@strypey I looked through the comments on this thread and was surprised that nobody remarked on how many more people use youtube compared to bitcoin.

It's unfortunate that one company has a monopoly and that their recommendation engine leads so many down conspiracy rabbit-holes. On the positive side, there's a lot of educational content available (between the ads).

It would be great if they used less energy, but one can believe that and still think this is an indirect comparison.
