Dr. John Campbell attained a PhD from the University of Bolton in the UK for his "development of teaching methods using digital media such as online videos" which is exactly what he is doing by way of his YouTube channel. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Campbell_(YouTuber)#Early_life_and_education(24-03-2022, 11:30 AM)Praktica Wrote: Life's too short to spend hours watching his videos.Indeed.   And I distrust anyone who portrays their opinions via YouTube rather than in writing.   They are usually grifting.    And it's naff to call yourself Doctor.
Modern education is increasingly reliant on use of web based delivery methods so being dismissive of such content would seem a bit outdated in perspective.
In regard to the flack he is receiving over some of his posts' content that is only to be expected towards anyone that doesn't follow the accepted pharmaceutical line in regards to health advice. The fact that his channel is still active on YouTube while many others have been suspended in regard to their disinformational content is testament to the accuracy of his presentations. Big pharma rules in today's healthcare environment and Dr Campbell is very skilled in not only presenting accurate appraisals of the reams of research data he absorbs but also then backing his presentations with the research document he sources it from making his videos inarguable in most cases, and when he does slip up he is all to willing to redress the subject.
