It's a little sad that we need to actually say this, but:

Don't be an asshole or you will be permanently banned.

Respectful debate is totally OK, criticizing a product is fine, but being verbally abusive will not be tolerated.

Focus on discussing the idea, not attacking the person.

Interesting video. Doesn't really get into the second half of their title very much but covers the problem pretty well. People in general are just more angry now. Politics, finances, health care (!!!), climate change, etc etc etc.

From a cyclist's perspective (my own) the fix would be MUCH more protected infrastructure. That only addresses the immediate, physical issue tho - and it would 100% be seen as at the expense of other stressed road users. It does nothing to address the collective mental brokenness we seem to all be sharing.

Ride with a visible camera: People usually stop being shitty when they see it.

Somebody needs to make (Or I need to do a better job searching for) a small camera that does forwards and backwards and uses a GoPro mount so I can stick it on top of my helmet. A regular GoPro is way too big/heavy and not bidirectional.

The GoPro Max is a 360 GoPro. I ride with one on my helmet

One of the 360 cameras? I just hate having another device to charge daily.

You could get an Insta360 but I heard the battery life is kinda not great unless you drop the resolution. You could also network Ghost Drift cameras.

I ride with a Ghost Drift XL because it's a robust, affordable solution but it does not do 360.
