Career

Shaun began his current YouTube channel in 2016, and it is primarily funded through Patreon supporters.[5] Shaun has made left-wing videos about the 2017 Unite the Right rally,[6] the 1994 book The Bell Curve,[7] the atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, politics in video games, Native American history,[8] feminism and white supremacy. He has also created a video series called How PragerU Lies to You, which criticizes and responds to videos created by American conservative YouTube channel PragerU.

His video "Doom: The Fake Outrage" was named by Polygon as one of 2018's best video essays, with Polygon describing him as "quite possibly the most droll human on the internet".[9]

Shaun has been included in an informal group of leftist YouTube essayists sometimes known as "BreadTube"[10] or "LeftTube". This group also often includes Kat Blaque, ContraPoints, Hbomberguy, Lindsay Ellis, and Philosophy Tube.[11] [12] [3]
