So why buy anything else?

I am sorry, but I am not going to buy into that thing that people are being run off of YT right and left. If they leave it is because they wanted to. And, honestly, some are only here to stir the pot anyway....and there are plenty of them and they have a great audience.

There are some people on YT who think everyone has to play nice with people who are harming animals...be careful what you say and how you say it. Not something I can quite grasp. The animals don't have voices...WE are their voices and to pat someone on the back and play footsie with them while they harm one, then we are abusers as well imo.

Whether it be online or in real life, people voice opinions. Kids go to school and get picked on. There are those who run and say "oh, you poor darling" and feed right into that child's insecurities. Then, there are those who say, "why do you believe what another person says about you when you know it is not true?". Kids will continue to be victims if we tell them that they are victims.

Sometimes people are harsh on YT, but does that mean people have to leave? Again, they leave because they choose to do so. There is a lot of valuable information on YT. If you don't like a certain thread, leaving is only cutting your nose off to spite your face. There is an ignore feature on YT and I have used it more than once when I just didn't want to see what certain people were saying. I have some on ignore right now and have for some time. They are here and so am I. I did not leave nor did they when we disagreed.
Again...simply my opinion.

Oh ya. Don't we both know that all too well. We'd have both been gione long time ago.
