Looks like I'm gonna have a LIVE debate with Vaush on Kurzgesagt propaganda at 1PM PT

Based, corporations and especially israelie companies.

I am really hoping this will encourage more healthy discourse. And that this criticism will not be dismissed.

Thanks for this. I will try to make improvements. The visual portion of my videos is the toughest for me. I just want to spent most of my time on my research and dive as deep into the topics as necessary. Appreciate your feedback

That's because I want to sell your supplements, Alex!

Agree here that if THO is moving toward investigative journalism, then the THO vibe needs to change, if you want to be taken more seriously, and less like a conspiratorial crazy, which people might think you are if they don’t actually listen to your content.

To me it felt irritating listening to the segment. It's as if vaush was pulling strawmen or something (intentionally or not). I also agree with mydarkstar's comment (I love the mystic vibe of your videos, but i can see how it may not be appropriate for discussions on controversial topics) Good job on defending your ground and keep up the good work! o7

I also liked that you had a conversation with Vaush. But I can only agree with 'mydarkstar'. It's really been a bit of a shame that the community thinks in such a "limited and linear" way and also Vaush wasn't really open to the whole thing but "in my opinion" provocatively blunt to just follow through that it's not true and that's it. You did really well despite all the negative people and definitely don't let it affect you. You are doing a very good job and a lot of people know that and also from time to time on Vaush his comments you see people saying that you had good points and they want to check out your channel. It was easily expected, the fans defend their "creator" and at the same time of course they don't want to admit to themselves (except for a few open people) that they are also a part of it. Even if this is nothing awful and can happen to anyone, many evaluate something like this as an attack. I also like the "Mr Robot-ish" style very much, as mydarkstar has said so nicely, but definitely for many people who are not used to such content could quickly put you in a wrong box. So stay as you are, keep it up (maybe adapt the other themes a bit xD) and thank you for your valuable work !

I was very surprised but happy to see this take place! It was an interesting discussion, and it was very nice to hear you reiterate your believes here. I do have to agree with Vaush on the point that the videos you create are sometimes stylized in a "mysterious" fashion that many conspiracy channels also make use of. This is not at all speaking of the contents, but rather the vibe they give off to someone who is not familiar with your person. However, I also felt quite sad that Vaush didn't seem to have properly looked into the topic you were going to talk about at all, coming off as unprepared and having to go through transcripts and posts during the talk. I believe this unpreparedness may have fostered the misunderstandings between you two, which could have perhaps gone a lot better otherwise. I also felt quite angered that the community chat of Vaush's channel had such poor manners, personally attacking you in completely unwarranted ways. I was relieved to see Vaush commenting on that after the talk and telling them it was inappropriate, but I wish the moderators of the channel took it into their own hands earlier. No matter whether Vaush normally interviews very different personalities who do argue in bad faith, and perhaps can be made fun of for that reason, there is no reason to extend such toxicity to others... But overall, I very much rejoiced in that you handled this situation so professionally and believe it was still quite a good talk, even with the difficulties! Great job! I hope that this perhaps also gives your channel some publicity and interested people find their way to more information. I also have to commend your rigorous stance on advertising and sponsorships, as well as their conflicts of interests. Although I really wouldn't mind sponsorships on this channel, as this can be done with integrity (very much dependent on the individual, of course) and because I want you to be well as a person, I felt very reassured and fortunate that you stand so strongly against the toxic wastewater that is the corporate and capitalist landscape and many of their products, etc., which continue to deserve to be called out and worked against! Thank you for your continuous, great work in this space! As a last note: While I always enjoyed the mystique and 'Mr Robot'-ish, dark vibe of your videos, which indeed is very engaging, fun, and perhaps better for clicks, now that you're diving into these topics outside of the privacy-sphere, perhaps it would be better to be more cautious with using that. I personally consider myself quite well-versed when it comes to general IT and privacy, as well as the workings behind them, working in the same field, so I can separate facts from BS more accurately (*cough* Braxman). And I'm sure that's true for a large part of this community too. However, when we're diving into very different topics, especially discussions around health care and vaccines, it is much harder to evaluate the accuracy of what's being said. And especially since there is a lot of controversy, as in actual conspiracy channels on YouTube, covering these topics, I believe it's much riskier to use a similar look to those channels. I also despise some of these 'optics games', but I believe this is something to seriously consider for the future. Now, have a great weekend! And thank you for the wider conversation. All the best, // mydarkstar P.S.: Actually cute voice today :)

I subscribed to you because you haven't sold out to Raid Shadow Legends

@thehatedone Are you on Nostr? If so npub?

spacedragon

I see it much more as a discouragement than an endorsement

The Hated One

PT - as in Pacific Time.

The Hated One

The IPCC statement clearly discouraged pursuing carbon capture, in that statement.

Phil

The statement was, pursuing carbon capture technology is a serious risk. Makes the case pretty clearly, that Kurzesagt ignored that.

Phil

Working great

1 PM GMT or which time zone?
