Sabine is a slightly controversial recommendation. She's quite well known in the physics community for coming across as having very definite opinions about how science should be done and she presents these opinions in her videos in an extremely authoritative way. Because her audience is so broad, her opinions are sometimes taken as received wisdom when they are just opinions. When talking to other Phd's she tends to come off, if I'm generous, incredibly frank, if I'm less generous; rude and dismissive. Being a contrarian, within bounds, benefits her career so she has leaned into it. But the end result is something that is more entertaining then strictly educational. I would be more critical if she was lecturing college students like that. I understand she has to make money but I wish it didn't come at the cost of education.
