I used to love Kurzgesagt but I just don't like their videos anymore, and I'm not sure why. They definitely make the kind of content I enjoy, always did and still do, but when I try to watch any of their videos from the last 3-4 years I just don't like it. I also get this feeling that they are kinda smug about their popularity and how famous they are, it's weird.
I unsubscribed after they put out a vid that felt like an unmarked ad for the cyberpunk game
I feel the same. If I had to put a finger on it, I would say it is since the time they parted ways with the german "GEZ". Wiki GEZ
They recently repeated establishment disinformation about drugs. Didn't address the real problem. They pro status quo bias and hide behind science justifications.
They're good, but they're stretching the sauce and don't get to tge bottom of things that are too controversial even if high probability of being true.
"hide behind science justifications" maybe I'm misunderstanding you, but isn't basing opinions and world views on science exactly what people should be doing?
There's science in the imagination and tgere's real science which only makes grants request to questions where the answer is something a politician wants to hear.
I feel the same way. I can't put my finger on it, but I feel something is off and not as good as the older videos. Definitely not because they're more mainstream now though
Nope, you're definitely not a contrarian by nature in real life.
You're also immune to Russian apathy propaganda and Lemmy complaints about green washing...
It's gotta be because they managed to make money off spreading well researched and sauced scientific videos and something just feels off now...
Wow. Big toes like that must be cumbersome huh?

Probably since they decided to take billionaire money, which limited what they can now say in their videos. It feels more superficial and vague now.
Glad I'm not alone on this
