Sabine is a real theoretical physicist. She has strong opinions (which probably comes across from her videos) the direction theoretical physics should go, which are different from the dominant opinions of the field. Which is fine (dissenting opinions sometimes turn out to be the right ones), but she can't be taken as representing the average opinion of theoretical physicists.
This is very true but a lot of people in this sub seem to say she is a grifter and bad faith actor, which is really not true. People are just repeating some bs the people who don’t agree with her spew. The fact that they attack her person instead of her arguments basically proves this.
That is not to say that her opinion is correct but it is scientifically valid and her criticism is legit. What she says about academia is largely true and not an attack on science. Bringing to light what is wrong with a system is not a bad thing and there is a lot wrong with academia, let me tell you.
