Agreed. I've noticed a huge uptick of "here is a random YouTuber's 45 minute rant about X" used as "evidence" in discussions. Opting to not watch it in its entirety is then dismissed as being unwilling to discuss; watching it and picking it apart leads to "oh, but you haven't seen his OTHER videos".
