Maybe not that interesting for everyone here, but I found no better community for this.

    $11 billion

    0.05%

    “A small loan of a million dollars.”

    Does any of that matter in this situation, anyway? Exaggerating their content in exchange for money already places question on their reliability as an educational content creator.

      I don’t think you understood what they’re saying. Try reading it again.

      Hint: the investment of $11 billion refers to investment of Gates Foundation in fossil fuels.

        per Kurzgesagt,

        For Kurzgesagt sponsorships are an important part of our yearly budget, representing about 20% of our income last year.

        the 0.05% figure is wrong, according to the people making the money themselves.

        Hint: the investment of $11 billion refers to investment of Gates Foundation in fossil fuels.

        Well, considering these exact words were used:

        That foundation owns over $11 billion in investments in the fossil fuel industry, including coal-burning utility companies.

        What can I say but duh. If I misunderstood anything, it was the comment I replied to, which was unclear about the “0.05% down from 6%” detail, and seemed to be associating that with the $11 billion figure by context.

        But hey, nice deflection, and super cool of you to be that rude about it, too.
