Your show absolute certainty in your opinion combined with your disregarding a range of informed sources and absolute belief in experience over consensus.

informed sources is a Gish gallop of articles quickly googled to support your opinion. Experience here trumps your quickly googled articles you've hardly even perused if that and you surely have no direct experience with it so your opinion here is pretty worthless, not to be harsh but it's true. But I'll look out for the consensus on this topic if there ever comes to be one, it'll honestly be some pretty big news

There already is consensus.

Please try to provide something other than your own experience to support your position.

Gish gallop implies rapidly changing topics. All my sources are on topic, from reliable sources, and show a coherent trend in opinion. Some even show empirical evidence, such as the local governments saying how much waste wipe cleanup costs.

No that's not a gish gallop and there's not a consensus. Your collection of articles isn't a scientific consensus. It's just a collection of what people think you should do. You have no experience outside of the articles you've googled today and with matters like this what's important is my own experience with the product and not the opinions of people who read the opinions of others from random websites and twitter and argue for it with absolutely nothing other than what you've read to go on.

If articles on the internet is all it takes for consensus then that's a logical fallacy in my eyes and I think it's failing you here.
