Full quote, from the above link:
"Wussup normal peeps and 14 year old environmental hypocrite trolls that use gasoline in the cars they drive and the planes they fly and throw away double AA batteries every other month! "
H then goes on to hawk the link to some stupid CGI "art" bullshit that would be inoffensive and whatever, if not for the fact that creating it is ghoulishly greedy and selfish, given it's helping propagate/perpetuate a needless act that's destroying the environment further.
That's the thing - and one of my main points in my post - is that you are completely mistaken and you're getting Ethereum confused with Bitcoin from a functionality standpoint. Ethereum - nor blockchain - isn't just a currency and critiquing it as such is wrong. ETH is the currency used on Ethereum which is a decentralized platform that developers build decentralized applications with smart contracts. It's essentially a massive decentralized super computer - or internet - that isn't owned or maintained by a single party. This is good given Azure/GCP/AWS's growing monopoly on cloud computing and their bloodlust for working with intelligence agencies and military contractors.
Here's a really cool post-capitalist productive network project called Basis built on Ethereum.
It sounds like your concerns are rooted in not understanding blockchain which is understandable given it's a super complex nascent technology whose information is primarily disseminated through libertarian weirdos.
EDIT: Also yeah, saying Youtube is "free" to watch/access is a bit naive and just overlooks just about everything understood about privacy, intrusive ads, locational content blocking, demonetizations of left youtubers and more.
Are you on basis github (which is interesting, and exactly kind of shit crypto can be good at)? I think it’s good, but ip/creative work is increasingly easy to solve in crypto space
