    I haven’t watched the video, but…

    (1) If I watch it, it’s on YouTube (a form of social media) so I’ll be influenced and manipulated.

    (2) If I don’t watch it, it’s because I’ve read its title on Lemmy (another form of social media), so I’ll have been influenced and manipulated anyway.

    Bottom line: being influenced and manipulated is everyone’s destiny, yay!

      No offence, but I personally would advise at least reading the description before commenting. Manipulation was briefly mentioned, but it was hardly the topic of the video.

        Chill out RobotZap1000 (though, I suppose your alias suggests you’re a fierce robot punishing earthlings 😄)!

        I was just making a joke about the fact that normally we’re constantly receiving feedback to do/not do so something and we’re never entirely free to decide on our own
