So rainbows don’t cause alpha males to cry?
not these ones.
They might if they’re really pretty, though.
you need a double, almost triple, rainbow for that.
you don’t know me!

I’ve seen both Veritasium’s video and this much older one: https://youtu.be/6Hl7BLXq5vA and I honestly prefer the explanation of the older video.
I do appreciate the explained history, but I found the explanation on the maths more clear and to the point in the lecture video.

Can veritasium just make educational videos and not keep doing this stupid "everyone is wrong I am so smart" clickbait?

I forget when his content turned into… This, but it’s the reason I’ve unsubscribed. I’m guessing he realised he gets more views and so more money this way.
It might have been after the “erm actually” response he made to the speed of electricity video.

The videos mark rober does and did this year also rubbed me in the same wrong way…

Yeah, when we tried to do the "gotcha" thing with electroboom where he was completely wrong on the main topic of his original video but "right" on a technicality because he framed it as a trick question. But conveniently didn't mention the "trick" in his original video. Jackass.

I stopped watching him when he did that iq video just to show his own iq.
Dude is a jackass.
