My dude, you can't just say, "They got funded by this, therefore there is bias in every video and everything they do that's related to society is billionaire propaganda." Potential bias definitely applies to some of Kurzgesagt's videos, and I'd view any short video on a complex topic with skepticism, but it's not helpful to just whine about Bill Gates shilling in discussion about any Kurzgesagt video without even considering what the video's about.

I am sorry you don't appreciate me sharing factual information about the publisher of the linked video.

But I think people can make up their own opinions on this issue.

Dude, I have no issue with the information and opinion. You're not actually responding to what I'm saying, which is that none of it has a chance of applying to this particular video because what Kurzgesagt said in this video has absolutely nothing to do with Bill Gates and definitely wouldn't benefit him — if anything, the opinion portion speaks against platforms owned by large corporations, so it might do the opposite.
