It's a two-edged sword: yes, you're probably doing great work, but on the other hand it might come off as annoying and give science a bad name.

I wouldn't mind some random knock on my door once a week or so by someone who wants to sit down and teach me some random scientific principle or spit out fast facts. One would have to watch out for false priests though. "did you know that vaccines are nanobots injected to support Bill Gates?" or something.

YouTube already does this in a less invasive way. "Here's this random video on theory crafting how we can put life on Mars that we just thought you might like."
