What are lemmy’s favorite video channels for more depth then you get from average news and television sources?
Prerun is one that comes to mind as he digs, thinks, and explains, and is willing to say he’s wrong. Business Insider is another one that has a great number of in depth topics, even if not quite as much as one might want sometimes. DW is another. RealLifeLore also seems to some great explaining. LegalEagle similar.
All of these are debatable to a greater or lesser degree, but I’m interested in alternative sources. What else is out there? What platform? Why?
Behind The Bastards… Tells you about history’s greatest bastards.
I really like what they do but mostly find them unlistenable. If you don’t enjoy listening to people just chatting and making lots of—often bad—jokes in the middle of the narrative, this podcast is not for you.
If you don’t mind that, they do a great job of deep diving into the history of despicable people.
If you want a deep dive on how fridges, christmas lights, or oldschool pinball machines operate, you need Alec at https://www.youtube.com/@TechnologyConnections
You will never get your hours back, and you’ll still be happy about it.
If you mention the word “heat pump” in the suburbs of Chicago too loudly you may be stopped for a brief hour-long explainer.
You can find Alec on Mastodon, too.
I’ll throw in my two cents; Whitelight.
His bio describes his channel perfectly, “the dark souls of game media.”
Goes super in depth reviewing games, such as how they’re structured, and somehow keeps me entertained throughout
LEMMiNO - doesn’t post videos often but it’s good stuff when he does
