    nothing will ever change so long as people keep showing YouTube that they’re okay with things

    The people “using” YouTube in the economic sense aren’t the viewers, they’re the advertisers.

    Selective activism and cherry-picking isn’t going to move the needle.

    Neither is stomping your foot and being mad at the anonymous video consumer or ad firm.

    Might as well get angry about people watching the Super Bowl or the next big Marvel Movie.

    If you want to advocate for an actual alternative thing, go for it. But just arguing in the negative is hollow, especially when you’re arguing with a statistical person rather than an actual audience.
