UPDATE:Kurzgesagt's official response: https://reddit.com/r/kurzgesagt/comments/10jlyyk/kurzgesagt_statement_to_the_conflict_of_interest/My response to Kurzg...
Its the internet, healthy skepticism is good, but not when it dismisses everything. I have never seen their videos and felt a particular bias.
The channel mainly just presents scenarios and explains natural processes. However this accusation sounds like exactly an accusation, and based on the reply from the head writer/founder I suspect its an unfounded accusation.
The accusation video i did not watch, because they are accusations, I cant prove.
I did read the reply from the channel and based on that response, the intent of the accusation is what my response based on.
I can’t get access their books to verify the claims but if the claim is about who is really paying the bills versus influencing the science delivered then to me valid data is more important than the funding.
Here the problem lies. You’re misjudging something without even looking into it. The video isn’t an accusation per se, but it proposes several recommendations to Kurzgesagt who failed to acknowledge any of them in his “response”.
The video in question is well sourced and documented, it would be a shame to make a final conclusion without looking into what prompted the discussion in the first place.

May I ask if you watched the video pertaining to the accusation?
