Judging military-history videos by their content

A non-specialist creator's military-history video prompts a broader answer about judging public history by the quality of its content.

Question

What do you think of non-history YouTubers covering military history?

Short answer

Encourage wider participation and judge the work by the quality of its content rather than the creator's usual subject area.

Notes

A non-history YouTuber's video on Operation Wikinger prompts a broader point about public history. Wider participation in military-history discussion is welcome, and the work should be judged by the quality of its content. The named video is not evaluated for accuracy. This brief answer concerns who may contribute to public history, without passing judgment on the operation or the creator.
