me whenever hbomberguy uploads a new video

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

irq0 , 16 days ago

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 , 16 days ago

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

driving_crooner , 16 days ago

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!!

someguy3 , 16 days ago

Technology connections.

Ahoy.

xpinchx , 16 days ago

My favorite is summoning salt.

faceula , 16 days ago

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

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

toastal , 16 days ago

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

konalt , 16 days ago

I thought hbomberguy uploaded :(

Ragdoll_X OP , 16 days ago (edited 16 days ago)

Sorry to give you false hope 😔

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

TWeaK , 16 days ago

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

drislands , 16 days ago

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

machinaeZER0 , 16 days ago

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

randomaside , 16 days ago

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

smokebuddy , 14 days ago

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

smokebuddy , 16 days ago

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

d2k1 , 16 days ago

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.

slimarev92 , 16 days ago

Why are you teasing me like this? He didn't upload anything.

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 , 15 days ago (edited 15 days ago)

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

DogWater , 15 days ago

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

JasonDJ , 15 days ago (edited 15 days ago)

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 , 15 days ago

Oh shit practical engineering! I have Grady!

Also undecided with Matt Farrell

Phegan , 15 days ago

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 , 15 days ago

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 , 15 days ago

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 , 14 days ago

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

AgentGrimstone , 16 days ago

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.

CptEnder , 16 days ago

But seriously it's that Christian Bale?

itsnotits , 15 days ago

is* that

DogWater , 15 days ago

It's no tits

Or it's not it's

ninjabard , 16 days ago

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

YaksDC , 16 days ago

It seems like I will only watch either a 15 min video or a 4 hour one. I just don't seem to like the very short form video format. It does allow enough time for even a single subject.

With one exception, I'll watch a lockpicking lawyer at any length.

NorthWestWind , 16 days ago

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

PlexSheep , 15 days ago

I know that name, what a legend

MrScottyTay , 16 days ago

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 , 16 days ago

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 , 16 days ago

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

GissaMittJobb , 16 days ago

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 , 16 days ago

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.

Cowbee , 15 days ago

Video essays somehow skip past my eternally short attention span

NecroParagon , 15 days ago (edited 15 days ago)

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

I blame my office job

Bishma , 16 days ago

The real commitment is when somebody like Plainly Difficult uploads an annual omnibus of all their videos for the year. I watched them all individually, then I watch them again in 9 hour form.

chtk , 16 days ago

Your playlists are missing all of Noah Caldwell-Gervais' video's.

NaibofTabr , 16 days ago

I think you'd also like NakeyJakey's game design essays and infernoplus on halo modding.

Thank you for sharing your playlists!
