The titles on some of her videos manage to be too fishy for my taste, they appear a lot on my feed due to watching a lot of videos from channels like PBS Spacetime and The History Of The Universe, stuff like that.

You can tell that she knows her stuff, but clickbait titles somewhat like, I paraphrase here: "A year ago I lost my faith in science, here's why", raise my suspicions and I move on without clicking. Right on the blurry edge between science and something else beyond that line, something that's not quite legit and not good for you.

Same for me. I had watched one video of hers because I watch those same channels and afterwards i looked her up and saw the controversial shit. The clickbait doesn’t help her image either. Hard pass for me.

This is the conversation I needed to finally block (or "not recommend", or whatever YouTube calls it) her videos on my feed.

Astrum also sometimes gives me an uneasy feeling, but so far the content appears to be solid, although I don't watch all his videos.

Hey, let me recommend one of the best channels out there in the vast sea of science/history YouTube content, the name is ParallaxNick.
He's been doing incredibly well-research videos on the history of astronomy, recently he's been doing a series that went into detail on Copernicus, Tycho Brahe, Kepler and Galileo, I suspect (fingers crossed tight) he's gonna follow with Newton, then Huygens, Halley and the Herschels.
