    Ok, go spend some hours watching Incel videos and let me know if it was time well spent.

    I mean, how can you know it wasn’t worth your time if you didn’t watch it?

      Why even comment at all if you didn’t watch it? Did you just come to the comments to shit talk people watching it?

      I don’t want to watch that, same as you neither of us want to watch this video (it’s 90 minutes long, goddamn).

      Difference is, you’re seeking the stuff out just to review it as garbage without even pretending to click on the link. You aren’t even adding your own opinion about the topic; literally just saying ANY content ANYONE produces that disagrees with your view is automatically garbage. You’re a total partisan on the issue and you see absolutely nothing wrong with that.

        Alright I’m only halfway through the video and it’s by no means a slouch. I’d actually recommend giving it a chance.

        EDIT: Having finished, I’d say it’s a little preachy, but it makes some pretty heavy connections between AI companies and exploitative sweatshop labor, advertisement and consumption driven economies, and the profit motives behind the companies running AI models or gathering large datasets. It has the same themes and general political outlook of Folding Ideas, and it’s about as well-researched too.

        No, I am disagreeing with the idea that you cannot make assumptions based on similarities to other things and must view everything to have an opinion on it. I did not say the video is garbage, but that it is reasonable for someone who has seen similarly click bait titled articles that were garbage to assume this one is too.

        You do realize the very first post in this thread was the poster saying they assumed right? They admitted it was an assumption. You are turning an assumption into a negative review.
