Again, at no point have in endorsed censorship. In fact I quite explicitly said I don’t endorse censorship.
I just saying that people can do a better job of sign posting the risks, and pointing people to resources to help them learn about the risks, and how to mitigate them, without having to sacrifice fingers and toes.

Doesn’t mean we shouldn’t try to help them understand the risks. We’ve all been dumb shit teenagers at some point. The lucky one have adult mentors that help do dumb shit without killing themselves, I don’t see why we can’t aspire to make videos that provide that guidance to everyone.
- kortex 5y agoI can definitely get behind the sentiment, but it becomes a game of "how much is enough?" Like take woodworking. There are a lot of operations on the table saw which require certain techniques to prevent pinching and firing the piece at high speed. Does every video that features a table saw deserve a safety brief on all the things you shouldn't do with a table saw? Or can we just delegate to a safety FAQ and maybe the manual of the saw in question? More topically, what if we just put all the laser safety stuff in a laser FAQ? https://styropyro.com/laser-faq/ https://styropyro.com/laser-faq/
- avianlyric 5y agoDon’t see anything wrong with putting it all in an FAQ. But then you should at least call out the FAQ in the video at the relevant point. Something simple like “this is very dangerous, make sure you educate yourself before trying anything similar, see my FAQ linked in the description as a place to get started”.
