I’ve actively avoided Veritasium since the lightyear long wire video, when he made claims that were proven wrong by numerous other channels and then doubled down on them. Then he sold out to private equity and YouTube has a hard on for pushing their videos in to my feed regardless of what I was just watching. I go so far as to scramble in to the room to change it if I’m just listening to the TV from another room to avoid having YouTube add that shit to my algorithm harder
Claire Saffitz? Veritasium is next. Scary Interesting? Fern next? No Veritasium. Fern? Veritasium. Veritasium videos from years ago you’ve already seen, why not. That fucking light-year video again, fuck you.
His “light-year long” cable video did not make claims that were disproven. Veritasium correctly demonstrates the principles of electric field theory, fully as described by the Maxwell equations, and his follow up video demonstrates the effect much more clearly, because his first video was controversial for being misleading.
If you have an undergraduate level understanding of lumped element model of circuits, it’s understandable to see why this seems “wrong”, but that is not how physics works in reality when we look at the real analog world. If you don’t believe me, feel free to DM me and I can explain better. I work in analog electronics for audio and rf circuits and studied device physics as well.

That said, EVEN I have seen that video.

I mean, he did say he sold out to private equity cause he wanted to retire basically. His channel is basically now his retirement investment
You do know that you can block channels, right?
Fern is also sold out to some PE
