Does anyone know what is up with the giant pile of shit when you try to look up anything related to cern. Its like I'm looking up "area 51" or something.

Apparently there's a bunch of such channels that have all their content generated by bots: not just the title, but the footages and voiceover as well. They're all clickbaits with content ranging from simple word salad to blatant misinformation. Kyle Hill made a video about it where he tried to find who was/were behind these channels (spoiler alert: he tried to report the channels to youtube and got his own video striked in return)
