I feel like this is the most central criticism I had so far. Which means it is also the most useful. I think it’s very likely that what you said is also the sentiments of other people here.
I think you’re right about what you say and that I botched the presentation of the first videos. I’ll defend them a little bit here on a couple of points, but not more. I will not say much in this comment other than this, but know that I’m listening and updating.
1. The halo effect video argues in part that the evolution of that meme has been caused by the halo effect. It is certainly not an endorsement.
2. The truth is cringe video is not rigorous and was not meant to be rigorous. It was mostly stuff from my my intuitions and pre-existing knowledge. The example I used made total sense to me (and I considered it interesting because it was somewhat original), but heh apparently only to me.
Note: I’m not going to do only core EA content (edit: not even close actually). I’m trying to also do rationality and some rationality-adjacent and science stuff. Yes, currently the previous thumbnails are wrong. I fixed the titles more recently. I’m not fond of modifying previous content too hard, but I might make more edits.

Edit to your edit: yes.
