You should prioritize organizing in the real world, Anark mostly argues that it’s easy to fall into the trap of caring too much about electoral politics, which is a mistake given how much is that game rigged in favor of the privileged. Unfortunate that people downvote instead of first listening to the essay’s content, shows that unfortunately dogmatism is quite prevalent among anarchists, which I would say is one of the reasons of why the ideology was not more successful historically. If we cannot have a healthy conflict among ourselves, how can we organize to fight actual authoritarians who will want to oppress us as much as we let them?
I don’t think all the people voting this down are anarchists so I don’t know if you can make a conclusion about how prevalent it is. For example just read the comments of the video you linked.
Edit: highlighted all so that people don’t come at me for saying that people voting this down aren’t anarchist.

Apparently it might have been a coordinated brigade so don’t think too much of the downvotes.
