Go to any music video and read the comments, it’s like everyone was given a lobotomy. It’s scary tech censorship. I would take the wild go f yourself days of YouTube comments over this v1 matrix toxic positivity world any day.

Maybe people just don't respond to music videos with a lot of negativity? Not every comment section needs to be "balanced."

Luckily I can remember back more than 6 months to know this isn't the case, so I don't need to sit here wondering.
