Title essentially. Youtube’s algorithm is hot garbage, so I can’t search for anything anymore without a ton of AI slop and rage bait. So, who do you go to for actual good long form videos? Exposes, scandals, behind the scenes, documentaries, film, travel, transit, who do you recommend I follow?

A Catholic socialist, a Jewish anarchist, and a Muslim communist walk into a bar, and they make a podcast about engineering disasters: Well There’s Your Problem. It’s great for that intersection of people for whom the phrase “crimes against TERFs aren’t crimes” resonates and like listening to an engineer complain about low quality as-builts 2 hours into a 3 hour episode about 9/11
I was sold on the show when I found out that the episode about the Titanic was split into two parts, totaling around 5 and 1/2 hours. That’s partially because they spend a lot of time bullshitting, and partially because they go really in-depth about how and why structures fail
Folding Ideas is fantastic
Adding a few I haven’t already seen:
- https://www.youtube.com/@NeverKnowsBest - very long form videos on video games
- https://www.youtube.com/c/SummoningSalt - documentaries on speedrunning in various games
- https://www.youtube.com/@Steve1989MRE - reviews of military rations, spanning from very old to very new
- https://www.youtube.com/@NotJustBikes - videos on urbanism from the perspective of The Netherlands
- https://www.youtube.com/@SkipIntroYT - videos about TV shows
Steve is a legend. Love that guy.
in addition to a lot of others already mentioned (there’s a lot of overlap)
History:
culture/politics:
writing/education:
media/ect:
-
Tale Foundry (technically about writing fiction, but they also discuss media in general along with its themes, character archetypes, ect. it’s more interesting than it sounds)
-
Jacob Geller (mostly video games)
-
My Little Thought Tree (also psychology)
I was trying to see if someone else was going to mention F. D.
Shame for yours to be at the bottom; this is a good list of choices, in general. Excellent taste.
