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

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.

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

But seriously it's that Christian Bale?

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.

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

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

Video essays somehow skip past my eternally short attention span

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

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.

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

Thank you for sharing your playlists!

If you want a rabbithole watch mort theory

Short list of favorite long YouTube "documentaries":

• https://youtu.be/fIuhg0bjvQI
• https://youtu.be/Qe5WT22-AO8
• https://youtu.be/yXbJe-rUNP8 (5 fucking hours about the sm64 a button challenge)
• https://youtu.be/0twDETh6QaI
• https://youtu.be/suRdLbdfdhA

All of these are very good

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

dude I'm supposed to learn how to taxes, not be reminded to crawl back into the rabbit hole of how to sharpen a knife on a whetstone by hand

False alarm,hbomberguy did not publish recently

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.

Glad to see Tim Rogers on that playlist - guy is one of the best in the biz
