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).

    I would not consider reactionary youtube videos to be a reasonable place for the consideration of the validity of a scientific claim. So many are just propaganda and misinformation. Note: The youtube account is using the video to push a questionable investment scheme.

      Thank you, I was about to post the same thing.

      Youtube videos like this is the modern equivalent of getting medical advice from a random person in a bar you have never met before about 20 minutes before closing time.

      Yes, there is a replication problem in science but youtube is not the place to get information about it.

      Yes the ads is quiet bad. I didn’t know this was a reactionary youtube channel. Do you have any information of the video content being false?

        That is not how it works. You are the one posting dubious claims, it is your own job to back up those claims with actual evidence.

          I’m losing faith of this community. It’s like far right people deniing reality and pushing weird agenda like: red eye in thumbnail so it must be wrong.

          All the points that have read here aren’t addressing the content but weird stuff.

          Maybe https://retractionwatch.com/2023/10/02/nobel-prize-winner-gregg-semenza-tallies-tenth-retraction/ is also wrong for you and all the rest of the world. I’m not gonna take time to answer toxic people like you who are not even trying…

          It was my mistake to post this here. I take full responsibility and will not interact any more as I can see how reddit-like lemmy has become since the rise of lemmy.world. You can just ignore me or keep spitting your venom with 0 argument.

    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.

        I can see trying to address scientific fraud is frown upon here.

        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.
