      i approach it from i'm sure the exact opposite side but i am definitely a Documentary Hater. because it's really easy to get bad information from them, not because it's 'nerd shit' or whatever OP is about

        I like documentaries as a kind of Wikipedia page style where you get a lot of points to look further into and expand upon rather than as a definitive source of truth, but I'm sure that's not how most people use them

          when you're reading its easy to stop & challenge assertions but the nature of film just gish-gallops you whether you're a skeptical subject or not. what, are you going to pause every five minutes?

            A bit hyperbolic I'd say, but yes you can write down what you want to read more on or you can pause and 'live' fact check it. It's no different than reading an article or listening to a lecture

      I got the vibe it's someone who used to watch The Hitler History Channel, but now watches TIK, Kings & Generals, History Hustle, and all the other chuds who make documentaries on Youtube.
