@Boomslang321 its called spreading the word, since when has that been cheating? And, btw, videos don't get picked on the number of views or likes, they get reviewed from judges at planet connect.

I think some people have no idea what 4XxMETALGEARSOLIDXx2 was talking about, probably because he was overly vague and obnoxious. The making of smartphones has contributed to human rights and/or worker violations in both China and Africa. People have died. It is much too complicated to explain on a Youtube comment, and this isn't really the place anyway. Regardless, these gentlemen are talking about using smartphones already on the market.

@4XxMETALGEARSOLIDXx2 Hm...have you noticed that most of the people appearing in the video are Chinese? Or that the video didn't actually promote the exploitation of workers by smartphone companies? And that the video was about using the applications and tools on a smartphone, and not about the actual process of making a smartphone? Oh, and do you have a phone made in China by any chance?

@4XxMETALGEARSOLIDXx2 And shame on you for stereotyping Chinese and Africans workers...that they are "wasted" (what does that even mean?) and that they're the only ones who make smart phones

[Natsu0fFairyTail]

@4XxMETALGEARSOLIDXx2 Well since all these smartphones are being manufactured anyway, why not use them for a good cause?

[4XxMETALGEARSOLIDXx2]

The smartphone thing is a bad point. I mean, I guess it doesn't matter if the lives of thousands of Chinese and African workers are wasted in the attempt to release less carbon.
