Someone is mentioned on Lemmy and there is always a drive by comment saying don’t support X or X is a bad person with no context whatsoever. No mention of what specifically they are accused of doing/saying, no way to figure out if that clashes with your values or not, no documentation etc.
And subjectively it feels like half the time I research why this might be true it’s debatable at best, I assume because if there was compelling evidence the person doing the drive by would have linked it.
He created fake science experiments to sell products and slipped them into normal videos, like the video where he claimed wet wipes are flushable, then created a fake experiment “proving” they were flushable. He’s incredibly untrustworthy and also, not a scientist! He’s an art major or business, can’t remember which.
In 2004, Muller graduated from Queen’s University in Kingston, Ontario, with a Bachelor of Applied Science in Engineering Physics. Muller moved to Australia to study film-making; however, he instead enrolled for a PhD in physics education research from the University of Sydney, which he completed in 2008 with the thesis, Designing Effective Multimedia for Physics Education.

Lemmy sometimes feels like one big ball of barely seething social outrage.
So many didn’t grow out of their “I’m so special and unique, I don’t follow the mainstream” teenage phase and it really shows.

According to Wikipedia
He himself claimed he’s not a scientist so /shrug
And why would that be?
Personally, I just don’t like the guy and his vibes. But I wouldn’t tell random people online to avoid him, he’s not that bad.
There was also that self-driving car video which turned out to be really scummy.

people are annoyed that he sold to a venture capital business
but then not realizing that so far, their quality improved, while also releasing more videos
production value increased, quality took a nose dive.
which is funny because that’s most established content on YT, whether you realize it or not.
people still think that youtubers with 100k+ subs do all the work themselves
Edit: sorry people, santa is also not real
absolutely not, but not all are owned by venture capital
