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?
Depends how long is long form for you, if you mean like multi hour videos I have less to give. But for like 25 to 40 minutes videos:
Practical engineering - educational videos about civil engineering.
Dr. Becky - space/astronomy news from an astrophysicist.
Plainly difficult - civil disaster documentaries
Joseph Anderson - gaming essays (multi hour)
Raycevick - gaming essays (around 30min)
The sphere hunter - game essays, mainly classic horror
Jay Foreman - British comedy.
LGR - retro tech deep dives, and tech oddware.
Joe Scott - Did you know, style investigations.
Plus some already mentioned. There is probably more, but keeping this shorter.
Jay Foreman - definitely British, definitely funny, but its much more than that. Their series Unfinished London talks about infrastructure over the last hundred years and how it’s affected the layout of the city. Really interesting and pretty funny.
I don’t know what changed but I don’t like Anderson as much these days
