> As it has become more and more untenable for anti-EV propagandists to deny the air quality benefits of EVs, a common refrain from them has become “but tailpipe emissions aren’t everything, what about brakes and tires, huh?!”

What is this website? Tell me about the story, don't argue with imaginary haters and trolls. The writing is so poor there.

When I tried Threads for a bit I was getting almost entirely this kind of content (not just about EVs but these kind of inaccurate concern-trolling bad-takes about renewable energy etc. also) - I think its algorithm was targeting me with it because it was trying to rage-bait me into responding because that's "engagement".

Used to see a bit of it on Twitter before it went downhill under Musk and I abandoned it, but its algorithm used to be better at keeping that kind of stuff mostly siloed so mostly people who wanted to see it would.

There are plenty of these sorts of comments here on this post.

So that nonsense didn't even help? Great.
