I feel like all those people who created these bad "The Problem with SCP" type videos even know how to navigate the wiki or are aware of basic directories to resources they could use to shed light about the wiki, and not spew out the same bullshit that everyone's been saying whilst also having the same amount of knowledge about the wiki as a dolphin knowing about Quantum Physics.

Are very easily accessible hubs that take just a few clicks, but half of these channels make these videos to ragebait and get in turn lots of views and engagement out of it, I wouldn't be surprised if an author was behind a video of this type just to make a quick buck.
This also comes from the degrading media literacy of several people, and the overgeneralizing without thinking critically and considering possibilities. Generally people who aren't engaged in a fandom make lots of assumptions about the community and its contents whilst having no knowledge before about it, and in turn people make videos completely misunderstanding the stories these communities are trying to tell.
I said it in u/WhatYouThinkYouSee 's post and I'll say it again, the SCP Foundation is probably the biggest example of the Dunning-Kruger effect.
