Cartel YouTube and mob YouTube are not the same
The violent conflict between two factions of the Sinaloa cartel has terrorized northern Mexico since September 2024, leaving hundreds dead — including civilians, law enforcement officers and, increasingly, internet personalities.
The violence is no longer limited to the streets. Influencers who have built online audiences by sharing cartel-related content are now being targeted offline by Los Chapitos and La Mayiza, the two most prominent Sinaloa Cartel factions fighting for control of the region.
The most recent internet personality to be killed was Camilo Ochoa, a former Sinaloa Cartel plaza boss in Mazatlán who reinvented himself as a YouTube personality, attracting thousands of followers with stories from his time inside the cartel.

Both of us downvoted immediately. We might already be on a list.
I thought the article was interesting considering how mob YouTube is handled, especially with Skinny Joey.

Also why i dont make comments about sandwich shops run by retired cartel members, regardless of their quality, or commitment to regional flavour.

That, an extremely low number of murder cases that are solved and the cops may work for the cartel or be in the cartel it can be extremely dangerous down there in some places.

What are some good YT channels to follow for current cartel info?
All the ones in English are recycled documentaries and AI slop. I didn’t realize YT premium can auto dub Spanish into spoken English, so I’m looking for good channels to follow.

In Mexico, 100% you have to watch what you say. They don’t fuck around down there. But in the states especially away from the border? They won’t do shit to you. Just ask the Flores twins lol. There was black gangbanger who dissed them on video and nothing happened to him. That crackhead Charleston White dissed the cartels,and Mexicans in general non stop and nothing happened to him. Shit even that moron gene borello dissed them on Adam 22 interview and he’s still breathing. It’s really not a fair comparison because lcn has to deal with the most powerful government in the world that would come down on them harder than they did in the 80s and 90s for killing YouTubers and rats while the cartels literally got there country’s weaker and corrupt government by the balls.
