      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?

          Of course you can. It just takes patience.

      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.
