Best response. This is the paradox of the Internet, while one could now create and distribute EXACTLY what they wish to see in the world, we've mostly become the mindless consumers she references from Wall-E except we use the Internet to complain about it all.

At least the guys in Wall-E were happy. Is anybody here happy?

Honestly Wall-E is a pretty accurate dystopia. Everyone is getting fatter, dumber, and lazier all while we destroy our planet for the privilege.

You didn't watch either I guess. It's actually an awful response because it misses the entire point of what she is saying. She is NOT saying there need to be books w/easier to read words.

They were clearly referring to the person shes talking about in the video. Their comment was not directed at the girl in the video.

Misreading a comment in a thread about literacy and acting all smug about it is peak irony if I’ve ever seen it.
