Veritasium has really gone down hill. I honestly think it started when he did the video on “clickbait” and actually realized how much more lucrative it was to make shittier clickbaity content than make straightforward science content.
It went from “here’s why magnetism is just electric field + relativity” to “I buried myself in cement - you won’t believe what happens!”
???? His recent videos have been nothing but great. His knot, IQ, Oppenheimer, entropy, and maze solving videos (and more) are all recent and amazing videos. What's your criticism against him?
to be fair the last video, the nuclear near misses one, did seem like a bunch of things stuffed together to make... something? I guess the people who didn't know about it will find it interesting but it's easy to see the difference from the old videos, the ones about niche topics with very in depth explanations
still, most of the other videos are great
That video is a thinly veiled listicle.
