Funny you mention her because in only subscribed recently. Her science news episodes are corny but very informative while lacking hype. Her deep dives are also informative, but a bit off topic sometimes.

Contrast that Two Minute Papers idiot. Every fucking video is hype, and he gets called out for it routinely. Everything is sO aMaZiNg... HOLD ONTO YOUR PAPERS! He once expressed awe at noise in an AI generated image. ๐Ÿคฆโ€โ™‚๏ธ That's when unsubscribed.

So compared to YouTubers like him, Sabine is a breath of fresh air. (Not that they cover the same topics, I'm just talking about tone and delivery.)

I unsubbed Veritasium when he made that video on electricity and the speed of light and didn't once mention induction. He went over the top to make it seem like magic. Fuck that guy. Unforgivable!

So true about two minute papers. I unsubbed from him so quick. Veratasium took a nose dive too, like you said.

Yeah that's why I'm sad about Sabine. She was so good for so long
