RationalWiki's 2019 Fundraiser

There is no RationalWiki without you. We are a small non-profit with no staff – we are hundreds of volunteers who document pseudoscience and crankery around the world every day. We will never allow ads because we must remain independent. We cannot rely on big donors with corresponding big agendas. We are not the largest website around, but we believe we play an important role in defending truth and objectivity.

If everyone seeing this today donates $5, we will meet our goal for 2019.

Fighting pseudoscience isn't free.
We are 100% user-supported! Help and donate $5, $20 or whatever you can today with PayPal Logo.png!

I decided to make a Gish gallop Comprehensive list of random videos by crazies here on this page. Am I a crank? No.

Why am I doing this? It seems like such a waste of time. I have my own personal reasons, though the official reason I'm comfortable sharing is that Youtube is constantly seen as a 'great sources for the twooth, and thus we're accused of committing the genetic fallacy when we don't see their videos. Since we don't have the time to watch them, or brain cells to lose, I have the time to at least acknowledge they exist, so I'm just going to put videos I come across/popular/videos here.

Although i have the time, I have a life too. And I know people will think my "personal reason" is JAQing off, so I mightr as well explain it:

I have severe problems with paranoia. I always worry about these videos when they come across them. I don't knwo why. However, I don't want to waste ther time watching them as I know bullshit facts/quotemines/wasted time is all I will get. It's getting to the point I can't enjoy myself. My solution? I put them here. FOr some weird reason, I can enjoy myself without getting the "what if the cranks are right" feeling whern i put the videos I am paranoid of here (Don't ask, because I can't figure it out either). Besides, if I embed, it will be a great way for me to enjoy crazy without getting clickbaited to the recommended videos at the right.

I don't believe any of the videos I post here, and I do not ask for a debunking of any of them. Watch them if you want. debunk if bored, but I demand no such thing. If this is not allowed, I'd like to know why instead of being deleted without a reason suddenly without warning.

By the way, It's not just Conspiracies. Maybe YEC videos, Flat Earth Vidoes, denialism videos... Basically any video with holds extremely unorthodox views. If the Youtuber is notable, I'll have section for him. If not, It'll be the general subject. Later I might seperate in to sub-sections ("refutations" of non-crqanks, fake whistleblowers, etc.) I might possibly embed later on too.
