Myself and my colleagues.
That's not a source. That's an anecdote. Don't passively dismiss people's work, it's insulting and against the guidelines of HN.

I love that society has reached “I dislike you because you are teaching children to do dangerous things” is “elitist” point in its development. Civ didn’t prepare me for this.
Wanting to keep information vaulted away from the public and only available to the "right" people is elitist.
Free Solo is one of my favorite movies of the last decade. In the movie, they are fundamentally and consistently transparent about the sheer danger involved. It probably seems obvious to everyone, but there is danger. If the movie was just artistic shots of Alex Honnold climbing rock without a rope, that were shot in a way that 'simplified' the narrative to the climbing instead of the danger I would have a problem with that.
no one called for keeping information from anyone, they expressed concern that the method of communicating left out critical details that could injure children in a way they do not understand. You can point and laugh at me for doing the 'think about the children' thing but honestly you see children do stuff like this fairly often, because they are children. Your same logic could be used to say we should let children vote, drive cars, own guns, etc. Screw the game operation or doctor with friends, lets give them real scalpels!

I can definitely get behind the sentiment, but it becomes a game of "how much is enough?" Like take woodworking. There are a lot of operations on the table saw which require certain techniques to prevent pinching and firing the piece at high speed. Does every video that features a table saw deserve a safety brief on all the things you shouldn't do with a table saw? Or can we just delegate to a safety FAQ and maybe th…
For me the presentation/presenter puts me off the video/channel.

the “wrong” people in this case are children, and the information is likely to cause injury…
That's a parental supervision problem, not a reason to censor information on youtube.
In general no one can fully monitor what their kids are doing online, and the tooling is woefully behind because it's antithetical to companies measuring engagement as success.

I am a source. I’m a practicing physicist, and have been cited numerous times. I’ve not passively dismissed anyone’s work, I’m actively dismissing it for good reasons according to my professional judgement.
