@Ragdoll_X@lemmy.world avatar

Sorry to give you false hope 😔

But I still believe that we'll get at least one video this year! 😭

TWeaK ,

Yeah ditto :( but Jenny Nicholson released a 4 hour video on the Star Wars Hotel just recently.

drislands ,

And it's so ridiculously good. The NYT even wrote an article about it.

Wait, that's awesome! I'll have to check that out :)

randomaside ,

10/10 video. She knocked it out of the park.

smokebuddy ,

watched the whole video then the song at the end got me cracking up so hard haha whole thing is great

smokebuddy ,

YT pushed me her Evermore one last night, was the first I ever heard of it. Good video, accurate meme

d2k1 ,

In case you didn't know, Münecat recently uploaded a three-hour video debunking evolutionary psychology: https://youtu.be/31e0RcImReY

I figure the overlap between hbomberguy and münecat viewers in the Venn diagram is basically a circle, so that should help if you have an hbomberguy craving.

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

@driving_crooner@lemmy.eco.br avatar

Missing all the mathematics channels smh. (Numberphile, mathologer, 3blue1brown...)

DogWater ,

It's true, I'm subbed to 2 of those

JasonDJ , (edited )

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.

DogWater ,

Oh shit practical engineering! I have Grady!

Also undecided with Matt Farrell

Phegan ,

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.

DogWater ,

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.

Got_Bent ,

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.

DogWater ,

You're right about stuff made here. Love that.

humbletightband ,

False alarm,hbomberguy did not publish recently

bellly ,
@bellly@lemm.ee avatar

Majuular does great video game retrospectives :3 n he funni too

buzz86us ,

I love Ed's auto reviews no matter how random the car he covers

PlexSheep , (edited )

Short list of favorite long YouTube "documentaries":

All of these are very good

Damn, these playlists are gold, some of the things I watched are included.

jsomae ,

I have never played genshin impact and I object fundamentally to gatcha games. But I like video games a lot. Should I watch?

PlexSheep ,

Definitely! I never played it too and the video was amazing!

Wav_function ,

Bobby broccoli! So good

CptEnder ,

But seriously it's that Christian Bale?

itsnotits ,

is* that

DogWater ,

It's no tits

Or it's not it's

Video essays somehow skip past my eternally short attention span

NecroParagon , (edited )

Only when they become a recap of the subject for 90% of it do I get annoyed, lol.

I've never even thought to look into JP lore. But this is my front page now

JayDee , (edited )

Also check out Fredrik Knudsen's DTRB

I have not been able to get up from a single one of his videos. They're all addictively well-paced and written. All great vids.

DogWater ,

Nice I'll check this out for sure

Pheral ,

One of my absolute favorites!

Thteven ,
@Thteven@lemmy.world avatar

The 6 hour video about EVE Online was a ride.

NorthWestWind ,
@NorthWestWind@lemmy.world avatar

Where's pannenkoek2012's Super Mario 64 invisible walls explanation video on your list?

PlexSheep ,

I know that name, what a legend

someguy3 ,

Technology connections.

Ahoy.

xpinchx ,

My favorite is summoning salt.

faceula ,

Yeah me too. I had no idea I could be fascinated by something I had absolutely no interest in.

Jiggle_Physics ,

Also Cathode Ray Dude

And then for a hat trick, throw in Big Clive.

toastal ,

He’s the perfect size—they shouldn’t make YouTubers bigger than that

bjoern_tantau ,
@bjoern_tantau@swg-empire.de avatar

I mean, you gotta learn about the failure of the Star Wars hotel!

irq0 ,

I didn't wake up planning to watch a 4hr video in the failure of the Star Wars hotel but I'm weirdly glad I did

thal3s ,
@thal3s@sh.itjust.works avatar

Jenny’s video was so damn good, I’ve started watching her back catalog.

driving_crooner ,
@driving_crooner@lemmy.eco.br avatar

My wife: we're not going to watch a 4hr video about the Stars Wars Hotel.

My wife, 3hs50min into the Star Wars Hotel video: I need to know more!!

AgentGrimstone ,

I only get sucked into these if I like the narrator's style. Some people just have a natural way of talking that can keep my attention no matter what they're talking about.

MrScottyTay ,

There's a lot of YouTubers that started doing big videos like that and i just don't have the time to watch something like that and give it all my attention. Same with caddicarus, used to watch both of these a lot but since they started having massively long videos i just haven't bothered with them in ages

Skua ,

You definitely don't have to watch it all in one go. I usually just watch however much of it I want to watch that day and then send myself a time stamped link to pick it back up whenever I have the time and interest again

Of course if you're just not interested that's totally fair

magic_lobster_party ,

I usually have those kind of things in the background while I cook or wash dishes.

GissaMittJobb ,

At that point, you're basically just listening to podcasts. Leaning into it might be a good choice, since there's no visual element that gets lost when listening to podcasts, as compared to YouTube videos.

TheTetrapod ,

I would guess 80% of the people who watch these aren't actually watching them. Hell, background play is the real reason I pay for YouTube Premium. Not having to worry about ads is a nice bonus.

ninjabard ,

Defunctland has some of the best researched stuff I've seen. His dive into the Disney Channel Theme is absolutely incredible.
