You have got to be kidding me
I read this post on Slashdot today about Youtube having an abundance of videos that display harmful/incorrect scientific information. This itself does not surprise me. There’s all kinds of strange/stupid things on Youtube. What bothers me is this quote from the article, “According to the lead researcher, ‘YouTube is increasingly a resource people consult for health information…’”
Read it again. I know I had to.
I hope they didn’t pay this guy for his research. Unless I missed a serious Internet revolution, who the hell uses Youtube for any kind of health information? If anyone uses Youtube to look up medical questions, they deserve to be misinformed.
