I wasn't very inclined to view Matt Ferrel's videos much in the first place. > I don't know what to tell you if you believe Thunderf00t's "debunking" is more valuable than your own viewing of any given channel. I'd love to see examples of him outright lying or misleading his audience if you have it, because that would certainly change my mind on recommending his channel to people. If we're going to try to pillory everyone trying to make a living off communicating STEM topics I'm not sure who we'll have left in the space. Regarding Veritasium, that is an even weaker argument IMO. I'd encourage you to look at many of his videos that cover basic things like how geothermal heating and heat pumps work. The question posed was about things for the intellectually curious, not for "who is the most accurate science communicator on YouTube" so I think including people who cover topics in a simple way are useful. Thunderf00t is someone who is on his own very problematic and misleading. I don't know what to tell you if you believe Thunderf00t's "debunking" is more valuable than your own viewing of any given channel. At the very least, it deserves the same kind of credibility as anything you might find on r/Futurology. I'm usually fairly allergic to more absolute statements (part of the reason I'm not such a regular viewer of Thunderf00t's), but even with the limited amount I've seen I'm pretty confident in writing off Undecided w/Matt Ferrel. I think it's safe to say he's not doing much of a critical evaluation of anything as he is just reading whatever cool sounding press releases he finds. I was always a bit leery due to the titles being a bit too accepting of anything you might find on r/Futurology, and then happened on a Thunderf00t Busted (not a regular viewer there either) about some of his videos and yeah. > This one is probably the most questionable. With Derek, you get exactly as much nuance as he thinks makes for a good story, and he does his best to leave you with the impression that's all there is. There's nothing inherently wrong with using those sorts of explanations, but when addressing such a wide audience with no expectation that they will be looking deeper later, I think it's very important to be clear about the limitations of the information provided. By high school style explanations, I mean those that are nearly outright lies, serve to help students work their way to the point that they can make use of the next more nuanced and complex explanation which is closer to the truth. All of that means credibility is particularly important there, and Veritasium completely lost my trust that he wouldn't try to slip advertising by me while pretending it's relatively unbiased information that's been checked in good faith.Įven before that, he seemed to me to tend a little too far towards fully selling high school style explanations, without making it clear that that's what he's doing. That sort of format is also particularly prone to causing me to drop my more rigorous filters. If I'm learning about something through somebody like Veritasium, it's not a topic I'm well versed in to begin with and it's unlikely that I'm going to pursue it all that much further independently. But his repeated issues with basically doing ad-spots as videos, and his lack of acknowledging the issue, really soured me on him. This one is probably the most questionable. I'd take exception to a couple inclusions. Familiar to a greater or lesser degree with most, but not all of those.
