The first time I spoke to Erin Janus, she said to me —as I recall— that she'd never seen a critic of the vegan movement who was indeed vegan before. That was many years ago (and Erin Janus herself is now no longer vegan) and pretty much every thesis I've had to state about what's wrong with the movement —in principle and in praxis— has been expressed clearly, again and again, both in deadly earnest and (often enough) as satire and parody.
Today I see that two people unsubscribed from my channel while watching my latest video, that had the modest sum of 1,500 viewers when I checked (the title of the video in question being: Stop donating money to Earthling Ed: he's a liar and a goon).
One person unsubscribed while watching The Vegan Movement: Failed Strategy, Failed Tactics.
Another one person unsubscribed while watching my critique of Joey Carbstrong (Joey Carbstrong is Wrong: Anthropology, Ethnography, Revolution).
Fully three people unsubscribed while watching The death and rebirth of the vegan movement: a FIVE HOUR conversation with Sky.
I emphasize "while watching": if someone made up their mind later (even if just a few seconds later, after closing the window playing the video) the statistic wouldn't be tracked in this way.
These are small numbers, but it's nevertheless worth saying: HOW IS IT POSSIBLE that this is still news? How is it possible that my message (on this topic) is still shocking TO ANYONE, especially someone who had already subscribed to my channel?
