          I’m curious as to what you think a reputable source is. One that agrees with you? I’m sure there are plenty of YouTube videos that do, are they disreputable and untrustworthy, simply because of the platform?

            a reputable source is one that provides the source of their information.

            youtube content creators get their information from other Youtube content. It’s like a human centipede of misinformation.

            in rare occasions youtube can be reputable if it’s content of the event as it happened, like when George Floyd was murdered and body cam footage was leaked online.

            however, with better AI that can create archival footage like that, it’s harder to trust just any video.

            point is, sources matter when you want to prove your dissertation.

          It did not contain any misinformation, just basic facts about what was happening in Ukraine in 2014 - Euromaidan, separatist movements, far right consolidation, etc. Things reported on constantly by mainstream Western press for 8 years. There is at least one overzealous mod that is removing my comments, comments that contain no misinformation, and with no requests for clarification or any actual challenge to what I said.

          Feel free to ask me this question on a less censorious instance.
