Having an independent media is essential to quitting cars. I've never heard a discussion on quitting cars on the nightly news, but on YouTube this discussion is made possible. YouTube de-ranking independent media in favor of traditional media could really limit the growth of the "fuck cars" movement.

"I've never heard a discussion on quitting cars on the nightly news"

I've never heard a discussion on quitting cars anywhere offline, to be completely honest.

The amount of people who currently drive cars who think to themselves, "You know what would be better? If I were sitting on some form of public transit right now..." is a very small portion of the real world population I assume (In North America)

Sometimes, the internet is not real life...

You're looking at it backward. I think almost everyone who sits in traffic or nearly gets in a crash by someone doing something stupid thinks, "Driving is awful." They've just been conditioned to think there's no alternative.

>>diggin+RB1
more likely they think 'rush hour is awful' or 'traffic is awful', i highly doubt they would prefer to experience the same density of bodies traveling on the bus or train.

You can't exactly replicate the density of congested cars as people on buses...
