 @ecc60aeb the 1st sentence felt like just someone trying to show some kind of moral high ground. Then came the 2nd part, calling myself and anyone who, for whatever reason, uses YouTube "mentally weak." At first, I was tempted to reply in the same way, but after giving it a second thought, I genuinely recommend you to find some help. This seems more than you being a random dipshit online, but someone with some twisted views that try to put down anyone who does something different than they do. 
 @ecc60aeb you don't even consider that there might be reasons for anyone to use YouTube directly; you insult them and, in the process, try to make yourself better than them for not using it directly. Insecurities can be fixed with proper help. And you can even learn that someone doing something different from you isn't inherently wrong or evil. 
 @dcc234ff there might be reasons for anyone to use YouTube directlySuch as?try to make yourself better than themI'm not trying to be better, I am better. But you can be better too if you just try.someone doing something different from you isn't inherently wrong or evilCorrect, but supporting harmful platforms that only serve harmful companies to become more powerful and destroy the open and free (as in freedom) Internet is wrong and evil. 
 @ecc60aeb of course you are 🙄
