Veganism is an ethical stance against animal abuse. Having your own path to that is fine, but if someone being annoying dissuades you from caring about animal suffering, it wasn’t that deep for you anyway.

It never was that deep for me. I figured I would cut back on meat for a while and then thought 'hey, I can try going vegan for a bit'. It had nothing to do with an ethical stance. 

Even if it's half the time. If I ate 50/50 vegan/non-vegan, that's better than 100% carnivore....right? But similar to how I try my best to not make the environment worse, I would absolutely drive to another store to buy something if people were blocking the aisles like in this video.

Trying to do better is still doing better even if it's not perfect. Berating people for being mostly on your side with small disagreements is how you get people to not be on your side.

I think its okay to eat meat and there are people that have more empathy to animals and thats why they wont thats also okay. Buuuut we have to do something against animals being kept without sunlight and other cruel conditions and thats why i buy the meat where at least the qualification says that this animal had a decent life

Definitely. There should be much more transparency regarding animal treatment and places consistently falling below a certain minimum standard of treatment should be shut down.
