Merely pointing out that they are shilling what benefits their "donors"

I have no strong opion one way or another on actual topics.

Just highlighting that many of these "independent" youtube channels are same thing as main stream media... They shill what benefits the rich owners.

Which by default should attract scepticism as rich never shill for the working people.

While most younger people know to be skeptical of msm, they don't apply same to youtube channels shilling.

I see nothing wrong whatsoever to endorse ideas, technologies and solutions that benefit all nations.
No matter, who is sponsoring who.

If you get coin by doing a thing that eases up many lives and Earth's well-being at the same time, I'd call that a win-win scenario?

This being said - I don't know anything about the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation and what they're after. Only the tiny bit what Kurzgesagt told us about it.
