We still have time to stop the disaster.

I want to think so but I'm also very much afraid most people will misunderstand this for 'there is still a way to put things back like they used to be'. (edit: back the way they imagine things used to be)

Which would be a serious mistake, if not worse. Things have changed, and they keep on dramatically changing right before our very eyes. There is no turning back.

Your impact is huge.

Indeed, it all depends what everyone of us is willing to (not) do. The effort we're willing to put in.

Low effort content/cheap satisfaction is a thing. No matter how frowned upon saying that might be, the time wasted on making/consuming that low-effort content is a time that will never be available for use on more valuable/more demanding content.
