Welcome to c/effort, the home of effort posts! This is a space where you can write on an topic, as long as it reflects real time and effort to put together.
Rules
Posts are text-only. No images or videos.
2.While the topic can be on anything, posts still require “effort”. While there isn’t a minimum word limit or anything, generally this means it’s longer than most other posts and there’s also that the expectation that your posts required real effort to write up.
“Master” posts that have a lot of links are welcomed.

Reddit is frustrating because it's a site of people who think themselves to be intellectuals saying the stupidest shit. Youtube is full of people who know they aren't intellectuals and don't care. Combine that with organized commenting brigades and you have a right-wing cesspool. The type of people who comment usually have an axe to grind and will more likely be some kind of right-winger if they aren't a stan of the Youtuber they're watching.
The comments on videos about the Israel-Palestine conflict have actually been better than Reddit's from what I've seen.
I swear I try not to read the comments on Youtube but every now and again I catch them by mistake and am like
What bothers me the most rn about Youtube is how sycophantic all of the comments are honestly. There's nothing related to the material unless it's like music (people argue over their fave albums) It's just "wow you are so smart :)"
It kind of reminds me of the type of people who call into radio shows. You either get big fans or people who want to gripe and heckle.
