Pop science and informational YouTube channels...full of misinformation. - When the fact checking is worse than Buzzfeed

Emp is an incompetent fuck so I dont know why you thought he isnt a sperg.

Again, the difference between the history of ideas/analysis of cause/effect ideas and being an informative historian. If youre gonna do an informative video (informative, not argumentative function) like in the thread, you should be as unbiased as possible. Where being an "old school journalist" isn't a bad thing. Historia Civilis doesn't tend to leave information out, but he's still very biased when it comes down to it, which weighs down his content and brings it to a mildly spergy level.

On a different note, Mark Felton is one of the worst when it comes to tank warfare and... anything in general. See his video where he claims the nazis created time travel. He doesn't cite any sources and appeals to plebbit for views. As bad as a few of these guys are, they don't match him in level of uselessness.

Hey there is a place to talk about youtube lolcows here on kiwifarms.

There are alot of history liking spergs and even a few actual academics on KF so I see this thread doing well.

Ridddle is some YouTube documentary channel that make a lot of what if videos with terrible science. It's based in Russia and goes out of its way to fish for advertisers in the video descriptions. Some of them are hilarious saying they'll take ads for 1 million dollars. It's the channel that kurzgesagt ended up making a reply to their bullshit "What would happen if you set off a nuke in the Marianas Trench?" video

And the kurzgesagt reply that caused Ridddle to add "fantasy not science" to the title when they realised they'd been called out.

They're still at it today though, it looks like they released a climate change video 4 days ago that's probably full of bullshit.
