This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

While true, veritasium is terrible and fakes science experiments for advertisements. You shouldn’t support him.

This is the first I'm hearing of this, usually it's the opposite. Care to provide justification and evidence?

Was quite a lot of controversy around this topic https://www.veritasium.com/videos/2021/7/23/why-you-should-want-driverless-cars-on-roads-now

Not well disclosed sponsoring among other things afaik. That video was why I unsubbed, no idea if there has been new stuff since

EDIT: Talking about people like tyler, you were just providing neutral commentary which I appreciate.

original comment: Jesus, people on the internet are like fucking elephants. One mistake, even if it's corrected and they change, and a creator gets branded for the rest of their career. What a joke, acting like people can't change from experience.
