternative history videos that he has made are still unironically probably the best that exist on the platform. There are people like AlternateHistoryHub and their videos are dogshit accompanied by better production values but entirely lacking substance or personality.

As for whether he's a lolcow, I don't think so. Not quite yet. I think that this thread should be moved to multimedia. I do think that eventually he will be a lolcow. He's going to continue his descent into Jordan Peterson territory and will either pick up a complementary benzo addiction, or run afoul of someone or some community who will take it upon themselves to really fuck his shit up.

My prediction for Rudyard is that he is going to troon out. He's going to become a tranny and it is basically 100% confirmed at this point. He has swung so far right in such a short period of time that it's obvious that he's just a pendulumcuck who is easily influenced by his media diet.

Because he spends so much time online and by extension on discord it's only a matter of time before his pendulum and media diet swing in the exact opposite direction.

What female name do you think he'll adopt or do you think he'll opt for they/them pronouns?

For me, this guy is cringe kino. Every month or so I'll try to watch a video. I usually fail half way through or so because it's just way too much, but sometimes it just clicks and I have a blast going along with whatever ride he's arranged. I didn't know he was so young and had been making videos for so long. Give me more sympathy but he's basically at the age where that stops being an excuse in my eyes.

I'm particularly interested in his seemingly bogus claims about starting clubs and working with organizations. The OP could definitely use specifics in this area.

I agree that as things stand now, he probably doesn't qualify as a lolcow. Might be worth checking out his Discords to see what his fans are up to.

Does this guy have an audience for this stuff? I've seen his takes on twitter and they seem like artifacts straight out of the post-gamergate era but mixed with right wing twitter history. They have an uncanny quality that suggest autism or someone late to the game. Most of his political-historical theories are like several years down stream from right wing history accounts. He is more behind on the culture war game than someone like sargon or even elon musk who have started dropping "anti-white" recently. I don't think rudy wants to become part of the intellectual dark web because that grift is pretty much over with people like peterson deep-throating israel on twitter. I thought rudy's original audience for political takes (not the alt-hist one) was libertarian silicon valley guys who are afraid to call themselves conservative. Is his popularity leftover momentum from his alt-hist content or is he actually a future zoomer peterson?

This is a pretty good one-sentence summation of his entire schtick. And yeah, as others have remarked, for being a zoomy zoom his takes are as tepid as half the shit your grandpa uses as background noise on Fox News. Makes me think he's either an idiot or a grifter, at least when it comes to the political/culture war stuff.
