@andrewmarkowitz96: Misinformation is rampant online and weather is not immune to this. Unfortunately, the issues of clickbait, hype, and AI slop continues to get worse in meteorology. Meteorolgist Andrew Markowitz explains why this is dangerous and how you can protect yourself this winter #meteorologist #weathertok #snowstorm #clickbait #misinformation
One that drives me crazy is Weatherdaddy from Southern CA. He shows real maps, 10 days out, but projects (verbally) the worst case models.

He can change the titles & thumbnails, but he can’t change the length of those videos or when they got posted. 😭

It causing my anxiety to skyrocket and my adhd to go crazy. Especially cause I got kids and one who is level 3 autistic. Like right now theirs a guy live streaming. Saying this

I start my degree for meteorology in January. A lot to be able to learn and share accurate data and help us create better forecasting. These media click bait mediaologist make it difficult for people to take me seriously lol

Max velocity has been frustrating me lately. I’ve followed him for a very long time, his forecast helped me a lot when I was in WNC during Helene. I do have a level of respect for him, his forecast are usually a pretty accurate for my area and he normally has a pretty realistic approach in his videos. But the thumbnails and titles are what get me here. I worry about the people who see those but don’t watch the video, who share that information around. I wish he’d listen to the criticism on this one and change the way he operates when it comes to that stuff. He does have a notable level of responsibility as a degreed meteorologist to prevent weather misinformation. Even if the videos are accurate those thumbnails are NOT! He’s going to lose a lot of respect from many meteorologists if he continues. Connections are huge in this field and he’s not really setting himself up for success with that kind of clickbait.

To be honest I’ve even seen some respectable meteorologists hyping this storm up for a week

A guy I like to go to on YouTube is Weather With Travis. He used to be a chief meteorologist and explains the meteorology background of the weather that’s happening in a way that the average person can understand

Yeah, I’ve been getting those AI generated videos of other weather creators on my feed as well — wonder if there’s a way to turn off downloads! 👀

I’m so glad you’re speaking on this. I just moved to Penn from Georgia and the fear mongering around hurricane season is literally insane

straight callout of max velocity. I genuinely hate the dude. dude pulls crap out of his ass that's usually false, and whenever there's a tornado he starts acting like a 12 year old on Christmas.

I only trust local meteorologists who have been in the city for bare minimum 10 years, preferably 20+. Long enough to have seen a few booms and busts and know the area's quirks.

The rise of popularity in meteorology on social media has been very mixed, as I think it’s cool that people are super interested in it but there’s a lot of people who are uneducated, watch a few YouTube videos, and pretend they know everything about severe weather and post on tornadotok. I am actually going to college to learn about it, and I wish people would do that instead of larping
