YouTube’s Loaded With EV Disinformation

YouTube’s loaded with disinformation about everything. Especially egregious are the awful ads YouTube runs about scammy health cures and devices.

To be fair EVs only solve the tail pipe emission problem of cars and not like the 50 others. It's would be much better to focus on public transit and pedestrian and bike infrastructure, that solves more issues and is accessible to everyone.

youtube's loaded with EV disinformation...

In other news, sky's still blue.

I wonder who is funding such efforts 🤔

I am against cars getting more like everyday electronic gadgets. Why do you need a selfie camera inside it? Also who attends zoom calls in it? Evs are notorious for doing so. Not to mention all the privacy concerns over the data these smartcars collect.

EV marketing is also full of misinformation, like net zero.

I hate that grotesque faces are a clickbait technique.

Only on EV? It's hard to find reliable informacion between 99% influencer crap and bullshit. YT is good for music and some movies which someone had uploaded, little else.

Fuck google seriously. The fact that these videos are not deleted and they don't detect all these obviously fake comments tells a lot.

Not surprising considering it's the biggest shilling platform currently available. Low price of entry and easy way to reach masses combined with plenty of people with large following and questionable morals... you can push pretty much any idea and agenda. But good thing they don't allow swearing. That's just too much.

Any idiot with a camera can put videos on YT so I'm not surprised. There's misinformation about literally everything on there or any other platform that doesn't restrict who can post. When the hell did news become nothing more than stating the obvious?

Just like Toyoda likes it. Him and his lemmings were parroting how bad sales were for their garbage EVs.

Some of the criticism is perfectly valid, frankly. I'm hyped for EVs but there's a lot of work to be done before they're really competitive. Glossing over glaring issues isn't doing anyone any favors.

Aging wheels did a great video on the charging station problem. He drove a Polaris and a Tesla on the same route and demonstrated really well how unreliable charging stations are, unless you have a Tesla. This guy loves electric cars and has been reluctant to actually recommend any.

That problem is going to be addressed as American manufacturers adopt Tesla as a standard, but that won't happen for two model years at least.

And in the long run, they won't address climate change in any meaningful way either. We've just exchanged one resource disaster for another, and there's far less rare earth minerals than there is oil. And we'll still need oil. The only way we're doing that is by massively overhauling every city and going away from any individualized transportation larger than a bike.
