Her channel has strayed far beyond the topics she has credibility in. A physics academic talking about AI, sociology, and politics… why should I care? Even of the physics topics that she does cover it’s all “pop-sci” news coverage stuff, she’s not even using her actual depth of knowledge to make videos that are different than the layman takes from dozens of other YouTubers.
Someone speaking provocatively and authoritatively on topics they don’t have credibility in is where you should think critically and turn it off.

I appreciate that she makes her videos so easily verifiable, by prominently showing her research, that it was easy to see the point when this started happening and tune out. A lot of opinion-faucets on the internet try to be irrefutable by hiding their sources.
I don't trust Sabine intrinsically, but I trust that I can notice when she under-researches a topic or makes a leap of logic. She conveys enough good information that I find it worth my time to watch.
