Reply to comment by Oldjamesdean in A rare reason for optimism about climate change by aRationalMoose
people cite AC specifically as problematic for the climate, and a circular problem since more AC is needed in a warming world, but the tech seems wildly inefficient compared to what's possible with modern technology - I'm glad people like you are reducing consumption through sensible adjustments
I wish there were systemic efforts to make these changes

>Do we really need celebrities to sell it to us??
The idealism in us wants to say "of course not" but consider an experiment: Put this exact quote on any social media in three versions:
- No pictures, only text
- With celebrity picture
- With picture of random unrecognizable person
Which version will automatically drive engagement? And how wide is the gap: a tiny fluctuation, or an astronomical difference?
I wish streaming services weren't presented by graphical tiles and users like me would have to read text synopses to decide what to watch. I imagine that's a very unpopular opinion and nothing like what I want will ever happen.
I was taught it's wrong to judge a book by the cover, but our entire society has deliberately embraced that wrongness at every opportunity.

Just like the automobile and the computer.
