    Watched a couple minutes which is about my limit but this vid actually looks good. Will try to watch some more of it later.

      Their videos always look good, but leave me somewhat empty. It’s a glossy, polished production on topics you might know enough of the details already, or are better off finding someone more competent and longer-form video/information.

      Also this whole video is very clickbait-y. Do finish it, and you’ll see how it basically transforms into an ad, while their premise that AI is killing their channel is somewhat paper-thin - they’re a pretty famous and high-traffic channel, have their eye-grabbing and unique graphics going for them.

        yeah, just put out accusations and false information online with no source whatsoever. This is exactly what they are talking about and you are fueling it.

        No idea about that, but I stopped watching them once I realized that, at least for their speculative topics, they just pull things out of their arse and present it with the same definitivity as the actually well-researched parts. Once you notice, it’s hard to stop noticing.

        It wasn’t that extreme, there were a lot of questions about how they disclosed their funding. They made multiple videos for the gates foundation, but didn’t disclose it until the end of the video, which is considered bad practice.

        My understanding is they have some funded videos and some self researched. I lean on the side of, take what they say with a grain of salt and research funding and motives, instead of saying fuck them completely. Of course, if people want to shun them, I won’t put up a fight.
