      I hate this so much,

      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.

        According to Wikipedia

        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.
