    oh they love doing that, I think they did a similar thing for tobacco as well… if I’m not mistaken, I think the title of the video was “smoking is awesome”, and it was like a walkthrough of what happens in your body when you smoke, and how you pay a terrible price for the nic buzz

    in their defense (although they’re not worth defending at all) this clickbait strategy will definitely get some people to watch, the jury’s still out on whether or not they actually have a decent message to communicate within the video, or if they’re (as usual) going to propose market-based strategies to make capitalism more “sustainable”

      “There’s really only 1 conclusion to draw here: if you have the choice, don’t step into the supernova of pleasure because the danger of it turning into a supernova of pain is just too high”

      That was the final line before a sponsored segment and a patreon plug segment. I don’t think they really provide a solution. Also, as I look at the video it has a more descriptive title.
