      I’ve actively avoided Veritasium since the lightyear long wire video, when he made claims that were proven wrong by numerous other channels and then doubled down on them. Then he sold out to private equity and YouTube has a hard on for pushing their videos in to my feed regardless of what I was just watching. I go so far as to scramble in to the room to change it if I’m just listening to the TV from another room to avoid having YouTube add that shit to my algorithm harder

      Claire Saffitz? Veritasium is next. Scary Interesting? Fern next? No Veritasium. Fern? Veritasium. Veritasium videos from years ago you’ve already seen, why not. That fucking light-year video again, fuck you.

      That said, EVEN I have seen that video.
