Reply to Watching just 17 minutes of YouTubers talking about their struggles with mental health drives down prejudice: perceptions of disorders declined with prejudice towards mental health falling by 8% and intergroup anxiety levels plummeting by 11% by giuliomagnifico
Yeah nah the problem here is that influencers are usually not making these specific videos out of genuine concern for others. Their main motivation is making money, and they aren't trained in diagnosing or treating these issues, they often provide anecdotal stories about their personal experiences, and they even sometimes (hopefully rarely) make videos about disorders they have not actually been diagnosed with. I think that even if these things combine to reduce a viewer's prejudice, they can easily also combine to provide that viewer a skewed and inaccurate perspective on mental illness that leads to more harm than good.
