I do watch some scientific/historical YouTube channels, but I try to keep them limited and vetted. I don’t mind (and actually enjoy) listing to someone passionately monologue regarding their hobby/favourite piece of media. That’s a low stakes topic where even if they’re giving me wrong info it’s not terribly harmful.
Not to say that ‘professional’(syndicated/broadcasted) documentaries are all truth, considering the History channel. I just like my background noise to not lead me down an awful rabbit hole.
Even National Geographic is going down the pseudoscience rabbit hole.
I try to Listen to True Crime stuff on youtube, but it’s really hard now that the name of basically every felony has to be censored out of the video to avoid demonetization

That’s because Fox now owns National Geographic.
Literally doing articles on “Magic is real, science says so! Here’s the evidence for voodoo!”
Not an exageration
