Since the last hbomberguy video I'm a bit sceptical about long format youtube essays by random youtubers. Should I watch this? I havent heard about this broccoli guy before, but on tvtropes they write that the third part of this video was removed originally due to a copyright claim: https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/posts.php?discussion=16506531060A47749600&page=1#comment-3
Isn't this just some wiki articles read out loud, right?
His channel has good presentation and organizes a lot of disparate information about a topic into a coherent structure. Much more than a “just reads Wikipedia” type channel.
I personally don’t pay much mind to copywrite strikes and uploads, it’s a lightning strike that happens to a lot of good channels for reasons that can be dubious.
Oof. I don’t have exact facts and evidence for my claims, but he does a pretty good job at giving his interpretation and summarizing various events while showing the sources he gets his info from.
Is there another tertiary source out there that wrote on this topic, not sure. Is his content 100% accurate, not sure either. But I can sure vouch for his videos being good and very well made. All the graphics in them remind me of studying for big finals, they’re easy to recall and keep you in the long ass explanation.
He has episodes on serial plagiarism in the scientific community, it would be very hypocritical of him to do the same.
Bobby broccoli is legit.
I have a very small personal stake in one of the scientific fraud videos (I was a grad student with one of the profs that brought the Hendrik Schon thing crashing down) and we talked about it in the Reddit comments of his first video. He definitely knows what he’s talking about.
In fact, if anything, his videos err more toward the side of “insider drama normal people never heard of or care about” than “dry regurgitated facts”.
