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?
Technology Connections. I now know an absurd amount about home AC, pinball machines, and refrigerators.
Lets talk about latent heat and the refrigeration cycle!

Folding Ideas is basically must-watch content. Dan's thoughtfulness and thoroughness are unmatched.
Angela Collier goes into detail on physics topics, especially astrophysics. Don't miss her video on crackpots.
If you're into 3D printing you should be watching CNC Kitchen. Stefan does a lot of stress-test comparisons between different filaments and printing settings.
Moon Channel has some of the best sociocultural documentaries I've seen on YouTube. I particularly recommend Kawaii: Anime, Propaganda, and Soft Power Politics.
Practical Engineering is excellent. Grady is a civil engineer who discusses infrastructure and makes excellent demonstration models like this one on Why Engineers Can't Control Rivers.
The 8-Bit Guy will teach you things about the early days of digital computers that you didn't know enough to ask.
Jenny Nicholson does some great reviews of pop culture topics. Her video about Evermore: the theme park that wasn't is fantastic, as is her review of Disney's Galactic Cruiser (the Star Wars hotel).
Another great list.
Practical Engineering is beloved. I used to like Smarter Everyday about the same, but Grady is just so much more consistent and interesting on the infrastructure world.
And Jenny is a geek I can get along with. The Starwars hotel failure was fascinating. Wish there was a bit more economic context, but she's great.
Looking forward to some binges here.
I just watched the entire star wars hotel video. I think they could have probably made it 10x shorter, and yet I wasn't bored watching the entire thing.
LEMMiNO - doesn't post videos often but it's good stuff when he does
Animagraffs makes 3d explainers of how machines/vehicles work. The one on the “Big Boy” steam engine is amazing.
Ancient Americas talks about pre-columbian America
Some More News is excellent!
Coffezilla does awesome journalism.
ExtraHistory has also really stepped up it's game.
If you’re into cooking, history, or both, Tasting History with Max Miller is great. Lots of wonderful history, from the common to the obscure. He works hard to find primary sources for every story he shares, as well as calling out fake stories. He also corrects himself when he gets something wrong. And the recipes are fascinating!
Been getting into Bonsai Mirai lately. Very educational, in-depth videos about how to do Bonsai, with tips for everyone from a beginner to an expert. Also very relaxing to watch.
Friendlyjordies - Australian news and politics (plus Warhammer 40k and some other random stuff, not sure if he'll go back to politics now)
Adam Conover - usually talks about tech, politics, etc, has long-form videos talking to experts or shorter videos talking about topics
Punter's Politics - Aussie politics
Joe Scott - talks about tech etc
Doctor Elliott - psychology and LGBT stuff in TV shows
Matt Baume - history of LGBT in cinema and Hollywood
Tale Foundry - literature tropes etc
Belief it or Not - atheist breaking down Christianity (for ex-Christians who are struggling and need help breaking away from the mental hold it has)
Jill Bearup - movie fight scenes from a trained actor combatant PoV
(Hope these were what you're looking for, apologies for lack of links, I'm on mobile)
The granddaddy of science fiction and futurism channels is Science Fiction and Futurism with Isaac Arthur. The channel has content for days about all kinds of shenanigans humans could be getting up to in space and beyond.
A close second is futurist and science fiction author John Michael Godier. His voice will either weigh your soul down to the core of the earth or you'll find it grating... there's really no in-between.
Patrick (H) Willems is great movie criticism with plot.
