Odysee, bitchute, peertube, and others are overrun with right wing media and there’s nearly no left-wing stuff on them. Where are all the lefties?

There is chorus https://www.wired.com/story/dark-money-group-secret-funding-democrat-influencers/
But part of it I think is as the left we generally dislike those kinds of deals as it’s inherently a potential conflict of interest.
It’s definitely a prickly issue. Even those funded through donations to Patreon, etc can find themselves chasing donations and engagement over facts. Any donations where there is even a whiff of possible quid pro quo, definitely put leftists off.
Authoritarian mouthpieces are free to sell out and shill. Where even a hint of it is enough to ruin any on the left. It’s definitely not fair.
Also there are groups like Pacifica in some markets. Not enough, but some.
