Yaron Reuven and Yosef Mizrachi are a couple of Sephardic rabbis with limited learning and IQ who make a ton of compelling and entertaining speeches. They have a gift for rabble rousing. They’re not particularly concerned with accuracy. They don’t attract a good crowd.
The fastest way to grab attention and to climb in status is to take down those above you. That’s true for apes, it’s true for members of the dissident right, and it is also true for Orthodox rabbis. Content that appeals to modest IQ rabble will get more than 100x the viewership of intelligent Marc Shapiro-style content.
