    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.

        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…

        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 ✨️
