Already watched it and it’s a great step by step analysis of the attack. If people actually watched the video they would know that.
To be fair, while these channels do a great job at informing about what is happening on the ground, the titles are clickbaity. Then again, that wouldn’t be that much of an issue if people actually watch the videos. That’s the same as reading the title and not the article.
The problem with Youtube (and the internet and world in general) is that we are deep, deep in a crisis of authority. For every channel that has honest, expert information about a subject, there are a dozen others with laypeople sharing their lay opinions about it with varying degrees of understanding.
So those of us who actually care about getting the information from someone who is actually an authority on the issue have had to learn the visual shorthand that can help us tell the difference. It’s obviously not always true, but generally clickbaity images and headlines are a big red flag that the source is more interested in getting views than getting it right.
Naturally that is getting harder and harder too because the experts have learned this and feel forced to follow along with their own clickbaity headlines and images.
IMO it’s a serious problem and one that may not have a solution but still desperately needs to be solved. We absolutely cannot have proper functioning democracies if it’s difficult for the public to get the truth.
The video is also pretty bad. If I had a nickel for every time something was far more devastating than someone or other could have imagined, I could retire. Also, it sort of tries to imply that the whole reason these drones were so special is because the Ukrainians had help with their drones from the US, which I’m pretty sure is no longer the technology relationship there and has not been for some time.
It is still an informative video I think but it is almost too YouTube to be able to endure.
