In his 1000 subscriber Q&A he answers this question, here's what he says in that video:
"It's not that I'm such a big fan of the SPD in the 20s and 30s, they weren't really the good guys either in a lot of cases, It's just that I'm a fan of history and like the idea of people coming together to fight for democracy against the forces that try to destroy it."
i dunno if he's said anything more recently, I just remembered this but I haven't been subscribed to him in a while.
I think that she was a bit more left than now, that she did want to express multi faceted views, was much closer (timeline and relational) to the university and academic debates and thus tried to present a bit of leftism with a fun take. That said, she wasn't openly advocating for any explicit revolutionary stream.
Now Contra got money from the videos, which changed her relation to society, she has a lot of input from viewers all over the spectrum, which also skews her views. It might be that she hides her power level, but I doubt it.
Well that's a shame. I remember when Breadtube started, the goal behind it was to push back on all the right-wing propaganda on youtube and try to radicalize people. It seems like instead of radicalizing people it's just de-radicalized people who were already on the left.
It's not deradicalised people who were already on the left. It's just that people making these vids are just radlibs, and they don't know enough about anything. Almost none of them belong to any kind of larger structure, to an organisation or something, or have participated in serious organising and unionising etc. A leftist who has never tried any of that stuff, has never come in contact with serious people who are attempting that, who has never been part of collective struggle etc and thinks they are qualified to talk about stuff after just reading the wiki page about Rojava or even worse, watching vids by other libs who stan democrat slay kweens, is not a leftist.
They're all either utopians, laser-focused on idpol, secretly reactionary or just complete ultras. And that is predictable. It is also predictable that if they continue being as individualistic as they are, if they continue being absent from any serious organising, and if they continue having their audience enforce their echo chamber, chances are they will all end up reactionary.

He said he’s not a communist, but have never said anything anti-USSR or more broadly anti-communist.
Guy seems to focus on Germany issues and debunking crap histories of WWII, he’s doesn’t seem interested in much beyond that.

Three Arrows is good, lots of debunking Holocaust denial / Wehrmacht apologia from a modern German perspective.
his video on bolsonaro/the brazilian dictatorship is pretty good
BadEmpanada is not quite breadtube but he does good vids and he posts here too (or at least he used to post in the old sub, idk if he migrated).

Breadtube started good for like 6 months then got co-opted by libs.
