Like everything else -- what evidence do they present and what credentials do they posses that makes them a valuable interpreter of such evidence.

- reaperducer 4y agoCredentials? They're on YouTube! Look at that follower count! Surely that's more important than actual credentials! "If it's on the internet, it's true" is a real thing.
- joe_guy 4y agoWe're discussing what we as individuals can do, but a yelp for youtubers isnt needed and wouldnt solve a larger misinformation problem anyways (yelp didnt make bad food disappear). The following isnt just for youtubers, its for all information. As individuals, we can ensure they present evidence. If we're going to attempt something drastic off this evidence, ie, claim Scottish Lordship, we should validate the evidence ourselves or ask a credentialed validator. Ie, a Scottish lawyer. * Did they present evidence? * If yes, do they posses credentials that make them a meaningful evaluator? * If yes, do other meaningful evaluators agree? It's not dissimilar to the scientific method.
