I've lost trust in veritasium. I don't remember the specifics right now but every video he makes I have to take with caution
wrote on last edited by [email protected]In the beginning it was very nice, but somehow the guy became repulsive somehow. I used to watch every video but lately I skip many. But since the older videos were interesting, I added it to the list. I also used to like Mark Rober but his videos I really dislike for a while now. It's so over the top "look at me, I'm an engineer, I'm going to do extreme shit and be super popular for kids" instead of "I'm going to teach you something super interesting".

Dang, I'm surprised to see how many folks are down on Kurtzgesakt in the comments here! Bummer!
They might not be perfect, ya'll, but at least they encourage open thought and critical thinking! Better than a lot of other media can say these days!
But they don't encourage open thought and critical thinking. They basically tell you what to think.

They're pretty okay for shallow understanding on a subject, but Wendover (not on the list), Economics Explained (not on the list), and CGP gray all get stuff pretty wrong once you get past shallow depth. I know because I'm a huge transit/urbanism nerd. If these channels haven't wronged you in some minor way, they just haven't talked about something you're a subject matter expert in yet. The point here isn't that they're bad, just understand that these are shallow explainers, the next step in from like a news article, Wikipedia, or a blog, and take them with a grain of salt.
My personal list is Kurzgesagt, XKCD explained, and The Action Lab.
Do you have examples of CGP Grey getting things pretty wrong aside from his Solution to Traffic video which I indeed think holds up poorly.

History Matters is my personal favorite

Right? I'm surprised by this claim as when he found out he made a pretty minor error in his video on an abandoned missile silo, he made a whole other video to address it.

That was actually the one I had in mind

Like all pop-science I think they're really educational on topics I know nothing about. On topics I do know well, I think: well that's wrong and that's wrong.
Seriously, Im really worried about the generations that are learning economics from CGP Grey who is not only not an expert but is frequently wrong.

Ever since Tom Nicholas' video criticising Veritasium's channel, and then how Veritasium handled the criticism after in the comment section... I haven't really watched any of Veritasium's video anymore.

The Solution to Traffic video, like you mentioned, springs to mind, but so does the one based on Guns, Germs, and Steel

Anyone know a good channel for film a vfx? I like Corridor Crew but they're a bit too noisy for me.
