Yeah that's entirely on her.

World doesn't exist in an individual vacuum. The people negatively influenced by disinformation go onto to take a role in society and interact with others to either negatively or positively affect the people they encounter. Congratulations on your individual resilience, but the world is not a population consisting of only you with you alone determining the impact other people have on the world.

Yeah and, once again, those people are the problem.

Unless you want to ban any food that isn't fruits and vegetables, cars, not sleeping enough, not getting enough exercise etc, at some point you have to accept that people do in fact make their own choices.

I'm not for banning things because some people are idiots.

you have to accept that people do in fact make their own choices.

I feel bad that you've been radicalized into thinking this way.

Im not concerned with your feelings.

It's not just all you or all youtube. Both matter. It's harmfully reductionist to act like it, not both.

Both really don't matter, since adults have a right to chose to consume any content they'd like.

If your grandma finds Q fascinating, that's on your grandma

It's also the fault of those producing Q content.

No it isn't. Every demand will find a seller. That's just how reality works.

The overwhelming majority of "radical" content creators are just riding a grift train.

So you agree, they are also at fault.
