I always see a lot of discouraging responses whenever protests are brought up. I don’t think protests on their own will solve most major issues, but they’re indicative of people caring enough to start going out of their way to do things, and can have awareness and ripple effects on a population.
How about instead of discouraging people from protesting as if it’s pointless, encourage them to keep up that energy and recommend what else they can do now that they’re all fired up and engaged? Why not fan the flame instead of raining on it?
The worst is when you see a low sub count channel owner respond with the sincerest gratitude, like it really made their day to get such a supportive comment. I never have the heart to tell them, but I do try to leave an actual supportive comment of my own to sort of balance it out
