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

    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

      That + entertainment over information quality. I’m not here to convince anybody, my goal was to make y’all think twice about just blindly trusting theor videos. They’re the Linus Tech Tips of the science channel world.

        Right so you say everyone should source all their work but then claim very specific things about the channel and then refuse to provide sources.

        Interesting.

        But I guess as long as you’re not here to try and convince anyone that what you’re saying is true it’s okay for you to just say anything regardless of validity. That’s very political of you, well done.

          I literally never said everyone should source all their work. You’re reading between the lines. What I said is that SOME science channels sneak in misinformation and shilling in their videos which are otherwise educational and most of the time very accurate.
