VisualPolitik
VisualPolitik is a political YouTube channel that provides detailed commentary on world politics and current affairs, often from an aggressively neoliberal perspective. Originally founded by Enrique Couto, Enrique Fonseca and Alberto Rodrigues in 2017 as a Spanish-language channel[1], it has since created English- and German-language subsidiaries, with the English-language version presented by Simon Whistler as only one of his approximately 2 million infotainment channels. These channels provide little of their own content, instead doing cut-and-paste translations of the videos on the original Spanish channel, and as a result there's a large number of videos about Spain or Latin America by the standards of English-language media. As of May 2020, the English-language channel alone has close to a million subscribers and more than 100 million total views,[2] while the original Spanish channel has almost double these numbers.
In spite of the channel's success, its videos have received some criticism both for their openly neoliberal ideology, with a large number of their videos advocating for free trade and tax breaks for large businesses as the main method of achieving economic development, and more generally for being sloppily-researched and valuing quantity over quality. A good example is its video on New Zealand about how it was such a great economic success story due to its policy of Rogernomics,
