As follows:
I've been following them since they had less than 100,000 followers, and I've watched all the videos without fail. Gao is not really trying to instill his own views in the viewers, but rather, he is integrating the existing resources and combining them with his own thoughts, which in turn triggers the viewers to think.
He's the best storyteller I've ever seen, and his explanations are so infectious that it's easy to bring the viewer into the conversation (of course, I can't rule out the idea that some people might call it "provocative"), and I'm often not even aware of the end of a 20-minute video, but I'm still interested in what's going on when I'm done watching it.
For someone who hasn't lost their curiosity and desire to explore the world, a channel like this is a great platform to fill that curiosity, and a must-have for eating and going to the bathroom.
And with the expensive videos and pictures bought from material sites that are both tasteful and appropriate, plus the eloquence of Gao and Mal's tacit cooperation, and a handful of dog food stuffed in every now and then, there's no worry that such a program won't be a hit. If they were open for business in mainland China as well, the number of fans would definitely be more than the current number.
Purely from a youtuber's point of view, this is a very high-quality up. there is traffic, there is content, there is potential. 500,000 fans will have 500,000 broadcasts, the stickiness is extremely strong, and it is still rising (there are a lot of fans in Taiwan). It is said that it has never participated in commercial activities, see which manufacturer can go to take a blood.
Lao Gao gentle character is a loving wife demon, the girl quirky often now hanging, which is the unique charm of the video.
But in terms of the correctness of the content, really miserable. To put it mildly, it's just a goddamned thing. Lao Gao himself said that his undergraduate degree was in Dalian to study machinery, and then took the opportunity to run to Japan to turn IT, and now more than ten years.
So he hasn't received systematic, formal training in the natural sciences. Over the years, he has heard some things, a lot of what are the world's unsolved mysteries and other books of the words (such books are the worst areas of storytelling), and take it for granted to speak, not dialectical and check the falsification, and some of them will inevitably be a laughing stock.
For example, he said that mankind discovered dark matter because the rotation of the Milky Way does not conform to the law of gravity, which is true in itself, but he went on to say that it is because the dark matter is like a boundary on the outside covering the Milky Way so that it can not be dispersed.
Anyone with a high school or higher knowledge of physics should be able to see this is patently false.
Also, he says that water is not the same as water, and that water in the distant past could give birth to life, but not water now. And water can be broken down by heat into hydrogen and oxygen, and hydrogen and oxygen can be burned to produce water, a process that can go round and round, releasing even more energy than a nuclear reaction.
Anyone with a high school and above knowledge of chemistry should be able to see the error in this.
He says it is a miracle that the pyramids have the same latitude and longitude as the speed of light. However the units of latitude and longitude and the speed of light are both defined by modern man, and to be a miracle, it should be a miracle of modern man, and that honor cannot be given to Ancient Egypt for nothing.
And then, for example, he says that man is a slave of God, but man has the wisdom of God, and that God has put a lock on man's brain to prevent him from awakening, sealing off 97% of its functions.
This is a rumor that has long been deciphered, the human brain doesn't only use 3% of its life, it actually has a very high usage rate, but he's still promoting the brain idleness theory just like the director who made the super body.
These little mistakes are everywhere in his videos, and it feels like he's having fun talking about it, chapter and verse, but in actuality a lot of his points are up in the air. If he were asked to write a paper on a particular topic and list all the references and sources for all the points involved, he would probably find most of them to be a non-starter, making the paper difficult to produce.
One of the characteristics of his video is that he takes everything to the bizarre and doubts all official conclusions. Of course, skepticism is a good spirit, but he pushes too hard, which is too much.
For example, he made three videos to say that the moon landing was faked, but the things that the Americans put on the moon were actually seen by all the countries that went to explore the moon, especially the reflectors that were put in to determine the distance between the earth and the moon, which scientists around the world watched, so how can it be faked? Put so obvious evidence not to say, have to say some small doubts of the chicken skin.
There is also a feature of logical confusion. Watching one video alone, there is no major logic problem, but several in a row, you will find inconsistencies. This is an inevitable consequence of his direct quotes from the world's unsolved mystery stories, because those stories were created by different people.
In his worldview, there are people living inside the Earth, people living inside the Moon, there are several waves of aliens in the solar system looking at the Earth, the military sees aliens every day, and all the people in all the myths are aliens. Humans were already the unknown number of civilizations on Earth, and the previous ones had either become immortal or disappeared. Fermi is going to vomit blood when he hears about it, I think.
Actually I think the logic confusion and skepticism of everything is okay, and falls under the common lack of scientific literacy. The biggest problem, still, is being too godly, and that's a more serious attitude problem. If you want to do hunting and paranormal programs, there's nothing wrong with that, and a lot of people are willing to watch it.
But if you do this kind of thing, and if you do it in a very scientific and serious way, it may seriously mislead some children's outlook and make them think that the world is really full of ghosts and gods, and that they can't have any peace of mind.
The SCP is obviously a fictionalized version of the netizen's work, but when it's being told, it doesn't even mention the word fictionalized, and it's completely based on the real thing. The SCP is a fictionalized version of the netizen's story.
On the whole, I think if you cut out all the nonsense, and cut out the more mundane and correct science content, the series would be self-contained - a little video version of the world's unsolved mysteries.
