Heterogeneous sources, no logical fallacies, theories with valid clues.
There are many more, feel free to add, but those are the very main points I have when being sceptic about certain videos on youtube.

Pseudoscience is SCIENCE that hasn't been accepted into the mainstream YET.
Only midwits make the distinction.

simple - pseudoscience has no experimental proofs and everything is made up off the table to sell books and merch to fools
eg:
>astrology
>dark matter/energy
>string theory
>multiverse
>infinite series
>ancient aliens
the list goes on

Infinity is more of a philosophical concept, you wouldn't say nihilism or religion are pseudoscientific concepts, they never claimed to be scientific in the first place.

You've forgotten hard data. If it involves an experiment that produced real data, it's probably science.

Pseudoscience is when you keep adding epicycles and come up with the theory of trigonometric series and revolutionize the world forever as a result.

they need to have something that if provided disproves their hypotheses
if they can't provide anything they are saying that their system is unfalsifiable, and thus not science

Part of it is being willing to look deeper into what you read, but part of it is learning to live with the cognitive dissonance. What we believe now is not what we will believe in 200 years, but maybe its close enough to the truth to help people out.

Philosophical answer: The search for knowledge vs the search for answers.

Literal answer: Scientific Method followed by peer review is science and the best way we have to understand the universe we live in. If what you are reading lacks or ignores either, its pseudoscience and can be considered fiction.

You can't anymore. Science has been totally corrupted. Any point of view can be promoted and supported with hired 'experts' and published peer reviewed studies that aren't worth the pixels they are printed with. There are countless examples the latest being the Lancet published study into hydroxychloroquine.
