Prominent YouTuber PewDiePie is also often considered red-pilled. It is accepted that media personalities need to hide their outright fascist beliefs, or 'power level', in order to have a chance at red-pilling the general population (usually called 'normies').

FBI Counterterrorism Division (October 17, 2006). "White Supremacist Infiltration of Law Enforcement" (PDF). (U/LES) Since coming to law enforcement attention in late 2004, the term ghost skins has gained currency among white supremacists to describe those who avoid overt display of their beliefs to blend into society and covertly advance white supremacist causes. One internet posting described this effort as a form of role-playing in which 'to create the character, you must get inside the mind of the person you are trying to duplicate.' Such role playing has an application to ad-hoc and organized law enforcement infiltration. At least one white supremacist group has reportedly encouraged ghost skins to seek positions in law enforcement for the capability of alerting skinhead crews of pending investigative action against them.
(U/LES) Leaders in the white supremacist movement have advocated confronting suspected infiltrators and to instruct them to provide their FBI handlers with low level information that will minimally impact the group's activities. Another as yet undocumented infiltration strategy is for members to 'walk in' to law enforcement agencies and offer information to determine an agency's interest in the organization. In later years, it is believed that the covert tactic has been in place and actively used since the 1940s.

Charles, Christopher (2020). (Main)streaming Hate: Analyzing White Supremacist Content and Framing Devices on YouTube (Thesis). University of Central Florida. p. 69. This two-pronged style of communication goes by many terms in far-right circles, including 'hiding one's power level'—a reference to the animated show Dragonball Z, which likens white supremacist beliefs to superpowers that are better left concealed.
