When I scroll down to the comments, a smaller version of the video already remains visible on top. Is this not a default youtube feature?

You have got to be the most aggressive cheerleader out there. Have you never encountered someone with pessimistic viewpoints before? I got news for you, we're out here, and there's reasons that the sentiment is alive and kicking. Good luck trying to pummel people into being more optimistic. The way you're going about it? Not the most elegant. Though, perhaps if you're patient, we might join you in rainbow unicorn land eventually. Who knows. Lol.

You're showing so much patience with me, thank you. Copying my words back to me when coming up with new ones doesn't work. Here I am trying to have this dialogue with you, but all you seem interested in is picking a fight with me. I sincerely hope that regulators will win the fight, I'm just not as confident as you that they will. Can we maybe leave it at that? I wish you nothing but good things, a nice weekend too.

Of course, laws can work. Why are you putting words in my mouth? Take a breath, and go outside. There's lots of laws working just fine. My problem is with companies that are too big to fail, employing better lawyers than regulators could ever afford. I say split those companies up into bits that regulators actually handle.

That's what I was getting at. Consumers still buy the damn things, even though they're manufactured by this toxic company. Can't fault them for it either. They are pretty, after all. So we're going to have to trust regulations. Regulations, however, always seem to be one step behind, don't they? EU just forced the implementation of USB-C in all devices. Great. Pretty soon, those devices will all be tied to proprietary wireless charging stations. Maybe, hopefully, time will prove me wrong.
