The author took a few too many artistic liberties for my taste, also some things are just plain wrong (accelerated expansion phase shows galaxies and talks about space expanding to remove galaxies forever out of sight after explaining that all the universe is now black dwarves), but some nice ideas are presented & I watched it to the end.
I get what you're saying, but in my opinion, while the video is indeed not perfect from a strict scientific point of view, it's still accurate enough, and sometimes I think it's necessary to sacrifice a bit of accuracy to make things simple and comprehensible to most.
I think the purpose of the one making the video was not to make a lesson in astrophysics, but a presentation in broad terms of what we know now in a way that's thought provoking, that it does exceptionally well IMO.
I agree that it took a few too many artistic liberties for my taste, but I'm also biased since I'm doing my PhD in the field. I've loved melodysheep since I was a teenager (our story in one minute earned my sub), and all of his videos just have the best vibes/music/visuals. I genuinely have rewatched this video 10+ times in the last few years because of how it makes me feel, even if I have to turn my brain off a little. I hope it's just as nice for other people, and it seems it is
