    Angela Collier on YT has some good videos about these. I think those videos talks about conspiracy and science crackpots.

      Okay, i looked into those and i know the type. If i wanted to name a person that embodies this i’d go to people like Graham Hancock.

      How dies it apply to Hossenfelder?

        Adding to what the others have said: I think Hossenfelder is also an example of chasing YouTube popularity. And apparently many people are really into this anti-science, right-wing stuff. It probably also aligns somehow with her own values, but I’m pretty confident that this is beneficial to her streaming business.
