It’s an advertising business. They sell advertising. Everything else is filler between the ads.

Network news runs on the same model.

Sometimes the filler (news or other content) is good but not always.

My understanding is that Breaking Points at least is mostly funded by direct donations to purposely protect them from censorship by YouTube. I take their perspectives with a grain of salt and their discussions can get long winded. However, in comparison to main stream media, these programs provide far more detail and context than a 2 minute soundbite of talking points straight from the White House or the CIA.
