I dislike these creators just as much as I dislike the creators they debunk. There needs to be a middle ground; a synthesis I also don’t know how to get around the fact that moderation is fundamentally unpopular as the article notes https://www.npr.org/2025/02/20/nx-s1-5277087/wellness-influencers-science-creators-maha-rfk-jr

So much this Most of the time science is nuanced and nuance doesn't sell I also get frustrated when scicomm tries so hard to own the wellness creators because it can swing too far in the other direction...(it also normally has the opposite outcome, making people feel the need to be defensive or pick a side) Side note: it's probably why I fail at scicomm.. I don't want to go that route

Yes. Sci comm can come off so pretentious and lacking in self awareness to me 😩

I wanted to love scicomm... for so long but it all starts to sound the same there are some amazing and genuine content creators out there but when all someone does is "debunk" it's hard not to feel like their pretentious
