"I've complained about everything and sometimes I'm right" is not the flex you think it is.

Old men also yelled at Newspapers, Radio, Books, Trains, Airplanes... Anything new or different than what they are used to. If you're only argument for something being bad is "I don't like it, and other things I don't like are bad" you might want to reassess your argument.

"It's a shame anything has to change. The Sun has changed its position in the sky and I don't trust it one bit."

Well I think you're old enough now to learn that not everything that gets created will be in the exact format that you specifically prefer. Some things will be made with other people in mind as the target audience and if you want to enjoy it you'll have to engage with it in a way different from your own personal preference. It's all part of being a grown up.

Why post it to youtube in that case?

"Why isn't this text?"

YouTube has more accessibility and reach.

"Then why isn't it an audio file?!?!?!"

Fucking what? You seem to just be upset that this exists in a way people will access.

You only seem to care about the fact that this is a video, not about the petition at all.

That's because people are generally fucking morons who can't, or worse, won't fuckin' read.

"Books are for fucking morons who can't, or worse, won't fuckin remember"

Something like this is what encouraged my wife's conservative grandmother to reconsider her thoughts on the topic. She heard about a gay teen who committed suicide and asked "if it was a choice, why wouldn't they just choose not to be gay instead of killing themselves?"

"So who can I refuse treatment to?"

"That's the neat part. You don't."

Someone being LGBT doesn't mean McDonald's is allowed to refuse them service, or ESSO is allowed to refuse to sell them gas, or a gym can refuse them membership. Why the fuck do you think a doctor should be allowed to refuse them treatment for a disease?

I personally feel no need to get sponser block because:

  1. The sponsership is not annoying as fuck.
  2. I can fast forward through it.

Everything the ads do to force you to pay attention it to (like not being able to fast forward) makes it easier for ad blockers to detect and block.
Everything the ads do to demand your attention (by being annoying as fuck) drives people to block them.
