>They're pretty smart and have a 1st class philosophy degree so even if I disagree with them 94% of the time I find them worth watching.
If this isn't bait I hope you're a fucking teenager and if so you need to outgrow this less than midwit shit perspective. You are teetering over the abyss of being a reddit retard for the rest of your life. Redditors are the ones always making excuses for garbage, half because they let everything off the hook and want to be as "inclusive" as possible, and use disdain for elitism as some kind of ritual show of tribal solidarity to make the wider group accept them too, half because they want to justify their own unrefined taste, and their desire to keep feeling good without having to face the possibility that their current source of feelgood makes them an unrefined pig at the trough.

Your first instinct when someone criticizes something shouldn't be to assume it's bad either, that's the 4chan mental illness which can be just as stuntedly adolescent as the reddit disease. But at least people with 4chan disease occasionally and accidentally cultivate deep interests. When in doubt immature elitism still has more dynamism and growth potential than immature inclusivity. With reddit you are becoming undifferentiated pond scum eating lowest common denominator filth for the rest of your life. Change your ways now.

This is a good learning experience. PhilosophyTube is objectively bad, objectively puerile, it's almost deliberately bad, it's a manic narcissistic manchild selling sub-Philosophy 101, sub-Wikipedia babbling to primarily teenage girls so he can be an online influencer. He is not even the "sure he's not a professional but he loves the subject and studied it at a great school!" meme you think he is. He's a random narcissist who would start pontificating about atomic physics if you asked him about it at a party despite the fact that he knows nothing about it, just because he wants the attention. He has no shame, he is a literal whore for your attention. If you can't detect the stink lines of shit and cynicism radiating from this video you have let the normie poison into your heart and you need to purge it as quickly as possible. In the process you will learn useful life wisdoms like "oh interesting I guess it's possible to speak confidently and act as if you know something about a thing, and know nothing about it" and "oh that's unusual, I guess it's possible to have a fancy degree in something from a posh school and know nothing about it except how to pose to other people who know nothing about it."

This man knows nothing. You must not excuse and obscure his pathetic failures and shameless cynicism because you have an undifferentiated protoreddit brain that eats any slop poured onto its plate. You have a right to be discerning. You have a right not to watch "PhilosophyTube." You are a human being. But you have to start acting like one, or it goes away after a while and you just become a redditor.

What's a newfag? I joined from Reddit last week, I don't know all the cool insider lingo yet.

How does one prepare oneself to become a deep reader and rebuild one's brain when it has been twisted by years of internet addiction?
