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?

The video on pinball machines was absolutely incredible

So ... Do you have any recommendations for more like technology connections? I've watched through every video+even the ones in the backlog). A year or so ago I stumbled on cathode ray dude (similar nerd vibes) and I've also seen everything from him so if anyone has a recommendation on similar channels please let me know.

TechMoan might be up your alley

He's definitely similar and I've seen a couple of vids of his. But he didn't quite "catch" me the same way.

So it's not exactly the same but in my head they're heavily related. NightHawkInLight. He's this rural tinkerer/chemist dude that takes real science papers and patent info, then tries to reproduce and refine them with easier and more available means. He's done really cool stuff with fire resistant paint, radiative cooling, and phase change materials. Plus, he has a similar " Midwestern" delivery style that's low key and easy to listen to. Everytime he releases a video I'm excited to see what he's been up to
