Ted is basically middlebrow soft misinformation.
Sometimes you get some useful stuff but I've watched too much awful stuff propped up as rigorous science that its value is dubious.
I would characterize it as a cross between Amway and infomercials. It's entertainment packaged for aspirational elites.
- thundergolfer 2y agoTed is low brow now. It was originally middle brow. I don’t think it’s ever been high brow to get pop insight from YouTube videos.
- atonse 2y agoWell... the high brow part was how they never filmed any of the talks for the first 20-30 years.
- thundergolfer 2y agoOh my mistake, I wasn't referring to its pre-Youtube era as I've not seen what those were like.
