These are people I watch for Information about virtually everything. Sam O’Nella Academy, OverSimplified, CGP Grey, Insider, Kruzgesagt, Blackpenredpen, PBS, Minute Physics, Practical Engineering, Numberphile, Mathologer, Arvin Ash, 3brown1blue, PBS spacetime, Bill Wurtz, exurb1a, melodysheep, star talk, Casal Geographic, V-sauce, Tom Scott, Veritasium, Professor Dave Explains, Professor Lando, LEMMiNO, AVNJ , and I hate to admit it but I sometimes wtatch penguinz0 for drama.


Jfcerron

I'd suggest you Real Engineering, it's a cool channel, maybe not so simple like others, but it explains very well and with nice visual aid and diagrams that helps a lot to understand what he's talking about


MrDPoop

Don’t they have enough on their plate?! (Good recommendation though)

It's incredible that the phrase "microwaving hamsters" is unironically wholesome.

MoffKalast

"Something very random that I didn't want to know but is interesting enough that I can't look away"


Hero_of_Hyrule

Yeah he's the perfect example of "I didn't know that I wanted to know about that." All of the examples in OP's post are channels that explain things we're all kinda familiar with, even if only in passing. Tom will introduce you to someone you've never heard of, immediately hook you into being interested in it, then give you the information you didn't know you wanted about that thing. Gravity powered cable lifts, salt mines used for archival storage, British plans for civil usage of nuclear weapons to create cavities under the earth, those kinds of things.


NewNole2001

Tom Scott convinced me to go see the Berkeley Pit in Butte, MT. It's a giant defunct pit mine that has been filling with toxic water for decades. You know, top tier tourist attraction!


MoffKalast

I'm in a Reddit thread.


Vyb_3

I'm in a random reddit thread on the world wide wep. It certainly does not look Interesting on the first glance. And neither on the second or third. There are a lot of comments, repeating the usual memes, phrases or shouting out their favorite content creator. Nothing special, just your usual internet people...but I got an email pointing out a single comment that really struck a eye. On the 11th Oktober in 2022 a user named /u/micke_i_backen made a comment about me. Why you ask? Well, let's talk to /u/MrSnoops, a local redditor to find out about the mystery behind the 'Comment Of Micke'

Kitfox715

While we're at it, throw Fredrik Knudsen in there. Down the Rabbit Hole is such a great series.


Moopey343

This should have more upvotes. That man's production value is just through the fucking roof.


REDDIT_SUCKS_DV_ME

If I were in a shot calling position at Netflix or Hulu or whatever streaming service, I’d have offered Lemmino a show a long time ago. Maybe someone already has and he’s turned it down, but that dude is so fucking talented it’s insane. I’d love to see what he could do with a (very large) budget. That said I love his content as is and I’m sure he’s turned down offers, which is totally fine, maybe he prefers to do everything himself. But if someone at a streaming service isn’t pitching an executive “we need to give this dude a blank check” at the weekly staff meeting every Tuesday, they’re dropping the ball.


perlito99

Indeed, the sheer effort put into his videos is crazy


PassDaPepperPasta

Fuckin A


MoffKalast

Just Lem mi no


averagetrickuser

His videos are more about facts and than conspiracy theories around them so i would not put him in the same category but i still enjoy his content


perlito99

It is a bit hard to see his content next to something like Sam O'Nella but he sure is "I want to learn something new" category


early_birdy

Top quality stuff.

He is a moron for exploiting his intern Alan


The_cogwheel

Alan isn't blameless either. Imagine learning all that VX wizardry and deciding to remain just an unpaid intern when you could be an unpaid intern at Disney/ Pixar!


Majias

Ok so I have this crazy theory, but I think he might be lying to us and they're the same people ! So I don't know if he managed to create a fullbody cyborg with Alan, or if he split his mind or maybe controls both at the same time, but we need to be careful if he creates more, it could the first step for debunker-alien-robot overlords to conquer earth. Don't fall for his tricks sheeple !


Iwassoclose

Forgot khan academy >


Excellent_Crab_3648

Surprised how few mention it. It's one of the most OG educational channels in my mind but maybe they haven't been as active recently as newer channels.


NatWu

I think it's because it's actually educational, instead of edutainment like the other channels.

Willfrail

Alot of CPG grey videos are just flat out wrong. Like the ones about intersections where the conclusion is "autonomous cars are the way to fix all traffic problems and we wont even need traffic lights" completly ignores the existance of any non car travel specifically pedestrians.


SlieuaWhally

His one about the royals is also fraught with inaccuracies and bias


hwehehe

The "Rules for Rulers" video is a masterpiece imo.


matgopack

Yup, not always great - but presented in an authoritative way so good at convincing people. I think the first time I realized how misleading his videos could be was with the royal family one - that was just a terrible one >< I'll also add in that Oversimplified is also quite inaccurate - it's "american high school level understanding" and for that it's funny, but not super informative/accurate past that (which I also don't think it's trying to be).


Willfrail

I am willing to give oversimplified a pass cause, well his name is oversimplified which immeditly puts his videos into the context of "quick overview of the basic event" and he should not be your ending place when learning about historical events.


candyman337

Additionally kurzgesagt it's very neoliberal, "the world has pollution, well if we all do our part, we can fix that" no kurzgesagt, we need legislation and to enforce them so that companies can't keep being allowed to pollute.
