Longer video game essays (1h+)
Edit: Yes the playlists are very much still incomplete and a work in progress. I promise I'll eventually add the recommendations yall made!

There i think that's it. That's a ton of stuff but I really follow more quality YouTube than anything else and I like sharing great YouTube channels. If you enjoy interesting YouTube I would honestly just check a couple of these out and see if the topics fit your interests.
These channels range from science, space, physics, to history, sports, cars, to tech, movies, games, to makers who build stuff seriously as well as builders who make stuff silly.
Not everything here is video essay, but it's high quality content imo
Based on the names I know on this list, I am super excited to check out the ones I don't. Thanks!
Also check out miniminuteman too. Good pseudoscience/conspiracy theory debunking.
Nice! My list here is science, videogames, tech, cars, sports, spooky conspiracy stuffs, and space
So if youre interested in a topic let me know I can point you to the right channels.
Missing all the mathematics channels smh. (Numberphile, mathologer, 3blue1brown...)
It's true, I'm subbed to 2 of those
How you gonna have Wendover and not Half as Interesting (his shorter form side-channel)?
No Road Guy Rob? Or Practical Engineering?
No Extra History? (I only know him from Nebula but I think he's on YouTube too)
Also recommend 8bit-Guy for retro computing and Modern Vintage Gamer for retro gaming.
Oh shit practical engineering! I have Grady!
Also undecided with Matt Farrell
I know several of those. One I don't see listed is stuff made here. If you're a fan of backyard scientist, you're gonna love stuff made here.
Smarter everyday is really a special one. The way that guy involves his kids and his own boyish excitement when he finally gets an experiment right is downright heartwarming. Then there was the whole episode checking in on physics girl. He had no particular incentive to do that. He just really seems to care.
You're right about stuff made here. Love that.
