It’s definitely contrived, and Jubilee for sure seems to make clickbait-y videos. I don’t particularly fault them for it, it seems to be the arena they are playing in.

But I do think they are fairly neutral, and they get people who disagree to talk to each other, and I appreciate that.

I watched another video of theirs where it was inverted, with many conservative students debating one liberal pundit, and of course the students did worse- they’re just a bunch of kids. But good to be exposed to another point of view.

Best of luck on your hedges and roof! That sounds far more worthwhile than watching that video.
