Why is Contrapoints getting so much hate? (lemm.ee)

I saw someone say it was because she's supporting dems but that doesn't seem like enough for the amount of dunking I've seen. Did y'all think she was so far to the left that that would be a betrayal? I've typically thought of her as a progressive more than a leftist. Is there some statement she made I'm not aware of?

Champagne socialist, IMO. Comes from wealth and privilege and makes a stupid amount from Patreon subs, most of which probably have no clue what Natalie's net worth is. Has good opinions sometimes but I don't know, personally I just find it weird as hell when literal millionaires act like they're for the people while simultaneously living that bougee lifestyle because they can't fathom living like regular folks and perhaps using their wealth to help regular folks out.

It weirds me out that a millionaire leftist sees fit to ask her working class supporters for money while hiding her net worth and how much she pulls in from Patreon each month.

I've gotten tons of hate for this opinion in the past and I fully expect it now, because Contrapoints has reached Breadtube royalty status.

If I'm starving and someone claiming to be my ally has a chest freezer full of steaks in their basement that they're seemingly squirreling away... I don't think it's hard to see why there's some discomfort there.

This is somehow the case with many "leftist creators" who made it big. Like, we don't expect them to wear rags but they definitely should give back to the community, however that would look like. Anyway I still like many of her video essays and won't stop watching them but if I have money to spend I will do so on a homeless shelter and not a creator's patreon lmao
