Title essentially. Youtube's algorithm is hot garbage, so I can't search for anything anymore without a ton of AI slop and rage bait. So, who do you go to for actual good long form videos? Exposes, scandals, behind the scenes, documentaries, film, travel, transit, who do you recommend I follow?

Brick immortar- probably the single most technical long form YT channel in the engineering disasters category

NNKH - fixing things that probably shouldn't be bothered with.

Green dot aviation - air disasters and near disasters

Pilot debrief - light aviation crash analysis

Andrew camarata - long, long form time lapse videos of running backhoes and dozers to cut roads and things, nice to relax to.

The great war - I watch on nebula but I think they are on YT too.

Hoog - explainers

Bald and bankrupt - I've heard mixed things about the guy as a person but his videos are entertaining, in the "travel to unusual places" genre

Integza - another one on nebula but I think also on YT. Building rocket engines with 3d printers, etc

Driving 4 answers - probably the single best automotive focused engineering channel
