Sabine seems to believe any intellectual darkweb-esque argument she hears as long as it makes her feel heterodox. Her coverage of autism, transgender issues and capitalism were embarrassing.

All of those are prone to highly emotionally charged reactions. Whether she is right or wrong, there would have been strong reactions, and therefore (in a bayesian sense) the strong reactions give you no information about whether she's right or wrong.

It gives you information about what she's optimizing for, and it isn't solely truth communication.

It sounds like she upset you by challenging views that you hold emotionally rather than rationally.

We can tell an argument is rational when it upholds existing power structures and diminishes people who are already marginalized. They're probably just complaining because being marginalized upsets their emotions.

Funny you mention this because I have a child with (severe) Autism and with so much misinformation out there about Autism I was blown away that her video about this topic was so spot on and incredibly well researched. In particularly she nailed the so called "neurodiversity movement" and its many problems it causes quite well.

I only saw some of the "capitalism is good, actually" video and was horrified at how ideological it was. It was Prager-U level propaganda. She seems to fall in line with a few popular physicists (like Neil Tyson) who display chauvinist tendencies in their knowledge of everything that is.
