    This dude:
    When the pandemic started he seemed like a helpful old doctor who could explain, in simple terms, what was happening. I watched a few of his videos and found them informative at the time.
    Cut forward 18 months...I occasionally see his videos around and he now has 1.4M subscribers...his video titles are getting more click-baitey and more antivaxx from the look of things. Look into him further an you'll find he's not a medical doctor at all, he's an ex nurse teacher. He got his PhD in 'open learning resources for nurses'. He admits this in his about section of his youtube channel...but the fact he calls himself 'Dr' John Campbell and acts as if he's a medical doctor is intentionally misleading. He trawls through research papers, prints them out and underlines things with his fountain pen. I can see why people want to trust him and follow his videos, feeling like they're well informed...he has an 'avuncular figure, seems to talk sense' kind of manner. I wish people would find better sources on information.

    • Yeah, I've seen him posted a few times here before and don't realize that he's an actual quack.garbage

    • yeah, same, saw a couple of his videos back when covid was an unknown.. then dug, and thought wait, Dr? He's a phd Dr in nurse training... nope.shapesalad
    • Plus he kept pronouncing Covid as 'Cough-Vid' instead of 'Coe-vid'. Annoy as.shapesalad
    • Fair play to him for milking it.shapesalad
    • He is a doctor tho.
      Don't hate the playa.
      palimpsest
    • He has a doctorate. He was a nurse tutor, not a virologist. He's talking way out of his depth.garbage
    • I'm just saying he IS a doctor, if you want to be a free thinker and take advice from YouTube that's on you.palimpsest
    • So hate the game? Because he's running hard on people just seeing "Dr" and assuming he has authority on the topic.garbage
    • Kind of like how most states don't allow people running for office to use "Dr" in their election ads.garbage
    • Most famously, former Alabama governor Dr. Robert Bentley was not allowed to use his title while running for office, so he legally changed his name.garbage
    • For a brief time his name was Dr. Dr. Robert Bentley. He quickly changed his name back after some severe campaigning. And he won because idiot Alabamians wentgarbage
    • "Shucks, he's a doctor, he must be smart and he'll save us from Obamacare". Dude was just a dermatologist for a famous dead football coach.garbage
    • This dude is running the same gambit, just on youtube. Idiots see it, and they feel woke because some Dr on youtube told them so. It's dangerous.garbage
    • So he didn't have the right to use Dr. on his campaign but he really was a medical doctor and that's why the people voted for him, because he was a doctor?palimpsest
    • And that is your reasoning why Dr. Campbell shouldn't use the Dr. title, because he's not a medical doctor?palimpsest
    • It's hard to wrap my head around that.
      The world is mad.
      palimpsest
    • The solution here is that Alabama should call you so you can choose their governor because the people clearly don't know how to vote correctly.palimpsest

    • is that ben Shapiro in a wig?_niko
    • I don't know if these kids are just so dumb, but they're making Shapiro look like Einstein._niko
    • That's the MO of Shapiro and most of the IDW. They go with loaded, rapid-fire scripts and "debate" college freshmen.garbage
    • It's pretty sad, like walking into an elementary school with fists flying, then claiming to be some P4P champion.garbage
    • No, it’s more like walking into a university of adults. The fact that most are studying gender studies here doesn’t make them infantsGnash
    • That's pretty strawman milieu you've got going there. Most kids are going into business, medicine, engineering, etc. Same as ever.garbage
    • If you want a long-form response as to why Shapiro is a disingenuous shrimp that debates children, I can oblige.garbage
    • These aren’t children. Infantilizing them to make a weak point seems to be your milieu.Gnash
    • These all look like college freshmen. Please elaborate on how these aren't children. But I'm happy to dance in the "marketplace of ideas".garbage
    • A place that Shapiro won't shut up about, but also dodges constantly. He's a fucking hack.garbage
    • ‘Ah, I see. You’re redefining anyone that’s just plain stupid, as a child.Gnash
    • No, I'm defining age relative to Ben's age (37), these people are children. If I debated an unprepared undergrad and posted it as a victory..garbage
    • ..I might as well wait for the kids to show up at the court after school and then brag about my blocks.garbage
    • His whole thing is predicated on his debate skills, but also picking his targets wisely. Every single time he's talked to an adult, it backfires.garbage
    • Ben is ambitious, driven, persistent, and so on. Smart or respectable, he is not. He had a pretty hilarious live show way back where his pontifications were..garbage
    • ..derailed by a caller calling him short. He spent 5 minutes going nuts and talking about how hot his wife is. Real thin skin.garbage
    • Also most (if not all) of his books have the †, a designation that the NYT gives to best-sellers that have suspicious group buys from PACs and whatnot.garbage
    • I highly recommend pirating True Allegiance if you need glimpse of lil' Ben's mushbrain. It's omnishambles, but hilarious if you understand the man.garbage

    Watching Matt Koval's announcement about the removal of dislikes, I thought something was off.
    The spoken words did not match the eyes. The video reminded me of an interview Admiral Jeremiah Denton gave in 1966. I have never seen a less enthusiastic, more reluctant announcement of something that is supposed to be great.

    Calling the removal of dislikes a good thing for creators cannot be done without conflict by someone holding the title of "YouTube's Creator Liaison". We know this because there exists not a single YouTube Creator who thinks removing dislikes is a good idea -- for YouTube or for Creators.

    Why would YouTube make this universally disliked change? There is a reason, but it's not a good one, and not one that will be publicly disclosed. Instead, there will be references to various studies. Studies that apparently contradict the common sense of every YouTuber.

    The ability to easily and quickly identify bad content is an essential feature of a user-generated content platform. Why? Because not all user-generated content is good. It can't be. In fact, most of it is not good. And that's OK. The idea was never that all content is good. The idea WAS, however, that among the flood of content, there are great creations waiting to be exposed. And for that to happen, the stuff that's not great has to fall by the side as quickly as possible.

    The process works, and there's a name for it: the wisdom of the crowds. The process breaks when the platform interferes with it. Then, the platform invariably declines. Does YouTube want to become a place where everything is mediocre? Because nothing can be great if nothing is bad.

    In business, there's only one thing more important than "Make it better". And that's "Don't fuck it up".

    • Well, there is still dislikes. Just the numbers are hidden. Comments will be the new (more ineffective) indicator of quality.jagara
    • YouTube is and has always been the place where everything is mediocre. Don't know what you're talking about. It's the fucking mall food court of online content.nb
    • Nah, there's some great stuff on youtube.

    Zoom users – It's 2021, and you work in the world of sharing visual and audio content over the internet. You should have either learnt how to use it by now, or changed career. A few notes:

    1 – Share your fucking sound if you are presenting a video

    2 – If you are taking a call from a phone, keep the device still or turn your camera off.

    3 – if I'm presenting, don't chat-box comments at me, i will not see them and doesn't it look like I'm busy right now?
