Maybe not that interesting for everyone here, but I found no better community for this.

What are Astrum, Fireship and Hoog?

[–] umbraroze@slrpnk.net 2 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Astrum makes space stuff videos? I dunno, been a while.

Fireship makes videos about programming. Has series about "(Programming language/Framework) explained in 100 seconds", for example. I think people are complaining that the channel is slipping into AI dudebroery.

Hoog is a history/explainer type channel, I think.

Thanks for the information!

Other YouTube channels? I said that.

[–] toynbee@lemmy.world 2 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Yes, and also I was able to extrapolate that much, but I was looking for some idea of what kind of content they provided.

That said, I can look them up; apologies for bothering you on the matter.

oh, sorry, I misunderstood your question. Veritasium and Astrum are science channels, Fireship covers programming. fern. and Hoog do what I guess you could call deep dive videos on all sorts of topics. everything from how the North Korean king travels, to how that giant hotel aquarium broke several years ago. it's pretty random with them.

Thank you for the information.

yeah np. despite their ownership, all these channels are pretty good, just keep in mind they might sometimes have bias.
