Kurzgesagt In a nutshell
Primitive technology
Technology Connections is SO GOOD.
cue the smooth oboe transition into bloopers
Kurzgesagt tends to push a lot of pseudoscience (e.g. carbon capture tech) and other stuff following the investment interests of their founders.
I like their animation style and honestly I wish they used proper data sources, however if you check the sources they mention on some of their more dubious videos they all come from some made up source.
This is particularly upsetting with everything related to parroting whatever Bill Gates is pushing (artificial meat, carbon capture, inequality is the teacher’s fault, climate change isn’t that bad, etc.)
Good to know, thanks for the info!

Adding on to this; There’s a video by The Hated One who initially broke this story.

Climate Town - Does a decent job explaining climate-related topics and still makes them interesting.
Jay Foreman - Very funny map trivia.
JerryRigEverything - A bit too much promotion on some stuff, but really comprehensive tear downs.
MIT OpenCourseWare - learn good.
Pop Culture Detective - Deconstructive pop culture tropes that make you think a lot.
SNES drunk - retrogaming (not just SNES) but well done, 0% additives just prime content.
stacksmashing - electronics trivia and hardcore reverse engineering.
The National Gallery - If you’re into history, this is an excellent channel about art trivia. I’m not much into art and this is always top quality for me.
Tom Scott plus - Tom Scott does British telly stuff like playing board games or chasing people on the streets with an apple tag.
Voices of the Past - This is slow, exhaustive history for nerds. Worth it if you want to let the story wash all over you.
Vox - slightly left leaning great journalism, albeit sometimes too brief to explain complex topics.
Weird History - They get some stuff wrong, but it’s still entertaining.
Project Farm - Wanna buy an angle grinder? Now you do.
Insider - Had a series of “How Real Is It?” videos that let professionals describe stuff seen in movies, and it is both entertaining and a learning experience.
Corridor - Some stuff of dubious quality but if you’re interested in FX, it’s good.
LegalEagle - Law is hard, but is law fun?
brian david gilbert - Existential horror camouflaged as comedy.
PBS Space Time - Good but hard space science.
BurtBot - Orcs with normal voices.
Joel Haver - Neat if you’re into deadpan humor.
Taskmaster - Probably some of the best british television available in YT.Bonus round:
Practical Engineering - How stuff is built but explained well enough that even I can understand it.Plus, use FreeTube, not You Tube. Don’t be a slave of their terrible algorythm and all the recommendations will turn out to be of your taste.
Map men map men map map map men men men.
I love Vox, but I would call it more than slightly left leaning.
The journalists, sure. The company, less so.

Philips fast talking makes me anxious lmao, idk why
I dunno what kind of channels you wanted.
Just wanted to say that steve1989mreinfo is posting again!
Nice hiss

Adam Something - Mostly about civil engineering and public transportation, but also a ton of commentary on the right wing from a European leftist perspective.
Ladyknightthebrave - Film theory and criticism.
King Arthur Baking - Just solid baking videos.
Tasting History with Max Miller - Cooking show about historical foods with brief dives into the dish’s history.
Oversimplified - Short animated videos on history.
F.D. Signifier - Black leftist takes on society, politics, and pop culture.
Lindsay Ellis - Now retired from YouTube due to harassment, but excellent film theory and criticism, originated the current film theory video format.
Chinese Cooking Demystified - Chinese cooking videos that focus on how it’s actually done in China.
All Gas No Brakes/Channel 5 - Modern gonzo documentary news.
Breadsword - Film theory and criticism.
Contrapoints - Leftist trans commentary on philosophy, political theory, pop culture, and basically everything.
Luetin09 - Incredibly deep dives into Warhammer 40,000 lore.
I think all gas no breaks is gone, the host was up to something I can’t remember. Great videos though
He had to rebrand as Channel 5 News. The initial investor for AGNB retains the trademark to that name.
He’s since left YouTube and is Patreon-only now. A real shame too, he does some really great work, but not enough that I’m willing to pay a sub for it.
Gotta give a shout out to Oculus Imperia for warhammer content! Not exactly for watching so much as listening, but his narration is impeccable and all of his stuff I’ve seen has been of top quality

If someone had to watch just one Incognito Mode video, I would recommend "future, followed by the second part in JonTron’s channel.

Some More News - a disheveled and sarcastic anchor does a deep dive into a current topic
Contrapoints - an ex-philosopher does a really deep dive into a topic (sometimes a concept or a phenomenon, sometimes a particular person or event), with incredibly high production value and costumes. Unfortunately this means she only puts out 2 videos a year, but they’re now usually 1-2 hours long.
Podcasts - some have YT channels, but often no video, so if you’re looking for something to watch, this may not be helpful
Behind the Bastards - a deep dive (often 2+ hour+ episodes) into different historical or current terrible people
5-4 - a podcast about why the Supreme Court sucks
Maintenance Phase - two journalists talk about various health, diet, and wellness scams and misconceptions
If Books Could Kill (no YT channel) - Michael Hobbes from Maintenance Phase and Peter from 5-4 talk about “airport books”–bad pop science books
You’re Wrong About - Sarah Marshall and Michael Hobbes (until late 2021) talk about pop culture misconceptions, everything from O.J. to the Satanic Panic to Iran-Contra and more.

Veritasium
Veritasium tends to push stuff that’s relatively promotion - based. Not so different to kurzgesagt.
I’ve seen a couple of rebuttals from his videos that were sobering.
EDIT: That said he’s a great communicator and his black hole video helped me a lot trying to make sense of it.
Do you happen to have a link to any of the rebuttals? I watch him a lot so I’m curious.
This is one I found: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CM0aohBfUTc, they go a bit with the Veritasium guy in the comments.
A similar thing also happened before to CGP Grey with Adam Something (https://youtu.be/oafm733nI6U), though I would argue that I didn’t think CGP Grey had any secret agenda, it was just overreaching.
That said, even the people I mention here they are also biassed in their own ways or they tend to now and then throw a foul ball.
I simply felt that both Veritasium and Kurgesagt are very good at convincing of certain opinions shared with their promoters.

The ISHITANI FURNITURE channel is a goldmine of craftsman info. One day I will make my own bed like his.
Haven’t seen anyone mention Posy. The guy made an entire video on mouse cursors, it’s great.
there’s a community for that, https://lemmy.world/c/youtubepitch
Hi there! Looks like you linked to a Lemmy community using a URL instead of its name, which doesn’t work well for people on different instances. Try fixing it like this: !youtubepitch@lemmy.world
PBS Space Time and Stand-up Maths are two of my favourites.
