The video in question

  • was on climate change optimism
  • primarily suggested experimental carbon capture system that Bill Gates had invested in as potential solutions
  • only mentioned the sponsor in the end screen so most people did not notice

Supposedly, several other videos were sponsored by foundations and exhibit similarly subtle biases.

Also, lots of their research comes from their partnered publication, Our World in Data, which was sponsored by philantropists and found to be biased and unreliable on many accounts.

Does it mean they are as crazy and oblivious to science as PragerU? Not even close. However, their claims and presentation should be treated with a pinch of salt even if they provide footnotes. Personally, I find the biases too slight to matter – I would not really watch their videos anyway (I don’t like the pacing, language, obsession with cleanliness and animation style).

It expects the communities to be on the post instance or your instance (lemmy.world) if not specified. The community should always be referred to as !Kurzgesagt, which automatically works as a link.

Try going to lemmy.world/c/Kurzgesagt@kbin.social in your browser.

Not now, I don’t really have time for that. I suggest you look at this Medium article / opinion piece (?). Sorry that I cannot go deeper into this rabbit hole with you but I need to sleep before a busy week. I am pretty sure it is not as deep and twisted as some think it is.
