I'd certainly seen this exoplanet somewhere in my mainstream news world somewhere ... so nice to see a breakdown here from "Dr Becky" about how the science isn't so clear cut.
Anyone else able to provide insight on what the possible outcomes of the newly acquired data will be?
EDIT: what's with the downvotes? Genuinely confused ... is there some rule/culture against youtube videos or something?
You're viewing a single thread.
I really don't think this video is click bait. It's reason for existing might be the media hype and clickbait crap that has been produced ... but all the video does is dig into the published science and generally dispel what all the media hype is probably saying. It's the opposite.
At some point, if anti-clickbait behaviour is going to be sufficiently superficial, it's likely as bad as clickbait itself (not unlike an auto-immune disease).
You are right, this video is clickbait mitigation, not clickbait itself. The haters are just primed to hate at the drop of a hat.
