In this video, we're investigating the flow of money from big tech and AI companies through political campaigns, PACs, SuperPACs, and their partnerships with each other -- despite being "competitors" -- as they work to make policies, like those which allow them to self-govern and self-police without regulatory oversight. This particularly looks at the influence of tech money on politics and elections, appropriate for the midterms, and how even simple gaming companies (like Epic Games and EA Games) have involved themselves in political maneuvers.

Links to Amazon and Newegg are typically monetized on our channel (affiliate links) and may return a commission of sales to us from the retailer. This is unrelated to the product manufacturer.

We do not ever produce paid content or "sponsored content" (meaning that the content is our idea and is not funded externally aside from whatever ad placement is in the beginning) and we do not ever charge manufacturers for coverage.
