I appreciate your nuanced answer. That's something a lot of "why not just pay for YouTube premium" guys don't
You raised good points and if you're happy to pay for the convenience, I'm not going to fight you on that.
While I don't fully agree with paying for a service that doesn't listen to their customers(bring back dislikes), I can still see where you're coming from.
The founding fathers were correct. A pure democracy is also known as mob rule. Anytime you can get 51% to agree with you, you can do whatever you like.
If 51% vote to take the homes of black people, that's decided and done.
Which is why modern democracies are all some form of representative democracy. Which in theory is supposed to act as a sort of check and balance on the system.
