Shameless plug of my playlists:

Edit: Yes the playlists are very much still incomplete and a work in progress. I promise I’ll eventually add the recommendations yall made!

      In case you didn’t know, Münecat recently uploaded a three-hour video debunking evolutionary psychology: https://youtu.be/31e0RcImReY

      I figure the overlap between hbomberguy and münecat viewers in the Venn diagram is basically a circle, so that should help if you have an hbomberguy craving.

      Sorry to give you false hope 😔

      But I still believe that we’ll get at least one video this year! 😭

    Defunctland has some of the best researched stuff I’ve seen. His dive into the Disney Channel Theme is absolutely incredible.

    I only get sucked into these if I like the narrator’s style. Some people just have a natural way of talking that can keep my attention no matter what they’re talking about.

    There i think that’s it. That’s a ton of stuff but I really follow more quality YouTube than anything else and I like sharing great YouTube channels. If you enjoy interesting YouTube I would honestly just check a couple of these out and see if the topics fit your interests.

    These channels range from science, space, physics, to history, sports, cars, to tech, movies, games, to makers who build stuff seriously as well as builders who make stuff silly.

    Not everything here is video essay, but it’s high quality content imo

      Based on the names I know on this list, I am super excited to check out the ones I don’t. Thanks!

      Also check out miniminuteman too. Good pseudoscience/conspiracy theory debunking.

      I know several of those. One I don’t see listed is stuff made here. If you’re a fan of backyard scientist, you’re gonna love stuff made here.

      Smarter everyday is really a special one. The way that guy involves his kids and his own boyish excitement when he finally gets an experiment right is downright heartwarming. Then there was the whole episode checking in on physics girl. He had no particular incentive to do that. He just really seems to care.

    Also check out Fredrik Knudsen’s DTRB

    I have not been able to get up from a single one of his videos. They’re all addictively well-paced and written. All great vids.
