The point is, if every platform pulls a YouTube, there will never be new, strong contrary information. It’s a tough problem. But scientific advancement depends on the ability to challenge broadly held opinion.

I think part of the solution to the misinformation problem is to A) have a much better education system, and B) have much better media presentation around the facts.

If you don’t have A, all is lost ultimately. There’s not much hope for democracy if the majority of the citizens are misinformed and incapable of critical thought.



Scientific advancement doesnt happen through youtube though, but peer reviewed journals.
