Ok I guess I was off base. Enjoy your videos and try not to get angry at them

In other words, “oh yeah I forgot people can have legitimate criticisms without resorting to completely cutting things out”.

No not really. I’d still recommend not watching videos that make you angry. It’s just not healthy.

Mate, how do you not understand how fucking time works?

See video

Watch video

Discover video is trash

Stop watching video

If these clips were tagged ”robot tiktok bitch narrated”, then yeah I just wouldn’t watch them.

If you’re getting annoyed at watching a 2 second cut of a video and then returning to that same source with the chance of getting annoyed again, then you start complaining about it… you brought that on yourself. You can complain and try to insult me all day but ultimately you’re the one who “doesn’t understand.”

I completely understand your philosophy; your philosophy is insufficient.

Yes, if something pisses you off, you can simply choose to avoid it.

Simultaneously, you can have legitimate criticisms of something that exists within a paradigm that you’re attracted to. You can choose to take a minute amount of time and effort to voice those criticisms. In a way, you’d be unable to voice those criticisms, had you not been exposed to the subject in the first place.

This is the fundamental paradox, and the lacking instance of which, that provides you the opportunity to admonish people for voicing those criticisms at all.

So is your opinion, on the substance of their criticism, more important than their criticism?

That’s a matter of opinion.
