Tom Scott did a recent video where he talks about the geography of places with usually high tides: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nCrTsWtPVIY (go to 1:18 for the high tides bit)

Tom Scott makes amazing engaging videos, but he gets so many things half right that I kinda want to call him QI the YouTube guy.

I love QI, and they ask such great questions, and have smart funny people on to talk about them. Might well call them Tom Scott the TV Show, for their likability, and interesting topics, and humor. But man they get so many things wrong. Which, thankfully, they lean into as the show goes on, as Allan Davies often loses points for simply stating as fact something that was stated as fact on previous episodes, and in fact was just wrong.

Tom Scott, on the other hand, justs leaves his misunderstandings out there without comment. I still love his videos, but it is very much buyer beware as to whether he gets things right.
