Youtube is what it is, a platform with everything from know-nothing dopes to Nobel prize winning scientists. There's high quality science and pseudo-science junk, you need to know enough to know the difference...
That's it, in a nutshell. But in the real world, the ratio of dopes to actual smart guys is frightfully high; on YouTube I suspect it's even higher. We've seen the question asked here from time to time: "I want to make some money off my YouTube channel by making fish videos; how do I go about that?"
Well, the first step is that you need to gets lots of viewers. One way to do that would be to post valuable, factual videos that actually teach people something they need to know. But the easy way, the way many of the YouTubers choose, is to just turn it into a clown show. I know at least one poster here will take offense to this, but honestly...I don't give a crap.
Sure, it might be entertaining to watch and listen to the gobbledeegook if you recognize it for what it is...but how about the beginners who watch and listen and then proceed to act on some of the garbage they see? How would they know any better?
It's bad enough when a newbie comes onto MFK or similar social media and asks a question which is then answered by people who don't know the answer any better than he/she does. But the attention-seeking look-at-me types who post this stuff go one further; they don't even wait for the question to be asked, they just pump out another video using their own secret recipe of actual data mixed in with a healthy dash of haven't-got-a-clue-but-I'm-talking-anyway. Gotta keep collecting those views.
Sadly, there's no way to point out these worse-than-useless infomercials without seeming disrespectful to the people who make them. Hmmm....I wonder...why is that?
