I used to really enjoy their videos, but early last year they decided to take down two of they most-watched and best videos for totally bullshit reasons. They thought it was too "political" because they extrapolated into criticisms of capitalism. They explained it in a "Can You Trust Kurzgesagt Videos?" and my takeaway was a resounding NO, not anymore.
One of the videos they took down was "Addiction", which emphasized research that mice almost completely lost interesting in chugging down as much cocaine and opium water as they could get their paws on when they had a fun mouse playground other mice to play with. A little too close to some theory of alienation as a driving factor of social ills or even disease models. Couldn't have that!
The other was an extremely tepid "refugees are actual human beings" take. European Refugee Crisis and Syria Explained. Nope, too political. Their videos have all been dogshit every since then. Though it could just be my bias because it kinda pissed me off. I used to even have notifications turned on for when a new video dropped. Now I am not even subbed to the channel.
