do you have a plan to make that happen?

More people are going vegan than ever before as 88 million have went vegan.

it doesn't seem to be effective at reducing or even stopping the growth of the meat industry

comparing slaves to animals is what slavers do.

I will not be kind to those who are animal abusers

most people feel the same way.

Mean consumption is on a downward trend

can you show me some evidence of this?

I did watch that video. probably a dozen times. it gets posted often. I shouldn't be expected to debunk an argument that isn't made.

I rewatched* it after I made my comment though, and it does not establish what they claimed. it doesn't cite sources**, and it's primary thesis is "it's complicated"

edit(s):

* i actually listened to it. but just now, after i made this comment, i scrubbed it and i found:

** they do some pretty hard-to-see and also hard-to-research citation in the form of citing academic papers in the bottom right of the screen around the time they are making the claim. and let me tell you, poore-nemecek is the basis of the lca analysis (which i could have guessed), and that lca analysis is flat out bad science. it's certainly not a compelling reason to be vegan.

can you give me a compelling reason?

That's the opposite of what you were accusing corporations of doing.

this is how blocking should work. if you are publishing something to the public, there is no reason to expect others can't see it comment on it

 

I use youtube across different devices with the same account. sometimes, i even use it in multiple browser profiles or apps on the same device (with the account logged in).

the ad reminder got me. it actually stopped serving any youtube video on my laptop. so i made a new profile in firefox, logged in, and it was fine. for a couple days.

so i made a new profile, logged in, and... was foiled. but not to be deterred, i did what any reasonable person would do: i sought out one of the DOZENS of alternative frontends and used youtube's recommendation algorithm on the main site to pull videos from the alternative frontend.

for one day.

today, on my laptop, with my old profile, never changing logins or browser settings, youtube started working again.

did we win?

 

don't dogpile them. i just wanted to vent.
