eric3579says...Call me disappointed *promote
siftbotsays...Self promoting this video and sending it back into the queue for one more try; last queued Tuesday, March 12th, 2019 10:40am PDT - promote requested by original submitter eric3579.
newtboysays...*quality exposé of some underhanded practices....
But....can we trust coffee break?
siftbotsays...Boosting this quality contribution up in the Hot Listing - declared quality by newtboy.
eric3579says...Here is the current AMA (ask me any question) on reddit w/ Kurzgesagt
https://www.reddit.com/r/kurzgesagt/comments/b0bgvj/ama_2_can_you_trust_kurzgesagt/?st=jt68rms0&sh=52f61d1f
and here are the complete emails https://imgur.com/a/UfrXBWq
After reading a bit of the AMA and the emails i'm not comfortable keeping this video posted. More digging than i want to do to try and figure what is what exactly.
siftbotsays...Permanently discarding this video - kill requested by eric3579.

newtboysays...Good for him. It's nice to see someone reevaluate their position and admit their mistakes publicly.....which is why it was so disappointing when Kurzgesagt pretended their correction video was all their idea and totally unrelated to and unprompted by coffeebreak asking about their mistakes.
Sadly the original angry video he's talking about is *dead....but maybe for the better.
I still would like a better answer about why Kurzgesagt, for years, left up a video he KNEW was misleading or just wrong and poorly researched than 'people said it helped them'....that's absolutely not an excuse to continue spreading misinformation, particularly when you pride yourself on being scientifically honest. He never even added a note to the video explaining that it was incorrect but somehow helpful, just left it up until he took it down after being called on it.
