Question: sektchy youtube channels
Does anyone have any tips or suggestions for how to research suspicious youtube channels? My mom keeps on forwarding videos that are clearing pushing an agenda. They have every hallmark of being auto-generated: lots of AI imagery, stock footage, auto-generated narrators. But I find it almost impossible to dig to find out who is behind these channels. There is so little transparency, and thus little means for gathering and presenting objective evidence.
Thoughts? Thanks.
