  • I mean we’re here in the comments to exchange perspectives primarily. Never saw anyone quoting research papers. There’s no rule about forbidding comments to be biased or opinionated. So I’d say our access to any form of potential objective truth, as fundamental basis for discussion, is fairly limited. World news is not only about scientifically validated facts. It’s rather a fast paced informational feed, where you have to balance speed and factual quality.

    And we had context for the anticar lobby comment, so it’s not like the person said: look, here is the irrefutable truth from an independent source. They rather said: Look here are some reasons for why XYZ is bad.

    I don’t have a problem with it, besides it being a lazy and hard to read solution.












  • Yeah like I said, I think the person was being social and ignorant at the same time. The world is not black and white and I’m not saying they did bad. I just think a lazy question deserves a lazy answer.

    And YouTube actually has videos about this exact process. It’s not like I’m shitposting by pointing towards some abstract entity with no meaningful help or knowledge.

    Things said, no hate or anything from me ♥️ hope everyone finds what they looking for and people have more patience than me, with those preferring conversation over quick answers to their questions ;)


  • I get the social part, but to me it seemed that the person was not even trying to inform themselves about the basics a bit before engaging in a discussion. This way you’re just getting the same questions over and over again and the same answers.

    Out of respect I always at least try to get some info before asking people questions. This way both sides may profit because you might also be able to contribute new information they didn’t know about.

    And if you don’t wanna use YouTube you can still use Newpipe/Startpage e.g… it’s not impossible to find alternative means.
