You can tell the Gates-bucks have really leaned them in a neo-liberal slant. It kind of sucks.

It's not simply the Gates money, but the pivot to pursuing grants by chasing clicks to the exclusion of all else.

Kurzgesagt when its summarizing research papers is alright, but as soon as anything touches on a social or political issue it's all "vote with your wallet 🙂"

It has been neoliberal biased for ages. For example this is a 2021 article calling out their neoliberal bias. https://aninjusticemag.com/the-inescapable-neoliberal-bias-behind-kurzgesagt-in-a-nutshell-215eb1e9b70f?gi=9574bf28f4a0

But it has undoubtedly gotten a lot worse recently. That south korea video was abymaly blind and baked in unrealistic capitalist assumptions.
