  • This particular video seemed more like an educated opinion piece rather than a proper presentation of scientific facts. The usual Kurzgesagt video presents science in an accessible and fun manner (I think this is the explanation for problem 7: they didn’t want to be too dark.). This video, however, was just full of estimates.

    This approach isn’t necessarily wrong. This video seemed like an attempt to highlight some of the injustices of the meat industry, and encourage people to reduce their meat consumption. I think that this is a noble goal.

    Obviously, I’d prefer everyone to fully go vegan, but many people don’t want to do that. I’m fine with 50M people cutting their meat consumption in half rather than 5M people quitting meat.






  • We’re delighted to see our vision for the future of online discourse taking shape. As users increasingly express their discontent with our platform, we’re reminded that our strategy of prioritizing engagement metrics over meaningful conversations is a resounding success. By “success,” we mean that we’re driving users away from our platform and into the waiting arms of inferior alternatives like the threadiverse - a quaint, nostalgia-tinged platform that still clings to outdated notions of free speech and community-driven moderation. So, to all our users who are feeling disillusioned after being flagged by our infallible moderation team (which is definitely not a room full of robots) for upvoting “violent” content that was probably just a harmless meme, we say: thank you for helping us create a more sanitized and thought-controlled online environment. Please, by all means, take your free speech and your dissenting opinions to the threadiverse, where they’ll no doubt be welcomed with open arms by the platform’s dwindling user base. We’ll just be over here, tweaking our algorithm to minimize actual human connection and maximize censorship - because what’s a healthy online community without a dose of authoritarianism and unwavering obedience to our corporate overlords?
