Is it bad if I don't know who this is?

I'm always interested in the process behind creative works, so I follow some second channels / Twitter feeds of (YT) creators.

I often find Veritassum's second channel more interesting than his main science one. The videos about facebook were simply brilliant and very well made for second channel material.

Also:

About those G-waves... background dust may invalidate their data, we will find out in the coming years.

Edit: after scrolling through the YouTube comments to see if people are discussing the possibility of dust skewing the data, I want to kill myself. Now I can see why he made the "Be Hated" video in your original post, veen.

Yeah...I keep forgetting how terrible the Youtube comments still are. Thanks for the reminder not to scroll down ever again.

There's a pretty cool extension that lets you replace the youtube comments with the comments of subreddits that posted the video.

Might be marginally better. Hell, ANYTHING is marginally better than youtube comments.
