| Jan 12, 2022 at 13:54 | comment | added | Jim | @BioPhysicist Yes. I may be more sensitive to this than others. But, to me, it is "too frequent" | |
| Jan 11, 2022 at 17:52 | comment | added | BioPhysicist | @Jim Is it really "all too frequent" though? | |
| Jan 11, 2022 at 15:55 | comment | added | Jim | @AlNejati I agree. I both love and hate him. Pushing physics to the people: good. The all too frequent use of misleading or incorrect information: bad. But at the end of the day, I still encourage people to watch those videos for the same reason I told them to watch mythbusters. If the option is that or nothing for them, I'd rather they pick that. And then if I could show them a "corrections" thread, that'd be gravy | |
| Jan 11, 2022 at 15:51 | comment | added | Jim | Hah! I have one of the top comments on that video | |
| Jan 7, 2022 at 4:21 | comment | added | A Nejati | Given the amount of confusion, or at worst, misinformation, coming out of Veritasium's channel, combined with the number of viewers he has, I wonder if there ought to be a formal 'Veritasium corrections' thread or link by the community which is regularly updated. Then new questions can all be marked as duplicate and people can be referred to those threads. | |

| Dec 2, 2021 at 23:16 | comment | added | Sarah Shelby | I'm admittedly new to contributing here, but I would think that any automated or even retrospective merging would result in subtle differences in questions being lost, and people losing reputation they have or would have gained. I have gained knowledge and insight from closed duplicate questions in the past, and I think there is something to be lost by reducing them to a single primary question, thought I agree that marking a post as a duplicate encourages new answers to be posted to another, original question. | |

| Nov 21, 2021 at 16:40 | comment | added | PM 2Ring | Perhaps a Veritasium tag could help to manage the chaos. As I'm sure you recall, a similar thing happened after their one-way speed of light video. I proposed a one-way speed of light tag, but the idea wasn't popular physics.meta.stackexchange.com/q/13424/123208 And now almost all new speed of light questions are about the one-way speed... | |
