YouTube’s Loaded With
EVDisinformationwell ever since trump got his marching orders from Putin, just as in russia, disinformation is a means of control. Plus folks get paid based on clicks. seems thats about it. so lies reign supreme.
YouTube’s Loaded With
EVDisinformationWhat ever you do, don’t watch Scotty Kilmer lol
I watch him for a few repair things but I don’t watch him regularly… Is he anti EV?
“I looked for something on the internet and I found it”
It’s way too profitable to be a grifting freak on YouTube
why do you link their crap, basically feeding the algorithm to boost their views even more ?
The algorithm is intense. I clicked on one poor guys ‘I’m dying of cancer’ video and next thing my recommended videos list is a litany of horrible tragedy.
The youtube ev misinformation is unhinged though. You’d think that you could barely walk down the street for exploding evs and if your ev doesnt explode, which it definately will, it can never be charged because every public charger is broken all the time, and they depreciate at $100 per minute, and the battery will only last 25 minutes and a replacement will have to be personally couriered to you by African slave children at a cost of 5 times more than the new car costs.
It’s got to be organised, some channels literally posting bad faith nonsense scare stories about evs every single day.
I thought the thumbnails were going to all be scooty kilmer.
Good thing you’re here to stem the tide by reposting it eh OP! Great job!
“Internet’s loaded with disinformation” - FTFY
I was thinking about this just this morning. It’s not that the whole internet is stricken with bad signal-to-noise ratios. It’s just content aggregators, which people ruin by competing for profit by chasing virality.

Example: cleantechnica, electrek, insideevs, thedriven, etc.
Like it or not, for or against, the EV space is rife with clickbait and poor content designed to push a narrative for clicks.
The internet is the finest tool in the history of the world at showing you what you’re looking for.
Yeah, but it shows you exactly what you are looking for, too.
It will get much worse when millions will get access to AI that generates any kind of content. Wait a minute…
Money Trumps Truth.
I recommend BlockTube for browsing Youtube. A few “Block channel” clicks and all the clickbait/misinformation/disinformation channels are gone from your search results.
Doesn’t need the word “EV” in that sentence.
