Ever since Tom Nicholas' video criticising Veritasium's channel, and then how Veritasium handled the criticism after in the comment section... I haven't really watched any of Veritasium's video anymore.

From reading the comments, it would seem that Tom really knows how to cherry pick his talking points. Which is about all i got from seeing his other videos too.

Veritasium really looks like the sympathetic one in that exchange. I mean. Tom really made a whole video trying very hard to smear someone that brings a net positive to the world. I dont find that the criticism warranted a 50 minute video over essentially nothing.

I've seen him double down on being very wrong more than once. I find it hard to take him seriously knowing how very wrong he can be without wavering conviction.

If he's wrong when talking about the topics I do know about, what should I assume about his knowledge of topics I'm less familiar on?

What topics? And who is the "he"? The previous comment mentioned two people.
