IMO "My income is more important than the environment" is not the correct summary. The actual situation is this:
1) A youtuber needs a certain amount of income to be able to afford the time to create their content.
2) Selling merch works way better than asking for donations
3) The positive impact of having the informational videos far outweighs the negative impact of creating and shipping the merch.
You can of course criticize the viewers for (2) and if you think spreading information has a low impact, you can question (3).
- gfxgirl 6y agoSo basically "my message is important so I'll burn the world to spread it but your message, probably not so don't copy me" .. Okay. I mean you can make that same argument about almost anything "My 50k miles of air travel a year is important, yours isn't". "I need my giant house because I'm an influencer and invite lots of people over so I can convince them to save the environment". "If I don't look my best I'll never get the best opportunities which will make me rich and I can spend all my rich money on charity therefore I need all this fashion", etc...
