Kind of tired watching trash from YT.

Edit: Thanks for all the replies. It's good to see that there are still gems in YouTube.

Kurzgesagt tends to push a lot of pseudoscience (e.g. carbon capture tech) and other stuff following the investment interests of their founders.

I like their animation style and honestly I wish they used proper data sources, however if you check the sources they mention on some of their more dubious videos they all come from some made up source.

This is particularly upsetting with everything related to parroting whatever Bill Gates is pushing (artificial meat, carbon capture, inequality is the teacher's fault, climate change isn't that bad, etc.)

Good to know, thanks for the info!

In that case: Skeptics guide to the universe and their sister channel alpha quadrant six

Adding on to this; There's a video by The Hated One who initially broke this story.

Have you watched their response?

Ys. It didn't feel very convincing, nor did they actually address the issue of them citing a company Bill Gates owns in order to support another one he owns.
