So why not watch the content you do want to support? That does directly help inform the content creator which content to create.

I do! I watch stuff made by other people. Veritasium is an example of a similar channel that's better.

I also inform others about the situation so they can make their own informed content consumption choices as may align with their own morals. Decisions are always better with more data, even if I don't agree with the ones others may reach.

He meanwhile contorts reality for clickbait, see the transmission line debacle for a good example.

I like his presentation otherwise, but I consider his information harmfully deceptive and thus mildly dangerous to watch.

This video may be worth a watch: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CM0aohBfUTc

Side note: I don't really agree with a lot of his other videos. Yet I am sharing this one, because I believe it's worthwhile and am not taking his other videos into account for a context that doesn't matter :)
