    If you wanna learn from the best chef in the world:

    You Suck At Cooking! Yeah, you totally suck!

    Or Preppy Kitchen if we’re being serious

    Legal stuff:

    Meidas Touch and Legal Eagle

    Retro video and music devices:

    Techmoan and VWestlife

    Also: Tom Scott. Or at least his backlog because he retired.

    And a very important one! - Science stuff: Potholer54 I can’t believe he doesn’t have millions of subs. It actually kind of makes me sad.

      One more for potholer54. He’s one of the oldies, right up there with DarkMatter2525.(probably my favorite), Professor Dave Explains, Myles Power and Martymer 81. Oh, and in this vein there’s a (relatively) new kid on the block: Forrest Valkai aka Renegade Science Teacher.

    I stopped watching kurzgesagt after their copium video on global warming where we all hold hands and sing and magically reverse it.

      I wasn’t gone on their video on the cruelty of the slaughter industrial complex where they bent over backwards to avoid suggesting veganism as the obvious solution.

      Here’s an existential threat to humanity, and the various ways that it’s worse than you think. But don’t worry! Capitalism will save the day by inventing solutions to our problems which won’t necessitate any restructuring of our society or economy!

      Thanks as always to our billionaire owners donors!

      I liked smarter every day but recently I have been kinda put off because of his fairly frequent military propaganda for USA’s military.

        Been a while I didn’t watch one of his videos, but I remember some US military stuff on there and I thought it was an interesting view from someone I think is smart but clearly doesn’t share my political leanings.

        Trying to not be in an echo chamber and all.

        Important to note that I don’t live in the US.

          That’s fair.

          But it’s not mainly his views that put me of (just kinda) it’s the paid and unpaid sponsorships with the military. It’s so obviously a recruitment strategy that it’s painful to watch.

          I don’t live in the USA either.

            He lives in Huntsville, Alabama. 95% of his neighbors are defense contractors. It isn’t sponsorships, it’s “this guy lives 40 feet away from me and does something interesting for a living”

              The description in multiple of the videos advertises navy or airforce recruitment. And in the non paid videos, why do you think he was given access, time, and permission to post the videos? For recruitment obviously.

                Not exactly a new tactic. Same thing for Top Gun and probably a bunch of other movies. Part recruitment, part public relations to improve their image.

                But the military does have some neat tech that most people won’t ever see. Like his series in the submarine, there was a lot of really cool.

                  Absolutely and that puts me off. Especially when they push out multiple ads across multiple youtubers at roughly the same time, like they did at one time with smartereveryday

          I can’t see the parent of this comment (defederated or blocked, idk), but it’s possible SmarterEveryDay believes in creationism as I believe he’s Christian. That said, I watch his channel religiously (har har) and as far as I can remember he hasn’t spread any creationist propaganda.

          The worst thing he’s done is make videos supporting the US Coast Guard. They’re still interesting and informative, but it’s still military propaganda in some sense. It’s fairly tame though.

          There are probably other edutainment creators to worry about more than him.

    I love how They’re positioned.

    Colorful on the bottom, black and white (mostly) on the top.

    Professional and well researched on the right.

    Shitposty on the left.
