The whole channel should have way more views. Science fraud is a topic that scientists knows and talk about but it is always vague and it’s hard to point at precises cases due to lack of documentation (and journalists in general).

    The whole channel should have way more views.

    Maybe the creator Pete Judo should lean on his behavioral science and psychology background to find out why it doesn’t.

    For me, the reason I’m not going to watch it is because the title and thumb scream “social media conspiracy theorist” rather than the seriousness and professionalism the topic rightly deserves.

    Glowing red eyes? How am I supposed to believe this is a serious and/or constructive criticism of a huge genuine problem?

      I guess you would hate every single leftist channel in France with that. Maybe I misunderstood the overall position of this community. I can see trying to address scientific fraud is frown upon here.

        I hate any cheap tricks used to provoke emotional responses as a method of generating engagement. I especially hate when the person using them boasts a background that implies their use is very intentional.

        Maybe I misunderstood the overall position of this community.

        I wouldn’t know, I’m nobody’s ambassador.

        But you have certainly misunderstood mine. Addressing scientific fraud is entirely worthwhile and necessary.

        I just won’t be choosing a source for that who I suspect is deliberately manipulative and pushing dodgy investment schemes. His entire brand looks like a desperate attempt to be seen as an authority on anything at all.
