[โ] mudeth@lemmy.ca 7 points 2 years ago (3 children) Which video? permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 6 child comments replies: [โ] ItsPlasmaSir@lemmy.ml 25 points 2 years ago* (3 children) There was this one from a couple years ago that was about self-driving cars and also sponsored by Waymo. Tom Nicholas made a video which IMO does a good job of covering the problems with that video, and the broader implications of this kind of content on YouTube. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 6 child comments replies: [โ] snowe@programming.dev 8 points 2 years ago Ha, I wasn't even talking about that one. I think I stopped watching before then because he just went in deep with the sponsors and it was clear he wasn't actually caring about the science anymore. The one I'm talking about he 'proved' that wet wipes are flushable. permalink fedilink source parent [โ] snowe@programming.dev 3 points 2 years ago (1 child) here's the video. https://youtu.be/5zI9sG3pjVU?t=983 permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [โ] PipedLinkBot@feddit.rocks [B] 3 points 2 years ago Here is an alternative Piped link(s): https://piped.video/5zI9sG3pjVU?t=983 Piped is a privacy-respecting open-source alternative frontend to YouTube.

I had a bad taste in my mouth after his dandruff video which felt very corporate but I gave him the benefit of the doubt assuming that the science was solid. I guess my gut instinct was right. I still think a lot of his videos are good, it's just sad that the obviously sponsored ones are low quality. I'll check out the links and response video someone else posted and keep being skeptical. permalink fedilink source parent [โ] PipedLinkBot@feddit.rocks [B] 1 point 2 years ago Here is an alternative Piped link(s): https://piped.video/5zI9sG3pjVU?t=983 Piped is a privacy-respecting open-source alternative frontend to YouTube.

At the end he sets up a 'science experiment' to show that wet wipes are flushable, unlike what everyone says. And the way he 'proves' it is clearly a terrible way to prove it, but if you aren't thinking about it you'll agree.

I'll agree it's pretty dubious, but not enough to stop me enjoying their other content. But I have a pretty high skeptic quotient for everything online to begin with so, a little light shilling isn't enough to turn me off of a channel that's otherwise entertaining and often thought-provoking. That "experiment" definitely deserves the mythbusters treatment, though. Even if that brand breaks into pieces faster, that doesn't account for total breakdown or even what happens to its individual fibers after flushing. More data needed. permalink fedilink source parent [โ] PipedLinkBot@feddit.rocks [B] 0 points 2 years ago Here is an alternative Piped link(s): https://piped.video/5zI9sG3pjVU?t=983 Piped is a privacy-respecting open-source alternative frontend to YouTube.
