I don't like how, for instance, he knows something is a fake, but the first half is "this happened" then the pause, and then the "but...."

If you know shit is fake up front, just say it.

fair, but it's gotta come up with enough interesting content to get them youtoob dollaridoos... like... this definitely isn't just a public service on their part... I thought of it more as him covering the legends and myths and trying to give them whatever credit they can, and then the second part is kinda a clarifier, not necessarily intending to debunk the myths/legends/conspiracies, but just adding more research/context/insight... sometimes the conspiracies are fake, and it's not like he can make a video on atlantas every week, although some folks seem to, not that their wrong, but my point is coming up with episodes that always end with the conspiracy not being disproven is inherently rare... and I think he wouldn't be doing justice to the viewer not educating them initially on the topic and then not presenting more information... just starting out with "hey there's this conspiracy, but don't worry, it's all fake." out of the gate isn't going to keep anyone watching, hense no yutoob dollaridoos. Hey, they're getting paid for spouting the conspiracies everyone's read about on these niche websites all these years, and making it entertaining for normies, I think it's worth some merit.
