      Their videos about the immune system are really good and educational (according to me, who has no idea if they’re just making shit up). But pretty much everything else they make is just pop science.

        I agree. Like most science channels, they’re really good when they stick to pure science.

        The issues usually occur when they decide to weigh in on a social or policy issue that they’re not qualified to talk about. Kurtzgesagt’s blunders all seem to be related to climate policy videos and their wishful thinking regarding Hail Mary technologies saving us.

        For other readers, my bias is generally pro kurtzgesagt, I have several of their posters on my wall. Their social policy videos have just been really rubbing me the wrong way.

      Sabine has been posting a lot of cringe lately. Such a bummer when a physicist decides to go down the 2009 history channel swerving out of their lane career path.
