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

        Yea, nah, it absolutely is. They often sneak in bad information and poorly interpreted data to fearmonger (see their nuclear power “educational” videos where they instill fear) and other such things. They’re just like some other science channels. Like veritasium, which shilled out for Waymo. Just because the animations are very very nice doesn’t mean you shouldn’t confirm the information they present, and quite often it’s wrong on purpose to butter up the right people. If you don’t believe me, that’s okay. They’re not dangerous like pseudoscience channels. Most things they present are good. I just hate that they mix in BS.

          You’re using a lot of weasel words and zero sources for someone arguing we should all fact check things.

          I’m not even saying your wrong, but your going to have to do a lot more than that to convince me that “they’re known for” everything you just said, because that sounds like you have a very specific beef with them that overshadows everything else they’ve ever done (in your estimation) and your projecting that as a universal truth, when really it’s not.

          I respect your opinion, but there are certainly far more worse channels than there are better ones, and they’re known for being one of the better ones.

          edit: If this is what you’re trying to say, I agree with you: https://lemy.lol/comment/21580850
