Truly delightful

I am big fan of their prepandemic work. But if you can get past their click bait videos, I think they still do good content.
Science pieces spreading awareness about something are their best videos.
This recent video on fentanyl was very good.
The south korea one, the vaping and weed ones. Very good at condensing complicated topic while still retaining pertinent information that's new and not patronizing.
I just showed their Fentanyl video to my 13yo daughter over the weekend and it was incredibly effective as a parenting tool. We paused many times and discussed. But their presentation didn’t leave all that much for me to say.

It was very pro heroin
Only if you didn’t pay attention.

If you wanna learn from the best chef in the world:
You Suck At Cooking! Yeah, you totally suck!
Or Preppy Kitchen if we're being serious
Legal stuff:
Meidas Touch and Legal Eagle
Retro video and music devices:
Techmoan and VWestlife
Also: Tom Scott. Or at least his backlog because he retired.
And a very important one! - Science stuff: Potholer54 I can't believe he doesn't have millions of subs. It actually kind of makes me sad.
One more for potholer54. He's one of the oldies, right up there with DarkMatter2525.(probably my favorite), Professor Dave Explains, Myles Power and Martymer 81. Oh, and in this vein there's a (relatively) new kid on the block: Forrest Valkai aka Renegade Science Teacher.

I love watching Spacetime, but also feel like dum-dum-brain after watch. Me no think good enough to watch this show.
Yeah I think it’s a quality channel but apparently there are just SO many people out there smarter than me that they are fine catering only to them. It sucks being left behind by a publicly funded channel

Me: “Sam O… haha cute name. I’ve never heard of it. I’ll see if they have a YT channel. Oh they do! What?! I’m already subscribed??!”
I wish YT actually respected subscriptions. Here I am subscribed to someone and I’ve so thoroughly forgotten it that their name doesn’t even ring a bell.

CGP Grey is a meh channel for a very long time now
I thought the Tiffany video was pretty meh, but the followup video about how the Tiffany video got made was one of his best. He's clearly a thorough and passionate researcher. The way he refuses to settle for anything less than the primary source is both entertaining and vitally important in our modern information landscape.

Anyone know a good channel for film a vfx? I like Corridor Crew but they're a bit too noisy for me.
Kinda sorta Ian Hubert. He does "lazy tutorials" which are like 1 to 5 minute speed runs of different VFX tricks. There's not really enough detail to recreate what he's doing unless you're already pretty proficient, but it's cool to watch and get the creative juices flowing.

The implication is that Youtube so rarely presents them the content they are subscribed to that they have forgotten about the channel entirely.

I use YT daily, heavily.
It’s pretty well known that their feed is optimized for engagement above all else. They will show you videos they think you’ll like and NOT show you a new video from a channel you’re subscribed to.
It’s called an “algorithm.”
It’s so extreme at times that you can even not know that you’re subscribed to a channel, because you never see them.
This is what I mean by not respecting subscriptions. There’s no stronger explicit signal
I can give YT when I want to see more of a creator. But they ignore that and decide for me what I’ll like. -
no Wendover the first time I noticed he used the wrong care when talking about EVs, Volt instead of Bolt, and constantly could not get Kansas Town tames correctly. There are more but this is the only one that stuck in my head because it was my wakeup call.
When he got called out for it he said "Its fine and it does not make any difrence to the video, except it was the wrong car

Do you really disagree? Those two names rhyme and b and v sound extremely similar. Does getting that minor of an error warrant a retraction in your mind? If it does, you should retract your comment because you have typos in it. I personally don't believe they make any difference, but since you do you should retract.

I've seen him double down on being very wrong more than once. I find it hard to take him seriously knowing how very wrong he can be without wavering conviction.
If he's wrong when talking about the topics I do know about, what should I assume about his knowledge of topics I'm less familiar on?
What topics? And who is the "he"? The previous comment mentioned two people.

It wasn't that he SAID it wrong, it waz that about half the information provided was about the wrong car. He got places wrong, and agian not the only one, but the final straw.
Also please note, if this was a post anywhere outside of a forum, that was ment to reach a mass audience I get my shit proof read, maybe he should do the same

You forgot Technology Connections

My problem with threads like this is that I only have 24 hours a day, and I've accumulated a critical mass of content creators to the point where I cannot keep up.
Which of these awesome people do I ignore?! What information do I leave behind!? How am I supposed to get anything useful done with my life?!?
Also, check out Chris Boden if you want to see something cool!

I always liked how religious studies overlaps philosophy and mythology. Whether someone is religious or not, there’s been an awful lot of thinking about ethics, morality, and thinking, that may be generally interesting. Also, seeing trends and commonality across mythologies, seeking understanding across mythologies may apply regardless whether you’re religious
Oh very true, I forgot about it. It's definitely very related to philosophy & mythology a lot. I personally never been so interested with that aspect hence I forgot. But it does pique my interest quite often enough when watching such videos. I often noticed even much later religious communities developed their philosophy based on more ancient philosophy foundation, which neoplatonism is one of such idea that I hear a lot. And so about how a lot of abrahamic religion are adopting/build their system based on or against various ancient mesopotamian myths, culture, and systems.
But I personally have been more interested to the history & evolvement aspect of things, like how the Bible differs in various times in different locations. How early Christian & Muslim had their sort of "figuring out" eras during their early times respectively. Or how does Judaism evolved from Canaanite theology, from a pantheon to henotheism, to eventually become monotheism.
This also overlaps to linguistic as well sometimes, used for example to describe various Indo-European gods appear in various culture are related linguistically. Although, I don't really follow any linguistic channels since they really are (well, obviously) about linguistic, not religious studies or history focused.
