Interesting to see a video like this is getting downvoted at all.

Yeah... well (we have to admit) the 'hole' quantum part was very long and VERY nerdy for a whole lot of people. (Their loss.)

I didn't downvote, but I hate videos being posted in the science community. Should be articles. This post belongs on a video community.

I'm not downvoting, but neither am I seeking out Veritaseum videos

Well, I don't know anything about the creator of this video but it was a nice little documentary. However if they have/had some controversial things, I see where you're getting at.

I haven't heard anything controversial about him, and I feel like I would have. Obviously I could have missed something though.

He got called out a few years ago for releasing biased corporate ads disguised as educational content, essentially milking his reputation and audience for a payout

Do you have a source? I watch the channel quite a bit and haven't heard about the controversy at all.

I know he got called out for his waymo video by another youtuber, Tom Nichols. Dont know if thats what themusicman is referencing

[–] [email protected] 6 points 9 months ago

Yeah that's the one. I still enjoy his content, but it leaves a sour taste
