Aren't they one of the worst physics channels apart from just outright fraudulent/fringe grifters like ElectricUniverse? Seems like every other week or so I see someone detail patiently why they have incorrectly explained something. I think the "[particles, like photons] take all possible paths" fiasco might be the latest one I can recall.

I haven't watched that many, but for the few I did the physics was surprisingly good.

What was the many paths fiasco?

There are things physicists themselves cannot agree on, so there is no "true" interpretation of some things and you can only present your interpretation.

So, sure, they deserve criticism for the "all possible paths" brouhaha but by and large, I think it offers access to physics in a consumable form for many lay people while trying to maintain rigor better than most.
