Can SmarterEveryDay dip too please? That Destin guy used to make weapons for the military. Do not like him one bit.

I generally dislike basically everybody in the "Youtube Smart Person Who Tells You Information For 10-30 Minutes" sphere for various reasons (Tom Scott and 3Blue1Brown are the least aggravating for me as they're pretty good at staying in their lane), but by far the funniest (and most aggravating) part of their whole project is when they get onto China or the USSR in the middle of a video that doesn't immediately seem like it would be about that, and it just turns into a whole spiel like: "The totalitarian regime of China/USSR is well-known for their extensive censorship and the iron hand they have on the media, with many human rights abuses. According to recent estimates, the gulag system murdered 50 quintillion people under Stalin's terror alone, and not a single person was allowed to speak their mind. If you were the first to stop clapping during a Stalin speech, you would be executed. Anyway, as I was saying, this new flavour of ice cream was invented in the USSR in 1976..."

Like, wow, you're really doing a great job with that Bill Gates grant money.

Kurzgesagt has to be the worst one, especially their so-true "We'll totally fix climate change, guys!" video. They're also literally funded by Bill Gates.
