I’m sorry if this is not the best place for this, I couldn’t think of anywhere better to ask about it

the reason most of these people are youtubers is because I went through my youtube subscriptions for ideas

edit: I’ve just realized I forgot to add rule to the title but I don’t know how to fit it in there with it looking not bad

    Just YouTubers? I don’t really know them as people but I think the content they create is admirable at least:

    Electroboom

    Mark Rober <- Never mind, apparently he’s down with Autism Speaks (a shitty group that wants to “cure” neurodivergence) That’s a shame.

    Kurzgesagt

    SmarterEveryDay

    Oversimplified

    Vsauce

    Veritasium

    Captain Disillusion

    ZeFrank

    ForgottenWeapons

    I guess I’m kind of a sucker for educational stuff.

        ZeFrank is fucking hilarious, but also, technically informative as well.

        Edit: Hmm, maybe I should also add YourGrammarSucks too…

          Zefrank makes exactly the sort of content that’s required to get bored kids interested in a science. He is doing us a public service.

      Personally, Veritasium is out of that list for me due to some of his more recent videos. He still has some good content but I really disliked that “rods from God” video where it feels like he’s basically doing the same thing as the “How Ridiculous” guys and trying to disguise it as science communication. And the (admittedly few) ones where he’s basically disguising advertising as his regular content.

      I nominate BobbyBroccoli to take his spot.

          Ok so not nessesarialy a dick, just a strong reaction with his name sorry.

          In his video saying he has an autistic son, he did a charity event for NEXT for autism, who wish to ‘cure’ autism, and have worked with Autism speaks before. The actual event before changes made due to criticism had like no autistic voices present. I don’t think Mark is a dick because he seems to genuinely love his son, but was just uninformed about the harm that group does.

            I’d call that disappointing, Autism Speaks is a shitty group. Neurodivergence doesn’t need to be “cured”. I even thought Rober might be on the spectrum himself.

      Gamers Nexus is good for PC stuff, they do factory tours of PC parts manufacturing and testing/analysis of PC parts

      Louslis Rossmann has great mackbook repair videos and now does lots of advocy for right to repair

      Strange Parts does all sorts of electronics stuff and has been doing pretty cook factory tours too

      Project Farm tests everything and does a great job of it

      Kurzgesagt is a shitty neoliberal who greenwashes the future involving climate change. I’m not sure if he’s paid by oil companies or if he just loves huffing their balls that much.
