Urbanist and car enthusiasts are not mutually exclusive: car can be a hobby, but hobbies belong on tracks or in garages.
I have met a vintage car enthusiast living happily in Amsterdam, he restores small early japanese cars and collect them, but that doesn’t mean he need to drive them every day to work. His car is in a garage near Amsterdam, and he still bikes when he travel within the city.
Like I enjoy starcraft, but I’m not asking my government to spend interstate money to keep starcraft alive or host tournaments; nor will I defend it if it interfere with other people’s need, right, and life.
Starcraft also don’t kill 1.3 million people a year BTW, so if anything is getting foundings, starcraft should have more priority over cars…
Agreed. Nobody cares that you like driving, it’s the fact that we’re forced into it via the forced elimination of other options.
That’s the thing! There are beautiful cars out there! You love tuning? Nice! Racing is your thing? Happy for you!
All of this has nothing to do with individual mobility.
Downvoting because I don’t want this is clearly a ad for your YouTube channel.
Id downvote twice if I could because the obnoxious YouTube image.
I’m not the creator of the video (I used the video’s title when posting it here), I just thought it was interesting that even a dude who loves cars can’t look past the downsides of them, It’s almost, but not quite like seeing a car magazine shit on cars.
It was a good watch and nice to see a YouTuber speak their mind about downsides of car culture, even if there’s a huge risk of annoying their audience.
Id recommend not giving them the clicks and just summarizing.
Influencers make cringe bait because they know people will share it. And you played right into their hands.
Do you believe he is being disingenuous? I didn’t really get that vibe from him.
It’s like they got a fuckin toddler to cut out pictures of cars 😂
Did your mum stick this on the fridge when you got home, OP?
Welcome to Lemmy.
Lemmy doesn’t have ads like reddit, so there’s no rules against self promotion, which only existed to drive folks to pay reddit money.
Self-promotion is welcome on Lemmy.
Wow. I’m sure the rest of the enthusiasts are just around the corner!
The dude is complaining about owning 12 pos used cars as if that’s not 100% self inflicted from his channel 🤣.
Oh and this guy is still buying cars a year later. Yeah definitely a legit enthusiast and not just trying to make money.
Well I, for one, liked the video.
You’d get your point across a lot better if you tried some actual journalism, not some shitty YouTube vid with a ghastly thumbnail. You can’t expect anyone to take that seriously, surely?
It’s his personal account on why he’s second guessing his car enthusiasm. How are journalistic standards expected there?
“Actual journalism” what does that even mean? Youtube IS a medium of communication that legitimate news outlets and journalist depend on to talk about various aspects of life.
This reminds me of a teacher that tried telling me Wikipedia wasnt a source. So I just used what Wikipedia used as my sources.
What a cringe video.
