The problem is a growing psychological behavior where people tend to select the option that fits their brain decision patterns. I'm not a neuroscientist, so I don't have the correct term for this. But it's the same mentality that compels people (in the US, statistically older, less educated) to agree with a certain anti-scientific answer. Basically it's the behavior that causes people to reject published science for peer-shared hoaxes and, dare I use the horrid term, "fake news".

All youtube does is deliver video content (ignoring their censorship responsibilities or actions). Point is, trolls or people will ill intent or just simply morons publish videos of disinformation, and unfortunately simple-minded people latch on to those ideas - especially if they think their enemies (elitist educated (liberals)) believe in the opposing ideas).

I think this is just an exercise for publicity, but the connection issues to the pods are not that difficult with current technology. If the pods must remain powered up and connected, then a flexible cable race can be built into the channel the pod rides on. If not, then it's even easier. The connections are just a scaled-up version of the mechanisms used for robotic disk and tape systems in play already.
