Many here see only problems with her technical videos, but what I find is that after initially talking about and criticising research in her areas of expertise it is very obvious she became popular with a certain "anti-scientific establishment" (for lack of a better word) crowd and now really peddles to that audience.

In the process she has diverted from topics she knows to scientific areas where she has at best a undergraduate level understanding but still talks like she is a subject expert and always taking a contrarian stance. After seeing videos where I have significant expertise where she was clearly wrong (and again peddling the "anti-establishment" angle) I stopped watching. That she is now making videos about capitalism and other social science topics just illustrates the point.
