And I don't mean things you previously had no strong opinion about.

What is a belief you used to hold that you no longer do, and what/who made you change your mind about it?

I consider people who adopt to be basically heros. I can hardly think of a more selfless act than to give home to a child without one. That is an absolutely glorious thing for someone to do.

Unless they're a family vlogger. Screw those people.

Ultimately, the adoptee might still be in a "better position" in terms of food and shelter, but they lose privacy and anonymity, and are often treated like shit off camera (sometimes on)

What the hell are you talking about? What does adoption have to do with vlogging?

Some YouTubers will go and adopt a child and then vlog about their lives with said kid for views. It’s sad.
