I noped out around 18 minutes when she uses the fact that people get into email arguments as some kind of evidence that this is worse than face-to-face arguing.
I also found the idea that we're our "worst selves" online to be very privileged and hetero-centric. I've spent too much time online with people who are closeted in various ways in "meatspace" and their true selves only emerge online. Yeah, I know, majority and all that, but making the argument in such absolute terms feels like it's leaving out people we both care about.
Sorry
