The whole channel should have way more views. Science fraud is a topic that scientists knows and talk about but it is always vague and it's hard to point at precises cases due to lack of documentation (and journalists in general).

I would not consider reactionary youtube videos to be a reasonable place for the consideration of the validity of a scientific claim. So many are just propaganda and misinformation. Note: The youtube account is using the video to push a questionable investment scheme.

Thank you, I was about to post the same thing.

Youtube videos like this is the modern equivalent of getting medical advice from a random person in a bar you have never met before about 20 minutes before closing time.

Yes, there is a replication problem in science but youtube is not the place to get information about it.

Yes the ads is quiet bad. I didn't know this was a reactionary youtube channel. Do you have any information of the video content being false?
