I've seen a few of their vides about various economical topics and they were hilariously bad with logical fallacies all over the place. It's a meme site/channel.
[–] Fibbideh [S] ago
Any specific examples?

I haven't seen that many but I still remember the intense cringe from this video. Completely misenterpreting one of the most damaging modern situations, ignoring the past 200 years of social sciences and spouting anybody can be a millionaire mumbo jumbo, massively overstating some problems and understating others, ignoring basic economic logic etc. Make your own opinion, if you want we can discuss in depth why it's complete bullshit.

Someone was posting their videos on voat a fair bit about a year back. One about taxes and 3 neighbors at the end of a street or something. What are they selling?
[–] Fibbideh [S] ago
They just put out videos and ask for donations. I haven't seen them try and sell anything yet.

I was brought to the website by a compelling video about how all morality is based in religion. They make points which are similar to the ones I hear from here, which makes me skeptical of what they represent and why they exist.
What's your opinion of them?

Look into Jonathan Haidt's book The Righteous Mind.
