The Rest is History is always a good listen.
Historia Civilis and others like Kings and Generals etc are often good too.

They're doing the thing where they upload a video and then change the thumbnail and title of the video every few days which I've only seen done by all the low effort click bait channels. It's what finally got me to install the dearrow extension which swaps titles and videos of YouTube videos to be more informative and less click bait.
A lot of channels do this, you might've just not noticed.

What a weird bunch, to me these are 2 titans, 1 serial one-hit-wonder, and 1 guy whose humour is family guy cutaway gags.
Id be interested to hear which are which. My guess are:
Family Guy - Oversimplified
Hit-Wonder - Grey
Titans - Sam and Kurzgesagt -
Angela Collier completes a nice Venn diagram of (making me feel like I'm) learning stuff, righteous anger, and being a person with a face who isn't some new media production studio
Really appreciate her work - the educational stuff is good at putting things into a context and giving laypeople some mental coathooks to hang things off of, and I like how she emphasizes the video explainer format is a provider of jumping off points more than a source of real understanding.
Her discussion of media and news is maybe not as relevant here but still pretty on point in my experience. -

Don't like him for the ways he pushes bullshit, even if it technically might be correct under x y z assumptions that are utterly nonsense in real live. Last video I watched was with the interference and "light takes all paths" and the way to actually show it was complete nonsense. Yikes. At 600 nm you are not going to have any measurable amount going 10 cm somewhere else.
Which one are you talking about, Veritasium?

Angela Collier…I also have my fair share of physics classes under my belt due to my engineering degree and she makes me think of things in a way that none of my professors did.
She’s brilliant.

Is it just me or has Kurtzgesakt gotten really weird over the last couple years? Like, their videos seem like they want to be clickbait, but they’re really bad at it.
wrote on last edited by [email protected]I stopped watching them several years ago. I can't say it was a specific video or event, but I just started zoning out when trying to watch them. I don't do that much, I generally only watch, play, listen to and do things I can focus on. I've tried to watch some videos since then but I just lose interest after a minute or two. It's like they refined their style so much that it all became too "samey" and it feels like they're so scared of offending anyone that they end up saying nothing.

If anyone likes music theory, Adam Neely, Nahre Sol, Charles Cornel, and Open Studio Jazz are all amazing.
I really would love to hear what a non musician thinks about them too. I bet maths heads would love it.

The "magnetic forces do no work" thing is maddening.
The guy who is 'the guy' for that level of physics textbooks just happens to be determined to prove a non-quantum mechanics based explanation of magnetism so the book is written from that perspective without actually saying it. Of course.

Through the magic of buying two of them, you have someone who agrees that it should be on the list.

Kurgesatz was really good before they started the black mirror season, where every video is about how humanity can get killed by various things.
Never heard of the other ones but I'll give it a try.
And there's a PBS video for anything you can think about, sometimes they just don't surface properly with search.
