That is your take away? No cobtribution at all?

People like you make me cheer the corpos on. Well not really, but I often wonder why I need to champion the asshats. And people upvote your useless comment.

While the channel is making money and supporting Google. Way to go smarty.

    If people like me make you even consider cheering the corpos on, then you don't actually care about anything other than outward appearance, and your allegiance and opinions mean nothing, because you just like whoever has the best PR.

    What, should Steve just also start his own video streaming or distribution service?

    You're gonna say that using a corporate tech platform to expose corporate tech bullshit... well in this case, that's bad, because, capitalism is still happening?

    Would you prefer a much tinier number of people be able to see this content?

    Do you value ideological purity over broad dissemination of information?

    Lemme know when your LORA meshnet video streaming network is up and running, you know, nationwide, globally.

    Blah blah blah. You had zero reason to give that other person a bad time about finding him difficult to watch. So you said they were pro corporate, although it had nothing to do with anything. Meaning you are just busy being an asshat and have nothing to contribute. Which makes me realize just how many people are like you that jump straight to being a dick and don't really care about anything.

    Which makes me go why am I caring about you again?

    And yes, I do think you should stand up to your principles and get off you tube. Google is just as much part of the problem, quit supporting it.

    They already admitted they're a corpo yuppie. I just pointed out their misplaced guilt complex.

    I'm being an asshat performatively to serve a purpose: bullshit detector.

    Yeah I jump straight to being a dick when I get a strong whiff of out of touch privileged bullshit.

    You're still responding to me because you were lying earlier when you acted like I wasn't worth responding to... thus I hit a nerve somewhere, you can't handle someone being rude to you.

    'Blah blah blah', anyone bringing up points you don't like being brought up is dismissible... because they were rude to you.

    See how your ability to evaluate situations just... you know, hinges on how polite someone is to you?

    You said I was contributing nothing.

    No.

    I contributed something, you just... couldn't comprehend it.

    But I do respond to insults in kind, old man.

    Anyway yeah, thanks for your boomer advice, I'll be sure to tell every single left wing or consumer advocate, you know, every actually anti corporate streamer or creator on youtube to just, you know, stop doing the youtubes, because they can just get their information from...

    ... uh ... the ... public... broadcasting service?

    Oh wait that basically doesn't exist anymore.

    Does Democracy Now cover tech news very in depth?

    NPR?

    Whatever, the kids are wrong, somehow.

    (ps you can use youtube without giving them any data or money or ad views or anything if you understand a bit about web browsers)

    No they didn't. What are you making up now?

    You didn't contribute anything. They asked where else can I see this. You jumped up like a petulant child with nothing to say and had fun pointing fingers. Then had the classic "boomer" rant, you are checking all the boxes.

    Oh well, thats what I can expect from a YouTube Shill. You want convenience over actually giving a shit about corporations. You want attention over discussion. Why are you so deep in googles pocket?

    No. Participation is consent. Which you would know if you were not such a child.

    Considerate of you to defend me and others in this community.

    I'm allowed to criticize and despise the Man Who Owns No Scrunchies and I'm allowed to be dead wrong about it. I can do so, out loud, and without insulting people in our community.

    They are technically allowed to downbote me into oblivion and a few will pile on with the sophomoric insults.

    I appreciate that your tact is to recognize that this is a community of real, breathing people, and the tyiu call out the consequences of one hitting way harder than the consequences of the other.

    I'm often reminded that, just like subreddit, these are OUR communities and that they will become what we make of them. We have the power in our hands to completely tear down our own teams.

    I think we both could be rather curious what building it up looks like, instead.

    I mean, unless 'Steve' is here. Fuck that guy. 🤣

    I got what you are saying and there is nothing wrong with asking for a different view of the same information, or other formats.

    I found the reply to you so off putting because any ally would likely say something to guide you to more info. Instead you get shouted at. Like WTF.

    So each person who upvoted that makes me really question why I am here at all, they contributed nothing to the community except to try and ostracize someone. Even if you were on the fence about the content, what good would that do? Do they actually give a shit, or are they just trolling?

    Beginning to think I'm deeply wrong, and that this place just isn't for anyone outside the (albeit decentralized yet obviously prevalent) groupthink.

    I've never seen so many people line up to glaze such an unprofitable human outside of r/conservative/conspiracy. Never imagined it'd hit a nerve saying "I don't give this one creator viewership."

    Next, I'll find out they're mad I still watch LTT.

    I mean, in later replies to me that dude literally called himself a troll and admitted he just needed the attention.

    I like to think you and I can have a moderating effect around here, over time. :)

    It's when the group can't handle having vocal dissidents that I start moving towards the exits.
