A lot of academia’s problems are just Capitalism’s perversion on display: incentivizing the wrong thing in every case. But it’s also not in such bad shape as the anti-science grifters (e.g. Hossenfelder) like to pretend
I sometimes see videos of Hossenfelder on my feed and have watched a couple. Would you mind adding some context? What are “anti-science grifters”? Sry if i’m a bit out of the loop here.
Adding to what the others have said: I think Hossenfelder is also an example of chasing YouTube popularity. And apparently many people are really into this anti-science, right-wing stuff. It probably also aligns somehow with her own values, but I’m pretty confident that this is beneficial to her streaming business.

Angela Collier on YT has some good videos about these. I think those videos talks about conspiracy and science crackpots.
Okay, i looked into those and i know the type. If i wanted to name a person that embodies this i’d go to people like Graham Hancock.
How dies it apply to Hossenfelder?
