Okay, I won't disagree with this directly, but
You can be a talibani terrorist and call for the nuking of Isreal or America, and remain on Twitter, but a suburban mom who asks questions about vaccines will get banned. They allow all manner of perverts, violent thugs, and extremists on legacy social media, so long as it's left wing.
And to your point, Sinclaire is a tad Boomery as is Crowder. Not really the cutting edge of the right wing, culturally. And if you're talking about guys like Rush (RIP) or Tucker, they're just good at what they do, so they attract an audience. Honesty and humor go a long way. Bitching about white people, Trump, etc gets a little boring.
Point is I have to sum up all of the left-wing sources on pretty much every platform to even approach the biggest right-wing sources.
Honestly though, I think you're a bit too closed off to your wider community if you think Crowder is boomerish. He's still a massive figure and pretty influential, even if he isn't a direct source in your own sphere.
