>Science isn't done by youtube video battles but by debates in scholarly journals.

As a scientist, I would prefer more open discussion. Because the conversations scientists have with each other is not what ends up getting told to the public, and many agendas impact that.

Most scholarly journals are open. Moreover, anyone with a dissident opinion can publish an alternative journal and these certainly exist.

You know the climate change denial videos on youtube aren't "getting things in the open" but slick sales jobs for a particular viewpoint.
