Looking Back At The Episode that Got Me Suspended: The Shark WeAk Podcast 10-16-25:

Описание: We take a break from Shark Week 2025 to look back on the episode from 2024 that got Skyler suspended from YouTube.
Despite no actual copyright violations and an appeal that carefully explained the false copyright claim, Warner Bros. successfully had the video removed and got my channel in trouble. On this live show, we will go step by step through the episode, discussing the multiple deceptions presented by the hosts, who, sadly, are actual scientists.

For reference here are the two videos we discuss today.

In this, the final episode examining 'Belly of the Beast: Feeding Frenzy', I present the argument that the entire show is built on a false story. Then again, that's not unusual for Shark Week, but if you want to know why the show starts with a lie and ends with a lie then please enjoy this video.

Below are the 5 primary points I make in the video. Each of the points is supported with evidence as I go through the video.

1. The reality TV show characters (some people still call them scientists) tell the audience that South Africa's giant sharks have gone missing from their usual hot spots. That's already not true.
2. They blame the orcas for these "missing giants". If number 1 isn't true then this can't be true either.
3. The dramatic story sets up the excuse to hunt for the giants and (of course) tag them.
4. The tagging shown in this show presents several reasons to be concerned about the technique, what data the tags actually provided, and why some tags weren't mentioned at all.
5. These scientists went to marine protected areas to find these sharks. Finding sharks in such places isn't very ground breaking, in fact it supports the other scientific argument that the sharks left the cape due to the heavy fishing taking place there more-so than because of the orcas.

I want to credit Tyler Newman for the music used in parts of this video and Maarten Josef Billen for the photos of his used in this video.
