Can veritasium just make educational videos and not keep doing this stupid "everyone is wrong I am so smart" clickbait?
I forget when his content turned into... This, but it's the reason I've unsubscribed. I'm guessing he realised he gets more views and so more money this way.
It might have been after the "erm actually" response he made to the speed of electricity video.
Yeah, when we tried to do the "gotcha" thing with electroboom where he was completely wrong on the main topic of his original video but "right" on a technicality because he framed it as a trick question. But conveniently didn't mention the "trick" in his original video. Jackass.
Yeah, at that point he 100% turned from a science channel to pure popsci. Go back a year or two, and the video instead would have honestly looked at that tiny spike in current and would have probably branched off into an explanation of inductance. Instead, he used it to farm hate clicks. Very disappointing.
