Okay, maybe not getting rich, but yes, making money off YouTube. If he said one thing back then and has now flip flopped, why suddenly trust him because he’s singing your tune? If he either misinterpreted the facts a year ago, or didn’t even bother to look at the data, why would you trust him to look at it and interpret it properly now? There are different ways of using data, and Shock videos get more views.
I don’t trust anyone. So don’t think I’m suddenly a big fan of his because he might be saying things that I may agree with. I just thought your scaremongering comment was unjustified and I can’t see how you can back up that claim.
I watched his early videos, I didn’t necessarily agree with what he said, but could appreciate that he was stating the facts as he saw them at the time.
I think you are being unreasonable in your statement that he’s flip flopped his view. From what I can see, he's analysing data that is now simply showing the opposite of what he formerly believed. He’s learning, that’s what science is meant to be all about. He’s now forming his personal opinions on the up to date facts (not that he offers his personal opinions, but you can read between the lines), rather than being dogmatic and sticking to a story that is now clearly full of holes and BS.
Giving the bloke a hard time because he’s making a living off YouTube is just petty.
Not sure he’s making any shock videos either? I don’t subscribe, so I don’t maybe see every video, but I can’t recall any shock video titles or click bait, but I stand to be corrected ? His videos can be quite long at times, he’s not out for quick views in my opinion. There must be people that are interested in what he’s got to say, or he wouldn’t have gained so many subscribers.
