There just doesn't seem to much room for discussion unless you 100% agree with the view of a video's creator - which means there isn't room for discussion at all.

Of course, there are all sorts of things. I myself simply do not read and write comments under the videos of UA supporters, I watch such channels for the sake of the video itself, rather, I even search in YouTube search engine for the video I am interested in and do not pay attention to the channel itself. I subscribe and comment only on those channels where the author of the channel creates a story that I like, so I've only encountered UA coming to AA. I myself like discussions and debates, interesting arguments when both sides have a good grasp of the topic, can provide interesting arguments, quotes and links. An intellectual duel is always a beautiful thing.

One life, one love - until the world falls down.
