How would you know if you don't watch YouTube? Or I hope you don't, to be morally consistent with your own positions.
- sarchertech 2y agoI have a beer now and again despite not letting my kids do so.
- vasco 2y agoTheir position is wider than the kid ban. Why would you watch something you characterize as such. So two options, either they are hypocritical and inconsistent and actually watch a bunch of YouTube to form such an informed position that it is all slop OR they don't actually watch so they wouldn't really know. The kid part is almost besides the point. I bet on hypocritical, watching a bunch of hours but then complaining that it all sucks, I've seen plenty of people do that.
- AlexandrB 2y agoHow is that hypocritical? Many smokers know they're killing themselves and if asked will discourage you from starting, but they keep smoking. Addictive experiences are like that sometimes - it's harder to quit than to not start. Edit: Thinking more about this sentence: > So two options, either they are hypocritical and inconsistent and actually watch a bunch of YouTube to form such an informed position that it is all slop OR they don't actually watch so they wouldn't really know. Doesn't this imply that no one is in a position to call YouTube content crap since they either haven't seen it or are hypocrites? Whose opinion that YouTube content is crap would be valid then or are only positive opinions about YouTube valid?
