Some would argue this is a conflict between ideal activism and effective activism.
A) If not using twitch and youtube then they’d only appeal to enthusiasts and people who already have joined the case but on the other side it is not alienating to the hard core supporters or aggress on their digital neutrality.
B) If using youtube and twitch they can reach a grander audience as well as over time maybe make effective political change that obliterates youtube and twitch entirely and opens up a brighter future.

Why should they pander to you specifically? How many like you are there to engage, and how much of a resource would a person like you be? Are people like you what to focus on for effective change?
These are things you need to consider.
I don’t think it is asking to pander. Moreso that they are a digital rights group who should probably start boosting independent privacy respecting tech instead of just fighting big tech and government. They do important work of course. But that is one area where they could greatly help their own cause.

I’m not trying to argue. It’s something to think about.

I understand. Hope you got stuff fully off your chest
