  There are some good sources on YouTube like Crash Course. The problem is when people get their information from posts or channels that are not peer reviewed.

    I didn’t mean that there isn’t any good information on social media. I have spent a bunch of time watching video lectures that MITOpenCourseWare has posted on youtube.

    Using social media sites as a news aggregator is like looking at the news through a filter. I think that is bad because you don’t know how the filter works and you don’t control the filter.
