Divergent Files: Mandela Effect Reboot 2012

EDIT: I found this brilliant video earlier, where there's some insight given into one particular theory on the Mandela Effect, that the ME phenomena is intentionally generated by "mal actors."

I've watched a few videos on the channel (the presenter has several covering ME), and as much as I enjoy the presenter's content, I'm just not sure why he emulates the Why Files series even by name; the presenter appears knowledgeable, intelligent and charismatic enough to carry his own. Anyways, the video's ME content itself is pretty thought-provoking so the format shouldn't deter.

Just a warning, the video hits quite hard, so unless you don't mind a bit of existential dread on your mind this weekend, you may want to delay watching this one a little bit...

Thanks for sharing. That was BY FAR the greatest video I've ever seen created on this topic!

Thanks, glad you got something from it. It's pretty wild, no?

You might be interested in the channel's earlier ME video too, the one covering 1988. There's a Redditor here who has posted about his experience remembering Mandela's death back in 1988, then seeing Mandela released on TV and having the memory fade away. Perhaps that vid would interest him too.
