Wow... i mostly ignore the click-bait stuff she puts out based on the thumbnails alone and tend to follow the "science-oriented" stuff (which has been dwindling but i've only followed her for a few months), but watching those 3 PDE videos really shed a light on an underlying pattern.

He makes a good (and logical) point showing that "older" fields of science will have fewer breakthroughs, as is the case of physics.
I like how the interviewees state "not my field of science, here's my layman interpretation".
The view-count by type of content is a bit worrying indeed and a telling sign, she could (and should) chose quality over quantity and stick to physics...

Indeed the only video that's somewhat on that note is the first one about transgenders: it's a "new" phenomenon, people are still getting to terms with it, there are few studies, some of questionable quality, with few individuals... but i didn't notice anything specifically transphobic about it.

Out of curiosity i went and watched one of her latest videos and she blurts out in the first few minutes A lot of research in the foundations of physics is now pseudo-science. It hasn't followed the scientific method for decades. Decades?!
I get the churning out papers without real content angle. Anecdotally i've had an acquaintance who's a published astrophysicist complain about how it's getting harder to get work 'cos academia is shifting from peer review and quality to quantity of published papers as the sole metric. But claiming an entire field has been bullshit for decades...

I guess i'll switch subscriptions.
