So I got an ad on this video about some company called spiritual beats. Dude in a lab coat looking shady saying that due to YouTube compression the videos are 22% as effective (define effective?) or something to that effect. This runs contrary to my understanding of the difference between data rate and simply audio frequency in the left and right channels. Is there any legitimacy to their claims and do they make sense in principle? BTW really enjoy these videos they help me switch from night to day shifts, which normally ruin me. Cheers!
That ad is a scam. The man in the lab coat is NOT a neuroscientist. He's an actor named Frank George and he records these videos on Fiverr!
The video is packed with misleading, inaccurate statements and totally made-up statistics.
If you wanted to report it, that'd be helpful... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ywH4Si71Fjc
Under the video there's the "3 dots" -- click it, then hit Report :)
