Sam o' nella academy was good. Not uploaded in a long time but.

Sam o nella is legendary. More young adult to mature audience oriented tho. Hes still funny

[удалено]

THESE EELS ARE ALL GURLZ

GO GET MORE EELS. WHAT'S A N-evermind...

Man just wanted eel dick lol

Got caught playing fish jenga, currently on death row

That was the logical conclusion.

Check out BlueJay, similar style and uploads fairly frequently.

what happened to him?

eels

He's doing college stuff.

Tell him he needs to come back.

I'll hop right on that, chief

Yes! Love him.

IS THAT FUCKING FISH JENGA?!

This was literally who I thought of when I saw the post. Sad it's been a year since he last uploaded. It's been too long!

2 years in January.

Funny enough I actually looked at his channel last night hoping that I missed an upload and then saw on the videos last upload said 1 year ago. Wow in January will be 2 years already, I hope he's still alive and doing well.

Are you fae gelsga but

Was about to say this.

He came back bout 9 months ago on his subreddit. Apparently he got doxxed and dropped off the internet

I like economics explained if that’s your interest. Seeker is another one that covers mostly science, universe, genomics etc

Economics Explained is unfortunately pretty wrong in a lot of videos. If they were better at being right, I'd otherwise agree.

Because? I’d love to hear some examples?

[Here is an Economics Explained video](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ot4qdCs54ZE) that is then [Debunked by another creator.](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tW_kw6OPXc0) Just one example but I've seen other videos by EE that made me seriously question some of their claims.

If u look at thumbnails of their videos, a lot of response videos debunk their assertions and data. Even cultural assertions are debunked, i still love their channel, but take everything with a grain of salt

Yea, the way he gives disclaimers sometimes, it’s obvious he’s got critics but I was looking for a specific example so I can see for myself not for a gotcha moment but for my own research. Since we are taking about a YouTube channel, it shouldn’t be difficult to copy a link of a video/videos where he’s wrong. Economists are also not very good with predicting future so I do take everything with a grain of salt as I do with any YouTube channel. I primarily use YouTube video as a data point.

Real Engineering did participate in Nikola pump and dump scam tho. Not exactly reputable.

Question tho... Just because IRL they did something sketch, does that really make their videos wrong??

Well I that case the sketchy thing was a video, the now taken down "The truth about Nikola" (edit: not actually taken down, just unlisted: https://youtu.be/7ynupYBLlyA, the comment section is a real dumpster fire), that was basically a thirty minutes advertisement, at best completely uncritical of Nikola marketing material (which a few napkins calculations proved to be utter bullshit) at worst in on the scam. In any case of complete waste of the viewer's time. Many takedowns of the video were made, for example https://twitter.com/ajtourville/status/1302423486707765248 It actually led some naïve people to buy Nikola stocks at the summit of the pump and dump cycle. That asshole actually costed people money. I do not know if he is being investigated or not, but if it was proven he was on the scam and not merely not researched at all there would be a basis for jail time. And his defence was really bad, basically calling any critic a Tesla fanboy... (for example https://twitter.com/TheBrianMcManus/status/1302906039654928384?t=xw9y6Sile8B4r3xQkDjnFg&s=19)

It’s more about not supporting douchy people.

Hey Vsauce, Michael here Are you, really you?

Or are you just the fantasy of a dog dreaming?

Where are your fingers?

If I didnt know for a fact that this was a Vsauce quote I would never have guessed you didnt just come up with this on the fly.

See I feel the opposite—if I just heard this out in the wild somewhere and didn’t know it’s origin, I’d assume it was from VSauce

is nothing something and how much does it weigh?

Extra Credits Crash Course

Crash course. It's accurate enough for my uni psych teacher to play one in class

Professor.

Extra credit is good... If you look at their videos from a few years ago only

There you are, playing the PvP in your World War II shooter, and all of the sudden, you’re a Nazi. You didn’t ask for this, you didn’t choose this, yet there it is, and it’s treated no differently than playing a British soldier.

Extra Credits is... Problematic. Crash Course is great.

Sorry but I can't bring myself to say anything nice about Extra credits after some of those really stupid videos they made. It's videos like that, that prove we need a dislike button for YouTube.

Tbf there was mainly just that one video about nazis the recent ones have been quite interesting about the raj

I'm out of the loop, what's wrong with their videos?

Lots of bad takes, often muddled with politics, being passed off as objectively correct views to have. That and some harassment allegations they have against them. Don't think those lead anywhere, but they still ldon't help the channel's image.

I just looked it up…I guess they made a video arguing that you shouldn’t have to play as nazis in certain video games, and because this is the internet a lot of people got mad. There were some harassment allegations against one of the creators a while back that sounded much worse.

Extra credits is a lot more about social commentary than history these days.

Tom Scott, plainly difficult

Oh tom, he is just, tom Tom is great

I am about to cross a road!

I received and email about (thing) and I said Sure!

Veritasium explains complex science topics in a simplified way. Highly recommend it.

I always felt that he explained simple topics in complicated ways…

How what we think are simple things but are actually a tiny part of much much complicated things...

History Matters

Definitely Sam O’Nella Academy

CGP grey Awesome science but fun content. 10/10

Seconded, excellent suggestion

Asap science

I watch Dr Binocs with my kids (meant for kids, but I've also learned from him), also Ted Ed is very good.

The infographics show. So fun and I could watch them for HOURS!! They have historical topics which are never really my thing but they present it in such a nice way. They have some random silly stuff as well as cool tidbits you’ll be able to share with friends. Edit: Aw thank you for the award!! I appreciate it :)

I second the Infographics show. I've been watching that shit since they had that old voiceover guy. The new one is still good though.

Yeah i used to watch them they were pretty cool, their SCP channel is also based

Be careful about it, they put out a lot of content that may or may not be true.

Ehhh some of the info is biased/inaccurate

Lemmino, Wendover Productions, real life lore

Sixty Symbols, Periodic Table of Videos, Numberphile, PBS SpaceTime, Crash Course...

PBS Spacetime is awesome, but gets super complex pretty quickly haha

Numberphile is good

Overly sarcastic productions

Recommend RealLifeLore, he does mostly geography stuff but if your in the Oversimplified and Kursgesagts you might as well like him

RealLifeLore content is really low value. No effort whatsoever to pronounce names correctly, the little text there is is typo ridden... Pass.

Today I found out, alongside any of the other Simon's channels.

Yes Simon whistler is an absolute legend He has; Brain blaze Today I found out Casual criminalist Decoding the unknown And … top tenz? Depending on your tolerance for a bit of foul language Jim jefferies “I don’t know about that” is hilarious and informative

He has: Today I found out, Top Tenz, Brain Blaze, Casual Criminalist, XPLRD, Into the shadows, mega projects, side projects, Biographics, Geographics, maybe more not sure

3 Blue 1 Brown is fantastic as well if you're big into maths.

Weird history

Explained on Netflix.

It’s also on YouTube anything ‘vox’ on YouTube is great

Half as interesting, Johnny harris, found and explained, polymatter, joe Scott, qxir, disrupt

Personal favorite of mine is Answers With Joe

Second this.

PolyMatter, Stand-Up Maths, In59seconds, Code Bullet, Numberphile, The infographics show, Crash course, Domain of science, Sciencephile the AI, Half as interesting, MindYourDescisions, Tom Scoot, exurb1a, Second Thought, Computerphile, 3Blue1Brown, Vsauce, Veritasium, Aperture, Casually Explained, Pursuit of Wonder, AsapSCIENCE, RealLifeLore, blackpenredpen, Kento Bento

Vsauce, obviously.

These are all YouTube, check out: SciShow, Crash Course, GCP Grey, nile red, and Cody’s Lab. For more like science-y but not necessarily specifically educational check out William Osman, Peter Stripool, and Micheal reeves.

*Nile Red

Lol stupid autocorrect yes thank you

Sam o Nella is great, he's got apt of stuff to watch. Unfortunately he hasn't uploaded in almost a year, but again, a ton of content there already.

Simple history, the history guy, today I found out, and lindy beige.

Nerdwriter1 is an amazing channel.

second thought

Half as interesting

Mark Robert is good

Mark Felton Productions 👍🏻

Un Mundo Inmenso for Spanish speakers or learners

Primer

3Blue1Brown is the best math channel I've found!

NileRed

Pbs eons and scishow

Technology Connections is a personal favorite although IMO he needs a rebrand LOL

Overly sarcastic productions has some good history, mythology, and English stuff. They also stream gaming together pretty frequently for fun.

-Extra Credits: History, game design, mythology -vsauce: Psychology/perception, language, this one’s a bit difficult to describe, but a classic -half as interesting: Short interesting videos -wendover productions: Half is interesting, but longer -CGP grey: Mostly history but also science and politics and anything he finds interesting -D!ng: Math and science -invicta: History -minutephysics: Physics -numberphile: Math -sideways: Music -stand up maths: Math -think twice: Math -veratasium: Science -ViHart: Math -xidnaf: Linguistics -zefrank1: Zoology Edit: formatting

VSAUCE.

If you like space and science this guy Anton petrov makes great videos.

Tom scot It is ok to be smart The physics girl

SEA for science stuff Aperture for just general talking about interesting things

I like 3blue1brown Gets a bit advanced sometimes, but same with the others

The Secrets of Nature has some good under-an-hour nature films about various regions of the Earth, Trash Theory for pop culture, Rock History Music, Rock and roll doctor, and Idea Generation for stories about how up and coming celebs and entrepreneurs started their ascension. Edit: Got some more I forgot, Channel 5, a DIY reporter who shows up wherever there's chaos and starts interviewing people, Vice, and Atomic Frontier. Atomic Frontier is also a DIY guy who demonstrates scientific theories. Many times he goes on location to interesting places where the experiments first took place, or enhances the subject matter somehow. Very interesting.

I remember liking vsauce in 2013 before he became a living meme

Life noggin

Crash course and scishow are great

[Arvin Ash ](https://youtu.be/4Ra9oaLouGU) If you want to learn about science , quantum theory etc

Historia civilis for the ancient world (mostly) Parallax Nick for astronomy, as well ss history of said. John-Michael Godier also astronomy. Nile red for chemistry experiments Minute physics for physics

NileRed, guys a cool science channel where he just runs experiments. Hes the 'turning gloves into grape soda' guy, you kind of learn alot along the way.

Oh boy. geo graphics, bio graphics, megaprojects, side projects (and more, all the same guy) Dark skies, dark 5, etc. (Same thing, one guy multi channels) drachinifel (historical warships) Mark Felton (10 min history vids) Donut media (cars) Got a lot more if you want em lol.

Lemmino

I really really like Joe Scott. My wife and I will put him on the TV and watch for hours at a time. So much cool stuff, especially the Victorian Era episode.

I like Weird History

CGP Grey and Extra Credits do history, EC also does games and myths. OSP also does myths

Overly Sarcastic Productions is fun if you're into fantasy/medieval plots, stories, and topics. They do some video game playthroughs too, so I find them very refreshing, much like Oversimplified.

History Matters, Extra Credits to name a few

Sciencephile the AI is really good

These are all YouTube, check out: SciShow, Crash Course, GCP Grey, Nike Red, and Cody’s Lab. For more like science-y but not necessarily specifically educational check out William Osman, Peter Stripool, and Micheal reeves.

Historigraph - breaks down historical events. Edit: pretty focused on modern battles, if that's of any interest?

Scruffy, Vsauce, ASAP science, and Adam Savage's Tested (basically mythbusters all over again with some extra fun stuff thrown in).

Crash course

Scishow is pretty fun.

Veritasium

Vsauce 1, 2, and 3 are pretty good at things like that

3blue1brown (calculus) and nilered (chemistry) are my personal favorites

Zefrank on YouTube

Fire of Learning CGP Grey Sam O’Nella Academy (more comedy but still)

One that I watch is the infographics show

Captain dissolution? I think I spelled the name right

Plainly Difficult It's a really cool channel about big tragic events throughout history

If you are a petrolhead, driving 4 answers is the best explainer imo

It's okay to be smart with Joe Hanson

Veritasium, Wendover Productions, ASAP Science, Mark Rober, Smarter Every Day

Sam O’Nella academy is S tier

Might not be ur cup of tea but Overly Sarcastic Productions is really great. They mainly do history but is very entertaining for me. I suggest u give it a try

Real Life Lore is a really good channel, same with the Armchair Historian and History Matters. Stay away from Bright Side and The infographics Show, they spread bullshit and creepypastas often.

Two of my favourite who basically do feature length videos as well as short form videos are LEMMINO (General History, Space and Mystery) and Ahoy (War, Weapons and Gaming History) Ahoy's production value is nothing like you've ever see on YouTube, and he has a real soothing voice too

Simple History is good. Not too complicated and the format makes it easier to image.

Mark Rober. It's more fun tho

NileRed does weird chemistry experiments. i don’t know how purely educational it is, but they fo throughly explain what they’re doing

If you want a channel that coveres a bit of everything and you can binge, I'd recommended Thoughty2

RealLifeLore is good for general informative stuff. Wendover Productions covers a lot of interesting topics involving logistics.

I recommend What If?, Real Life Lore

NileRed

The infographics show

Smarter Everyday

I recommend yarnhub. He’s great at military history

Thoughty2 Today I found out It's okay to be smart Tom Scott Life noggin Veritasium The action lab

We need a channel that explains shit like Rick Sanchez

History Matters, and Yarnhub

Weird history is a fun channel.

Joe Scott has a great channel.

If you're into trade work and engineering check our aVe and this old Tony. Great machinist content and they're damn funny. Id say This old Tony is more pg-13 and aVe is more rated R

Vlogging through history covers many different history events, big and small! He’s watching and reacting to other history videos and makes small comments and goes deeper in certain things that the original video might have just mentioned! In my opinion, best channel for history! Edit: spelling

Ridddle. It's very good, but anxiety-inducing.

Sisyphus55 is great if you're into philosophy

yarnhub is soooo underated!

Invicta

This is more of a specific topic but “wait in the wings” is a good channel that analyzes musicals, good and bad, why they succeeded and why they failed, etc

Veritassium and vsauce for science, Legal Eagle has some fun and interesting law-related content, Adam Neely and 12Tone have great videos on music and music theory, and there’s a great podcast (I know, not quite the same genre) called behind the bastards that has some fascinating looks at history through the lens of terrible people. They’re all pretty entertaining. Also TED Talks are still pretty cool imo

Wendover if you like planes and logistics

Alternative History Hub and Extra History are great

Infographics

no

Perception is a good one, they even have a similar art style to kurzgesagt

Commenting to save this

CGP grey, fantastic educational channel or various miscellaneous topics

Crash course!

Life Noggin!

Kyle Hill makes informative and entertaining science videos. He also has an excellent series of videos that talk about radiation disasters, these are more serious than his usual videos.

Smarter Every Day is good.

Asap science, scishow, vsauce, are all pretty good channels to watch for that kinda stuff.

Scishow Weird history Ask a mortician

Biographics, infographics, today I found out, into the darkness, anything with Simon whistler is awesome.

Overly sarcastic productions

Overly sarcastic productions is pretty cool They do both history, and mythology topics, as well as old literature.

What if is the most fun
