I've been finding his content hasn't been as good for the last couple years, maybe just from the random rants he tosses in for no reason. Then he went on a little rant recently about how he isn't making as much money from YouTube anymore and I unsubscribed.

I think they just gave very valid reasons to include sms in signal, adoption. It took me years to get my contacts on signal and I was finally at the point that >80% of my messages were encrypted, that dropped to <10% the day sms was dropped. If I refused to use sms I would effectively be cutting contact with my family.

It's not a matter of believing you or not. You were asked a simple question and you repeatedly didn't answer it while ending every comment with an insult as if the person you were responding to was an idiot.

I don't even disagree with you entirely, I don't think it's as big of a problem as you made it out to be but I don't think you're incorrect. You can make those points without being condescending though because the way you're replying will just make people dig their heels in.

No it doesn't. They asked for proof of a place that it has happened, you've provided proof of places where it could happen. That still doesn't change that it's incredibly unlikely for an entire neighbourhood to replace all their vehicles in a short period of time and even more unlikely that they would all be EVs.
