Why not use that energy for something useful?

It's not getting pushed, it's being liked. Because it's informative and entertaining. Simple really.

How about you actually watch the video and find out?

Unfortunately, most scientific papers are behind paywalls, especially the most prestigious journals. So this doesn't make much sense.

Section 230 is only applicable to the US

That's one reason for sure, especially in border regions. The other one is that for basically any high paying job being fluent in English is a requirement as most companies operate internationally. You can have a very successful career speaking only one language, but nowadays only if that language happens to be English.

Also black Americans. All in all, only 20% of Americans in general, only about 4% of white Americans and 7% of black Americans are bilingual. Compare this to 84% of Germans for example, a far less diverse country, where 38% speak two languages, 29% three languages, 17% even more than three.

Also, there probably are people earning a living wage doing freelancing in the US. It's a joke, a two-liner at that. Of course it's an oversimplification.
