Yep, it certainly is, but hardly anyone ever talks about it, especially not in mainstream media. Why? Because the ones doing it, i.e. the corporations, own the media. They're not going to tell on themselves. Instead they'll gaslight and lie about supposedly "rampant" retail theft that is nowhere near as widespread as they like to claim and constantly report. And gullible people believe them because it's on the news, it must be real, right?
You should watch their previous episode on The Fragile Creator Economy. It goes into how Some More News, like many creator based platforms, relies on corporations like Youtube and Patreon to survive, and thusly potentially stifles criticism of said corporations.
That's why I love this show, more often than not, they say the quiet part out loud.
What’s crazy is for ages I’ve only ever heard him via podcasts so I had no idea what he looked like and idk if I just have a bad skill at imagining people but the image in my head was nothing like how he actually looks.
As a 6’3 biggish dude with a nasal voice myself, Robert wasn’t very far from my expectations, but that’s only because he has described himself on occasion.

I love seeing Cody’s Showdy getting talked about on Lemmy, all my favorite vibes.
That's Reverend Dr. Mr. Cody to you.
Yes - Mister Reverend Dr. Mr. Cody McWarmboson Johnston III of Denduron
We Stan the Bearded Weirdo and his Warmbo Wife.
Cody is perhaps glowing gem of scruffed beardedman

Fair warning Robert Evans doesn’t quite look the way he sounds either
Yes. I initially imagined him more Patrick H. Willems.
Maybe less coconuts.

I have actually seen photos of Evans and yes I was surprised but not nearly as much as with Cody lol.
