I didn't like the video. The real enemy is the US Justice system and science funding. Companies that do everything to profit off this are symptomatic for a systematic problem. Also they quote russian propaganda way too often for being true journalism. This makes me think this video is about ragebait and not information.

Is it so bad? I really liked some of the stuff they made in the past.

They are one of the ones that were sold to private equity, right? So maybe the decline is unavoidable.

There was a big controversy a couple of years ago when they made what was essentially a hidden advertisement video for Waymo, and they didn't really engage with criticism around that.

At least received an investment from a private equity firm (Electrify Capital):
