I compared a 90 minute documentary to a 15 minute YouTube clip on the same moon landing claim, and one actually made me change my mind
So I went down a rabbit hole after a buddy at work kept bringing up the moon landing thing and I decided to actually look into it instead of just nodding along. I watched a 90 minute documentary that was posted by some channel I found on a forum, and honestly it just kept repeating the same three points over and over with spooky music and no real sources listed anywhere. Then a couple days later I found a 15 minute clip from a guy who actually walked through the footage frame by frame and showed where the original claim came from, including the exact NASA page with the photo numbers and the date. The difference was wild because the short one actually showed his work and admitted when he did not know something, while the long one just kept saying the shadows looked wrong without ever pulling up the actual mission logs. I even paused the short clip and checked two of the sources myself, and they were real pages I could read on my phone in about 5 minutes each. The whole thing made me think the length of something has almost nothing to do with whether it is actually telling you anything. Does anyone here have a go to way of checking if the person making the video is actually showing their receipts, or do you just trust the ones with more views?
