Veritasium. As soon as he put out a video with sponsored content where he lied with science I immediately knew he could no longer be trusted. I completely stopped watching his videos that day.
I kinda slowed down on his videos since that Tom Nicolas video, but I watched his video from a few days ago about blimps because blimps are cool. But it just seemed like a corporate ad. The amount of the video that's renders of products vs actual products is pretty bad.
It didn't feel like a science video about blimps, it felt like half blimp startup ad, half simple blimp explanation. I don't know, it just felt a little devoid of depth.
I would really like a channel that covers start-ups well, like explaining their idea and what they hope to accomplish then going into some of the challenges they face.
Far too many seem to be nothing but reading the press release and the first couple of paragraphs of Wikipedia.
