Popular YouTube channels are informative until they cover a topic you actually know about

A screenshot of a Mastodon post by Rod Hilton, where he humorously explains his growing skepticism about a person's supposed genius status based on their increasingly unrelated topics: electric cars, rockets, and then software. He notes that while he didn't know much about the first two, he now knows enough about software to realize the person's claims are dubious, prompting him to avoid their products. The post is overlaid with a comment from a user named jingerpi about how popular YouTube channels can be misleading when they discuss topics the viewer knows well.
