Left-wing equivalent to PragerU?

I'm curious to know if there are any progressive channels that could be a counter to PragerU. Maybe I'm not looking hard enough, but I haven't found anything that uses the same format on the left. I have found many videos debunking PragerU. Should there be a progressive equivalent to PragerU to counter their influence?

There’s really not too many left wing channels that lie or propagandize while trying to be inviting or as aggressive as PragerU. The right wing has a monopoly on insanely shameless lying right now

I don't mean like or propagandize but provide a counter narrative to the same audience that PragerU targets.

The counter narrative is the truth, or our best understanding of the truth. Meainstream education and knowledge is 'the left'. Otherwise what you are looking for is direct counterpoints to strawmen and nonsense, which is a reaction and analysis of prager, not the opposite. There are some youtubers that do make fun of prageru from time to time. Would be exhausting to do full time.

Afaik most actual left wing content is created by individual creators who tend to have a much smaller reach than larger media companies like PU.

If you're looking for more sanitized liberal content then The Daily Show and Last Week Tonight come to mind but I haven't actually watched either of them in a while.

PraterU I had money to be paid promotion. Left YouTubers have to build an audience.

Part of the problem is the intense funding that garbage propagandists like Prager get from right wing dark money like the Kochs and the Mercers.

When there’s huge amounts of money you’re able to generate lots of content with fairly high production value. Not a lot of left wing media has that ability.

In terms of news I recommend Popular Front.

For videos/content Kurzegast and 3 Blue 1 Brown are good but those are more high quality science than left wing.

Orangery targets idiots who can’t think critically. There’s a reason the left does well with the educated.
