Very strange indeed. I wonder if Kurzgesagt has done something to upset the crowds? I haven't watched any of their stuff in a year or two, but the ones I did watch were excellent and I thought they were well liked and popular. And accurate. And willing to correct their mistakes.

Maybe I've missed something.

    IIRC there was an expose a long time back that they were on Bill and Melinda Gates foundation's payroll to push their agenda in their videos.

    IIRC it was a lack of transparency regarding funding from the Bill & Melinda Gates foundation, some videos with very dubious science behind them presented as fact, and I believe one case of essentially plagiarism from another creator (there was at least some dispute).

    They did since come out and apologized for some of it but the whole drama did sour the channel for some people.
