    TL;DW:

    A lot of science-related YouTube channels get indirect funding from the US government.

      Inshallah The Infographics Show and Kuzgesagt shall fall. Also all those white person china-bad slop channels (I hope).

    YouTube is and has always been shit.

    Except for let’s game it out and kurzgesagt. In all the years of YouTube they’re literally the only fucking things I’ve ever found worth watching at all.

      I have enjoyed Anton Petrov, Parallax Nick, some PBS Spacetime and Crash Course, plus history content from the Austin school and other places.

      Kurzgesagt had quite a bit of really interesting content, but seems to have fallen off quite a bit in the last year or so.

        Great point - PBS Spacetime is actually great.

        I don’t watch YouTube very much at all so you may be right about kurzgezagt.
