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.

No. Snake oil salesmen are not to blame for people craving snake oil. They're merely filling the demand gap

Explain why people want novel new things.

Because they provide value.

So your saying that the supply caused a demand?

No I'm literally saying the opposite. You cannot manufacture demand

Hahhaa ok sure, buddy. Big news for advertising.

If we can manufacture demand, then supply-side economics is the way to go, full stop. Youre a big fan of Reagan, I take it?
