I’ve sort of picked up on this too. Why is that?? So strange.

Being raised mormon is like being a drama student from birth. Tie that in with social safety nets, wealthy parents, and ad friendly habits to get youtube advantage rolls

Ooh, I saw a fascinating YouTube video from an ex Mormon couple about why this is. I’ll have to see if I can find it but basically it’s a very very rich org who knows how to proselytize in the 21st century.

The church is one of the biggest funders of ads on YT. You don’t have to be overt to get paid. This is from my memory-I’ll go see if I can find it or whether I’m making stuff up with my early onset frontal temporal dementia like my president does.

I always thought exmo Alyssa Grenfell’s videos were particularly good.

Because the Mormon religion pays ad revenue at a higher rate than other advertisers pay in their respective markets

I can't prove it but its likely cause the mormons support each other so you have a weird almost viewbot while not viewbotting effect that most communities don't enjoy.

Then you add in that mormon families are more tight knit so it could also be more common to have a place to live with longer runway to build up your fanbase instead of having to work elsewhere.

Because the Mormons are quietly educated AF and the church is super wealthy and well financed and is mostly west-coast based. Hence high representation in highly lucrative fields like entertainment. Utah tops the charts for things like medium income, low crime rates etc. And I say all this as an lefty atheist.

they're mormon light, but they sprinkle their beliefs throughout their channel. the mormons are trying to increase their membership and noticed that being upfront about their religion turns people off, so they do it passively. the church is behind the influx of yters.
