A similar thing also happened before to CGP Grey with Adam Something (https://youtu.be/oafm733nI6U), though I would argue that I didn’t think CGP Grey had any secret agenda, it was just overreaching.
That said, even the people I mention here they are also biassed in their own ways or they tend to now and then throw a foul ball.
I simply felt that both Veritasium and Kurgesagt are very good at convincing of certain opinions shared with their promoters.
Veritasium tends to push stuff that’s relatively promotion - based. Not so different to kurzgesagt.
I’ve seen a couple of rebuttals from his videos that were sobering.
EDIT: That said he’s a great communicator and his black hole video helped me a lot trying to make sense of it.
Do you happen to have a link to any of the rebuttals? I watch him a lot so I’m curious.
This is one I found: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CM0aohBfUTc, they go a bit with the Veritasium guy in the comments.
