My Hot Take for the Day
After the James Somerton situation, the SWOOP exposes Johnny Silvestri in the Colleen Ballinger situation, and other videos where youtubers do serious investigative work, I feel like some of these youtubers should be recognized for their efforts.
SWOOP has already been on multiple news outlits for her youtube videos, why don't we give these people more recognition?
I can already name some people that should, I don't know, get an award for investigative journalism or something
Coffeezilla (Specifically regarding his SBF & Save The Kids Crypto scam series)
SWOOP (The Colleen Ballinger series, specifically)
Hbomberguy (For the Plagiarism, Roblox, vaccines, and climate change videos specifically)
Philosophy Tube (specifically for the vaccine video, that was an awesome study)
FriendlyJordies (Got his house fire bombed when he investigated Australia's government & many more people & organizations)
This is a starting list, but please, feel free to add to the list, we need to give these people more recognition!
I don't know the best way to formally recognize youtubers for investigative journalism, but I do know these are some people you should take seriously. Their work is unmatched.

Elon getting issues wrong again.
It's almost like he is trying to be wrong, just to stoke resentments. Imagine that.

The business press is rarely skeptical about the speculative heroes of the moment. There are exceptions; if you read carefully, you can get a good critique. But the general culture is boosterish. Just a few months ago, SBF was a genius. Elon Musk, too, though his antics at Twitter are making that cult harder to sustain. Before that it was Elizabeth Holmes and her magical blood-testing machine. Go back a couple of decades and it was Ken Lay and Enron (celebrated by none other than [New York Times columnist] Paul Krugman, who’d also been paid a consulting fee by the company).
There are a lot of reasons for this. Many business journalists identify with the titans they cover—some even aspire to join them, as did former New York Times reporter Steven Rattner, who became an investment banker. Then there’s the fear of alienating your sources—the dreaded loss of “access.” And then there’s the general reluctance to be the skunk at the picnic—when markets are frothing, it’s more fun to play along than play the critic.

One of the fun things about Google Street View, and by extension Geoguessr and its bastard children, is that it isn't a matter of 'send the car round once, boom, we've got it'. Much of street view has big placards about social distancing prominently on display, unless it's been updated even more recently (and you can still go back and look at years past).
Unfortunately, as fast as Google can move, real life will often move significantly faster:

When billionaires talk about themselves, they lie. SB-F was a fraudster who stole billions, then had the gall to present himself as 'well-meaning' and trusted too much in others.
Enjoy prison.

Sam Bankman-Fried tortured me and a few other people like Saw but he forgot the mask at home so that's how we knew it was him.

"The difficult part of a fraud case is usually establishing a defendant knowingly lied — unless, apparently, the defendant is Sam Bankman-Fried." -Was Sam Bankman-Fried’s bean bag chair a lie too?

I saw in the news that Sam Bankman-Fried's lawyer tried to get his sentence lowered by using the autism card
and all I could think of was this constant refrain on the r/autisminwomen subreddit:
one thing that explains differences between autistic men/boys and autistic women/girls is that people find excuses for men/boys' problematic behavior, like "poor baby doesn't know any better, he's autistic, it's not his fault"
but they swiftly reprimand women/girls for the same behavior
fortunately the judge didn't give a shit about SBF being "a beautiful puzzle" lmao
