We've been in that stage for a long time, it's just getting some extra attention now because Veritasium made a video.
It sounds cringe, but the right attention is the right attention. I can't complain.
I agree, I just wanted to emphasize that this isn't a new development or an aberration, but the natural result of the perverse incentives that exist in a capitalist economy.
Is there something wrong with Veritasium?
I think it's just a "we already knew that but a ytber covered it so now people are talking about it" kind of vibe, sort of similar to hipsters lol.
Yeah it feels weird to me because it almost feels like deja-vu. I had thought he (or maybe it was another YT) had already made one years ago about Monsanto and Roundup Ready.
