    What happened to Adam Conover? I used to actually like his content. I probably agree with his message, but IDK because I only managed to get 2m45 into the video by skipping and playing double speed, and I’m not watching the rest.

    I don’t remember him being so loud and aggressive. What the fuck’s up with the poop jokes?

      He does longer format (i.e. 1+ hour) where there’s much less animated energy but still lots of cursing. Some of them are interesting (because of the guests), but he’s too full of himself and comes off as unlikable

      Seems many on YouTube now has this over-boisterous very fake broadcaster voice. I did watch the whole thing, but my wife and I had the same reaction. Good message mostly, but tough to listen to.

    I hate that the internet is reliant on tech giant infrastructure. I think part of the problem is that data centers and energy grids are not decentralized or capable of being sustained in an open source manner (unless a benevolent entity funds such a thing)

    I think people overlook how much of the internet Google helped create too, I kinda feel for them fighting against endless scammers, manipulators, gifters, etc. They’ve made a lot of peoples lives easier without charging them for it, this disproportionately helps poorer people more especially tools like maps, translate, and search.

    It’s always a little amusing when grandiose anti-Google claims are made on a platform owned by Google.
