There's been a few threads on topics that have become controversial even though the credible evidence might suggest they shouldn't be.
I've been scratching my head why "some bloke on Youtube" is seen by some as a valid citation.
It turns out there's quite an interesting book about that very question (and other stuff about the depths of what I would see as an internet-algorithm amplified rabbit hole that some people get trapped in).
Anyway, I'd recommend it very highly; the main weakness is the conclusion - which is an attempt to find hope where I don't think there's much around.

The book is "Doppelganger" by Naomi Klein, Prof. at University of British Colombia and author of "No Logo" and several others you'll likely have heard of.
I'd particularly recommend to those who find themselves being labelled as conspiracists - at the very least it will give you an insight into why the rest of us think you've been suckered in.

When it comes to you tube just tread very carefully because it is just a free for all and very hard sometimes to separate reality from the fairies as evidenced by these so called influencers who I dare say can only influence the vunerable and gullable who would buy snake lubricant anyway.
