Consider Cadel Evans. In my opinion, I don't think he doped. He was always in the conversation with Vinokourav, Ullrich, and the other top guys. For years.
He eventually won, but the sport was much cleaner by then.
I was a huge Armstrong fan. When I heard that Hincapie admitted to doping, I knew it was over. Over because Hincapie was always Lance's right-hand man, and also over because Armstrong wouldn't go after Hincapie.
I think Armstrong was one of the best cyclists ever, but he is tarnished now just like the others. It's a cruel sport.
Case closed.
General nutrition information is getting better every year, and I think in the next 5-10 years, there will be a mainstream discussion over this issue.
When I want to read up on some news, I go to the publisher's site directly or to a preferred aggregator, which is not going to be facebook/twitter/etc.
Advertised content is typically very poor, and really not worth defending.
You are outlining the benefits, but JavaScript is very different from other languages and can be hard to understand, let alone master all of the libraries based on it.
If you can address those issues, then you may be able to convince your lead.
I've been on both sides of the coin here. When deciding on a platform or language, I usually choose what is going to be the easiest to use, or what has a high adoption rate which will provide the documentation and Q&A information online.
Spotify is a dedicated music app in comparison, and is designed that way. The catalog isn't as big as YouTube's, but YouTube isn't designed for the user to catalog their personal music.
Youtube provides ad-free video, but I don't think the ad's are very intrusive for videos compared to listening to music, where it can definitely be annoying.
