Why Online Debate Culture Ruins Real Conversation (Goose Explains)

goose explains why online debates don’t feel like conversations anymore.

this video dives into how performative culture, identity, and algorithmic pressure turned talking into sparring. quote tweets, callouts, bad faith replies, all of it. goose looks at why people argue to win instead of connect, and why being right often matters more than being real.

curiosity takes time. honesty feels risky. goose is trying anyway.
