@devopscats I'm skeptical... worth watching, though, I guess?

@woozle I thought it was a good review, he highlights something that I find annoying about Hank Green, especially given he has a team, that a lot of his content is just a non nuanced regurgitation of wikipedia and media talking points. I get it, Hank has a team of people to support, and needs to keep churning out content, but it's precisely because of his wide viewership that these non nuanced takes, e.g. the recent knitting video debacle, make him just part of the mainstream media slop generation machine.
@devopscats I heard about that but not the details (nor have I managed to find the video)... I'll have to keep an eye out. (I feel like he would be responsive to reasoned criticism -- but it might also just get lost in the noise.)
@woozle he pulled the original video and did a response, which although reasoned, didn't really address the criticisms, i.e. a lot of it in that case was driven by the inherent cognitive biases that come from being a privileged white male, which being one myself to some degree, I feel more white men need to acknowledge
@devopscats Yeah, can't say I'm surprised. "He Means Well", but... :-/
