Physicist Reacts to YouTube’s Science Scam Crisis

[@cocolove9916]

I hate all the fake science channels popping up it’s disgusting. Glad you’re part of the small group of science based channels I watch.

[@yungbloodas3789]

What’s crazy is how KZbin tries to censor what he’s saying/exposing.

[@charliegabs]

KZbin makes money from junk content that generates lots of views with little effort

[@Nopejams]

The fact you’re so humble to say you wont learn anything. I am a graduate researcher and you are great quality sir

[@31olegna]

That stuff about the doctor scared the life out of me...

[@VysesDarkheart]

the 2x speed for 50% of the video was a bummer.. couldnt really finish it.. but half of the video was pretty good!

[@YuriChan-428]

I found your channel randomly right now and you have a subscription! I am IT, so kind of science, I know about chemistry, physics, electronics, but space is my passion! I can talk about spectral classifications of stars and about the nuclear fusion for hours! So true, this content of yours fits me well!

[@danielloader3351]

I understand that sometimes science in the public eye needs to be a little more light hearted but science is also supposed to be something reputable and trustworthy. Most laypeople won't be able to discern the bullshit from the actual science and that's where the problem lies. Kurzgesagt is an excellent channel because of this, they try to deliver as factual as possible information in an entertaining and lighthearted (though existential at times) format in a way that most people can understand. Science communication is extremely important and when scam channels capitalise on the ease of clickbait videos more and more people can be led down the wrong path leading to the dunning kruger effect and in more extreme cases, complete scientific delusion (Spirit Science, astrology, quantum mystics, anti-vax, etc). Either way, love the videos man, and your Kurzgesagt reaction spam is fine because it's quality content

[@et2124]

Hey! Just wanted to say your videos got waaay better over the years. Great progress!

[@zoltanmeksz7625]

Hi Dylan! You stopped, or what?

[@KC.801]

I think he did there’s been no sign of him

[@froqwo4851]

It used to just be Ridddle, who brought the kind of exaggeration. But now there's a million channels that's just a crisis of mass productive scam.

[@MrMcSnuffyFluffy]

This is an AI problem, and it's going to get exponentially worse. If I detect any type of AI generated content, anywhwere, I'm out.

[@Hsarus]

Hey man thanks for you're interesting reactions and corrections. There's this one youtuber that is pretty good talking about space Anton Pentrov. I wonder if your thoughts and faqs would align with him.

[@joelmu13]

Idk if you're making science cooler but definitely making it sexier 😜 also how bad must a person's critical thinking be to just trust anything they see online.

[@VeganAncientDragonKnight]

Nah, the guy is making science much hotter!

[@wincile]

I love your channel. Relaxed and funny.

[@spiguy]

What's funny is Ridddle isn't AI spam because there actually is a team behind them allegedly, but it is an offender on similar accounts.

[@C.Church]

I saw the video you're reacting to a few months ago and recognized TheSimplySpace in there. My science education is one atronomy class 16yrs ago, one physics class 14yrs ago, and loads of biology up to microscopic biology, organismal biology amd microbiolgy. Lower level classes. I'm a C student. I am DISTURBED a medical doctor thought thse vids were real. Over a year ago I was one of SimplySpace commenters complaining about the clickbait titles and stopped watching at one too many JW telescope titles saying obviously wrong things. A medical doctor???

[@LRR-333]

Hi Dylan, what are your thoughts on IQ test's and if you consider them objective, would you recommend taking them? if so, "any place" you recommend to take it? thank you, for taking your time if you see this comment.

[@Giselle33888]

Dylan we need science, come back 😢 human brains need You

[@juicebox6398]

Come back with a banger video “physicist reacts to skateboarding”

[@eb2151]

Why some of the science crowd don’t like when you do this and what and this why you’re on KZbin and what is science crowd

[@ygameryhd7816]

Your videos are amazing dont worry about the haters!

[@skiffy9833]

Can you please do a video on the UFO/UAP hearings that happened this week in Congress

[@VysesDarkheart]

I guess dylan just went ghost

[@toddy914]

Dont think he's so entusiastic on his YT channel when he only gets 5k views per vid.

[@VysesDarkheart]

I think he has huge potential, I am really bummed.@@toddy914

[@Xbitxx]

Hey can you do a video on the whole David Grusch situation involving information about aliens

[@pravadesh1]

Thanks for the laugh. I was curious to find out who was making these crap-sci videos...found 'cosmos lab'...ironically yours was right beside the AI generated videos. You put up Thor, and he addressed the same concerns as I have. So I know I'm on the right track. You did mention something that struck me...the 'bullshit detector'.....in this country 15% of the population has an education beyond high school....'low BS sensitivity'.....of the 15% half complete a degree, midrange bs sensitivity, and an even lower number go beyond....Even doctors can be fooled. Fortunately AI is in its infant stage, silly bots....poor language skills...so for those who are concerned questions are raised. What happens when we can't see the BS?

[@NPassosiation]

Hawkin a menace? 😂

[@jeepz669]

Looking lean n' mean broski 👌

[@VeganAncientDragonKnight]

Right? Our guy is looking hung af!

[@jasonjara8973]

"I don't fit the common nerd stereotype" ok buddy

[@Guus115]

Doctors are really not that smart

[@kripto8231]

yes those videos are annoying. i click don't recommend channel and it usually help.

[@aloevanpaemelen2689]

I wanted to react on another video but it wasn’t possible. The video of you eeacting to the dimension video. You said your allways passing through time, but time is a human made concept. Time is not really there, since if time really was like a place or something, we could go to that place of yesterday, but we can’t because that place is the same place as the place we are in now. Time is just there because of movement and actions. That’s how we can like have different parts in time. But like if there was absolutely nothing, like no molecules nothing, there would not be time, because the only way to use time is to see how thing act and move. So time is more like a performance of acts. A clock performs the movement of the sun. Now that kid was saying that if there is no movement, there is nog time since time is a performance of acts.

[@aloevanpaemelen2689]

Hope you understand what I’m saying. I don’t speak English a lot

[@victprl12345]

Im glad im not subscribed to any of these channels

[@KamuiPan]

I'm still waiting for that reply about my light hypothesis that I did on a comment in a prior video. I know is not your duty or anything but as a physicist I would think a outside idea would be appreciated, I guess not. Not even a "you're wrong"...

[@shut_up700]

First

[@KingOfGamesss]

Unless thousands of other People didn't care about being "First"

[@Rctdcttecededtef]

@@KingOfGamessshe still first

[@KingOfGamesss]

@@Rctdcttecededtef is she?

[@misere4]

being sarcastic in psychology is pretty much career suicide 🫡🙃
