How many of the people watching them would have even read philosophy texts anyway? Alain de Bottom is a just a businessman making money off the back of midwits who want to feel educated (a remarkably similar mindset to many on /lit/ nowadays), nothing more.

Then it shouldn't be difficult to prove to them that they do not understand what they're talking about, and that de Bottom isn't a good source for understanding philosophy. I'm not saying you shouldn't be mad, only that the perceived damage to philosophy is less than you imagine.

90% of their views are from school teachers who want to check their phones while some bald faggot explains things they forgot from university/they cheated their way to their position and have no clue what they are talking about half the time.

Also there is a huge lack of philosophers who dont write autistic 1000 page essays about bullshit that the average person doesnt care about. There is a reason why there is a huge boom in authors like jordan peterson, because he can write simple things without judgement.

He misrepresents Philosophers to fit his own agenda
Multiple examples
In his Plato video he said Plato was against militaristic and/or authoritarian societies, which is fucking hilarious
He clearly hasnt read Republic or Laws
In his Kierkegaard video, well there's a comment that sums it up nicely.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D9JCwkx558o
Look for the comment by "Conclusive Postscript"
In his Hegel video he said "Hegel writes horribly and confusingly" and that he "Made philosophy much weaker in the world than it should be", then proceeded to completely misunderstand Hegel and gloss over Hegel's true body of work

What a fuckin hack

Thats because Philosophy was only meant for people intelligent enough to comprehend the ideas being discussed
If you cant read the work then you're already too stupid for the message of the work to have any value to you
Its not meant for everyone

Complete elitist thinking here. Thanks for re-affirming that philosophers are pretentious asscunts. Anyone who has an intense curiosity for concepts in Philosophy could get a proper education in Philosophy with proper work ethic like reading and in form of dialectic if they are lucky enough to have an intelligent Philosophy professor that could mentor them.

Sure someone can get an education in philosophy, heaps do. But that doesn't mean they will learn anything valuable from it.

THE SCHOOL OF LIFE is definitely a cancer, but it's probably not as bad as you make it out to be. I haven't paid them a lot of mind, but what you describe is basically was critics have been doing for centuries. Every time you read a 5 page introduction that shapes and summarizes a philosopher's book you're getting the same thing. Every time a philosopher is used for a figurehead of anything but their own ideas their work is redrawn shorthand and weaponized.

They're not even special in this regard, but they are symptomatic of the fruitlessness of YouTube as a philosophical source. I wouldn't even say they're the worst; just the biggest. Channels like Hbomberguy, Truediltom, and the deviously-named Philosophy Tube are far more guilty of using philosophers and their works as the basis for an ideological Trojan horse.

This point is fair. Someone like Derrida wrote so poorly that it’s practically an obligation to deliberately misinterpret him.
