Apparently there's a bunch of such channels that have all their content generated by bots: not just the title, but the footages and voiceover as well. They're all clickbaits with content ranging from simple word salad to blatant misinformation. Kyle Hill made a video about it where he tried to find who was/were behind these channels (spoiler alert: he tried to report the channels to youtube and got his own video striked in return)
It's not just science-related videos either; I recently saw a video about the Taurus returning to Ford's lineup, despite the car existing only as a rebadged Mondeo in the Chinese market now, and no such announcements being made anywhere for it to return to the US market
I really wish there was a viable alternative to youtube, it's the only google product I consciously use and it's pure trash
TAURUS! Now there's an American car with a shape and a feel we've never seen before! TAURUS! Now there is a personal car with exactly what we've been looking for! TAURUS!
Sorry I can't get that out of my head so many years later.
No, I get it, that song gets lodged in my head all the time too, hi-five
…sometimes, I’ll sing it to myself, raising my hand into the air as I reach the end of the line, and close it into a fist on the “Taurus!” part, like it’s some kind of overly dramatic Broadway horseshit
A viable alternative to YouTube is impossible unless it was managed by a state, pretty much. The infrastructure required is immense.
