    Often sponsored by organizations who would support the narratives their videos paint.

      Often is too harsh a term, but that bioweapons video is 100% sus. It got worse when someone pointed out the video has no birds. It’s as if they quietly aknowledged something stinked with it.

      Yes, but it’s a fairly recent development (in the last two years or so) and they clearly disclose that a video is sponsored and who sponsored it. It’s less annoying than many other sponsorships is see on youtube.

      That said, the sponsorships do seem to cut their integrity a bit. They said it wouldn’t, but it does.
