      did you read the rest of the comment? this is a topic worth taking seriously rather than be flippantly dismissive.

      Ok.

      If someone’s thinking about a lifelong decision, it’s well worth that 3 hours of being spoonfed the dozens hours of research that went into it.

      (That’s just for whoever passes by to read this. I do not care what you do personally.)

        Being spoonfed dozens of hours of cherry-picked research is exactly the problem with lots of “youtube research” like this.

        One could do another 3 hour video on the subject “Natalism is the tool of the nazis” also rooted in cherry-picked sources.

          Wah youtube

          In response to a link to a creator who has litterally dedicated a video to grapple with the dynamic that we as audiences need to consume information with care

          Idk what to tell ya. A lot of people enjoy learning in this format. You do know a person can read in addition to watching a video, dont be silly ✨️

          you’re aware this logic applies to any information in any form, yes? that’s why you need to engage critically with a text, not just numbly accept or dismiss them…
