that's just dipping your toes in the shore of the bast ocean that is yt educational content.

Yeah they’re kinda bullshit.
SpaceTime and 3Blue1Brown are good science educators for the college level.
Veritasium is good for the middle/high school level.
Kurzgesagt is probably useful for an infant. Or like a smart dog. Maybe an Australian shepherd.
Garbage channel.

You can tell the Gates-bucks have really leaned them in a neo-liberal slant. It kind of sucks.
Kurzgesagt when its summarizing research papers is alright, but as soon as anything touches on a social or political issue it's all "vote with your wallet
" -
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."Her discussion of media and news is maybe not as relevant here but still pretty on point in my experience."
I remember being surprised how much I enjoyed her video about Star Trek: Picard, given that it was a multiple hour long rant video — it's amazing how much difference it makes for someone to be engaging in good faith criticism
-
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.
They're honest, direct, open, and willing to learn, I love kurzgesagt. The world sucks, but we shouldn't shy away from understanding why it sucks and how we can improve it
-
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.
A lot of their political and historical videos are propaganda

Technology connections is so good. I watched a video and wanted to share it but peoples response was always "I'm not fucking watching an hour video on how a dishwasher works" I say but thats the shorten version

wrote on last edited by [email protected]Not one I've watched yet, but there definitely is some magic to listening to someone talking about something they really care about, if you connect with them as a communicator.
Like, I don't have any relationship to Disney's Buzzy animatronic myself, but I've rewatched Jenny Nicholson ranting about it more than once because it's fun. Captain Disillusion talking about the effects work that inspired him also feels kinda similar. -

I believe this is a YouTube feature that effectively runs A/B tests on your behalf. You give it multiple titles and thumbnails and it'll gauge engagement with each and then use the one that was most popular. I hate it.
Damn YouTube is such a shitty platform

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.

How in the actual hell is technology connections not on that list and also why have I not seen it in any of the comments yet
This list is basically the tippy toppy fresh snow that's fallen on the iceberg.
Technology connection comes a little lower.

Such as?
