might it not be better to have to deal with these urges, and more importantly, their causes, rather than soothe them vicariously?

- smoldesu 3y agoAccording to YouTube statistics, roughly 8,482 viewers seem to disagree. Plus, I'm hard-pressed to care anyways. You want me to get emotional over a mass-produced cell phone with millions of identical copies, all in a gradient of wear conditions? You're not angry at Foxconn for keeping factory workers in armed complexes and shared dorm rooms, or Apple for making arbitrary software decisions that has an unknowable opportunity cost? You look at the entire shitshow that is Apple's manufacturing complex, and to you the scary part is that people gather to watch it break? Have you ever been to a demolition derby? If Apple didn't break more of these phones than YouTube did during testing, they're negligent too. If you need someone to get mad at, send angry emails to Apple about how they didn't release their materials testing videos and forced poor YouTube to demolish their phones for them. Or you could move on and acknowledge that this is the bottom rung of the illogical ladder we call the populist economy.
