It's funny how everyone agreeing with YouTube hasn't watched the video in question. Y'all are very opinionated on the 2nd or 3rd level information instead of t

  The purpose of a site like HN is exactly to give quality 2nd or 3rd hand accounts, so I don't need to watch an hour long video to form an opinion on it. There are many, many orders of magnitude too much 1st hand knowledge in the world for anyone to comb through. If you want to be informed on a broad range of topics, the only chance is to go by reporting that you trust, and for a great many people, that includes comments on HN. If you have a contrary read of the video, it would be better to share it rather than lamenting that the thousands reading this thread don't each spend time watching it in person.

    Right, the video in question is literally the reporting I trust. The video itself appears (to me) to be between qualified people talking about medical information is a careful way like adults. Maybe you should watch it? Just the first 15 mins?

      The bits I watched were just full on conspiracy type comments about how even the manufacturer is only saying the drug doesn't work due to various conspiracy reasons. I recommend people to watch it to see how much of a crank bret is and how its clearly dangerous conspiracy nonsense being spouted
