modern society causes autism, autism is just what happens to your brain when you grow up without going outside or having friends you watch cartoons like my little pony friendship is magic and go into Google at 12 and find pornography of it your brain chemistry is rewired and the rest of your life your drawing imitations of the stuff that you saw imprinted on to your mind as a child. I think that autism is caused by environmental factors."
Vaush unironically thinks you can exercise your way out of ASD and ADHD.
I don’t follow Vaush but his videos pop-up into my recommendations now and then so I might play them as background noise when gaming sometimes. Today I find out that’s they’re just like Musk in this regard; they sound knowledgeable on subjects I personally don’t know much about (US politics), but when they decide to be confidently utterly wrong about things I know about, that’s when I know they’ve been full of shit on everything.
Holy shit that take was legit infuriating.

Giving them more views tells the algo to boosts their visibility. As does having an active comment section. This results in a feedback loop where controversy leads to engagement which increases revenue which incentivizes more controversy.
This is the same reason you don’t engage with trolls.
