    One channel that IMO does an excellent job with that is Second Thought.

    Each video is 10-20 minutes, has high production value, a clear reason to exist, and makes the case in plain English.

    Recent good ones: "The CIA is a Terrorist Organization", and "Why The United States Can't Handle Crises"

    One thing I've noticed with channels in & around the bread space is that, the longer the channels exist, the longer the "recap" video sections become.

    I'm not really sure why, but over time it just gets more & more descriptive of... the topic's raw material. To the point where half the video is just explaining what exists.

    I've got some good news for you. It does make a lot of noise, and yeah, it is a large device, but you are very safe.

    A lot of that bulk is actually just coolant. The magnets have to be kept at a lower temperature - they're smaller than you'd think.

    The machine is only capable of generating a magnetic field of a certain strength, which is MUCH lower than the safety limit for humans. This is a physical limit of the machine.

    Unlike an X-ray, there's no radiation. You could get scanned dozens or hundreds of times with no ill effects. Just be sure to pay attention to their instructions. No metal is obviously very important!

    Yeah I had a look around and it looks like the Edison polling info is not available directly since they sell the data. I am curious if anyone has the source for whoever put the image together so I can link it without people screeching "fake news"
