If only there was a YouTuber that covered this months ago…

Oh wait

I love Alex, literally just watched his fan video, but you can't act like that one video is all we need on the subject. "There's already a video on that" doesn't really help anyone trying to bring awareness to a massive issue

You can’t rationally argue someone out of a position that they didn’t rationally enter in the first place.

When somebody says "You're wrong, watch this hour long video by a youtuber to find out why", have you ever watched the videos they linked?

[–] TeddE@lemmy.world 10 points 20 hours ago (1 children)

Yes! But I'm definitely an oddball. I also read the terms of serving refuse to use services that have terms I disagree with.

Well here's a video I didn't watch about why you're wrong.

Edit: whoever downvoted this clearly didn't watch the video or they would agree with everything I think.

I happen to have seen that one before. It's very layered … like an onion.

Of course you can. It just takes patience.

It's literally what psychologists do for a living

I like technology connections but no way in hell should you be advocating for people on Facebook to get their facts from youtubers.

Don't worry, they'll find something on YouTube that'll confirm their bias. They won't watch a 1.5h video though.
