Tidal locking plus solar flares.

Every YouTube video from credible sources is filled with several unlikely ifs regarding habitable planets around red dwarfs. The odds are slim.

Also, in general, I avoid journalists informing me what scientists are saying and get my information straight from scientist communicators. Journalist income is based on advertising views, and they think that “new exoplanet probably does NOT have aliens” won’t generate sufficient ad revenue.
