    SED also uses the clickbait tactics, so I wouldn’t exactly consider them an ubiased source. They’re also all profiting from these tactics. Let’s not pretend it’s just some virtuous sacrifice to “teach the kids”.

      Correct. But at least we all can agree that the OG pillars of sciTube (and adjacent content) who keep it fresh with their unique forever updating style are the less guilty of those tactics: 3blue1brown, Vsauce, CGP Grey, Steve Mould, Matt Parker, Numberphile & 3 or 4 more that escape the tip of my tongue. They all do this for a living, but only one created a loot box and all profits go to research.

        Veritasium has gotten really bad on that front. It used to be really educational, but now it’s a lot of bullshit stuff that doesn’t matter that he’s doing for the clicks. I’ve mostly stopped watching that channel now.

          I still watch him, but for this reason I did not include him on the list.
