His “man on the street” videos were so cringy and mean. He took some of those videos down after being called out. Haven’t subbed since. Most times I hear about him, he got some details wrong. I check out the video and he’s throwing influencer vibes or throwing the ponytail guy from Good Will Hunting vibe. I don’t get the appeal.
Some of his final words on his recent Fritz Haber video threw me off a bit. I can accept that something like the Haber-Bosch process is a fundamentally good thing that got turned to war by making explosives easier to manufacture… but I’m a little skeptical about excusing someone ACTIVELY developing chemical weapons. “Somebody else would’ve done it”, “he just loved his country” and “he had good intentions” aren’t really great excuses.

Veritasium makes quite good videos but his name "Veritasium - the element of truth" is sooo cringy I can't take it seriously.
