TwoMinutePapers is a well-established YouTube channel that does a great job of explaining new scientific techniques/advancements (usually in the areas of computer science and graphics). Do you actually have anything to say about the content of the video?
I can understand why some viewers would have a negative reaction: it’s like listening to an overexcited sports commentator paraphrase the paper’s abstract and speculate about its impact, without really trying to explain the content. The value for those who follow the channel would presumably come from its discrimination in selecting significant papers and accuracy in summarizing them, but that’s not apparent to a first-time viewer.
