S2 E13 - Tell Me What I Want To Hear

Send us Fan MailI use YouTube all of the time for so many reasons. Well as I was using it today, I noticed something was missing: you could no longer see how many dislikes a video had. I've used that to gauge the credibility of a channel many times, especially tech reviews or how to videos. The reason YouTube gave for doing this? They did not want to contribute to "hostility" or "hate speech". So essentially what they just said is that if you don't like something or disagree, it's hateful. We'd rather just be told what we want to hear than be challenged or corrected. Well...it's not different when it comes to doctrine and the Word. So many don't want to be told the truth, but would rather beleive a lie. We can be guilty of finding somoene who will just repeat what I already beleive rather than challenging me to actually understand the truth. May we never shrink back from the truth, or interpret someone speaking the truth as being hateful or hostile. #SetYourMindAbovePodcast
