  Hi,
  
  I have come across a new video about VMS.
  It seems to me it is a nice intro video, but as I am about as literate in Voynichese as my dog, I will just post it so that others can check it.
  
  It is presented by You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login to view. (podcast Host for Hidden History)

  Hidden History and Today I Learned Science
  
  
  Best regards,

  What's up with that thumbnail?

  I watched a tiny bit of it a couple days ago and the following put me off
  
  1. AI nonsense text on thumbnail (this is not "Voynichese")
  2. Immediately makes assumptions about what images mean and presents them as fact
  (Not a great first impression)
  3. Repeats a bunch of outdated and wrong information - Example, "There are no corrections or mistakes" 
  
  That being said, I'm just happy the manuscript is having a bit of a boost in popularity lately. People in the comments of the video seemed to like it a lot so thats good. Think I'm just not the target audience. Do wish some of these old views on the manuscript would stop being circulated.. but I think we are doomed now AI is pumping out scripts for content creators.

  I like to think that this kind of phenomenon exists for any specialization. If I were a medical doctor, I'd probably need to stay far away from online medical content, for my own sanity.

  There's a guy on Youtube I watch whos day job is being a qualified psychiatrist. He said in one of his videos a study was done and found that 92% of content on Tiktok was incorrect regarding mental illness. I'm guessing the play is to avoid if you are in his shoes.. or you will need a psychiatrist for yourself  .
