Comment on YSK facts about renewable vs fossil, and more
TheTechnician27@lemmy.world 2 weeks agoI know you mean it and aren’t coming at this from the usual angle of clickbait, but

doesn’t saying that when Alec deliberately added a fakeout ending spoil the original intent of the art? Aren’t you tainting arguably the best moment of the video for the person who watches it? The fakeout only lasts a few seconds while Alec stares ominously into the camera, so there’s very minimal chance after an hour watching a thoughtful, argumentative video that somebody’s going to immediately click on the next thing.

If you watch to the end, he explains that the fake ending was so that he could also post a version that doesn’t get “partisan” for the people who want to share the first part about solar to people who may not recieve the second part well. But I don’t think there’s any risk of people not recieving it well here, and I think it’s important that as many people as possible see a typically non-partisan channel break the silence to denounce what is going on. I think if a huge swathe of internet “influencers” were suddenly this vocal, it would wake viewers up, it could change the course of history. It’s when everyone silently continues their regularly scheduled content that democracy silently dissolves.
