Among others that have already been mentioned (Applied Science, Bon Appetit, Food Wishes, etc.): * Game Maker's Toolkit -- in depth analysis of game mechanics and game design (from a journalist / player perspective, not so much a technical one -- though he does host yearly game jams -- my point-and-type entry last year was https://vgel.itch.io/themengi ) * NativLang -- (Mostly comparative / descriptive) linguistics v…

If you enjoy game makers toolkit the GDC channel has a lot of good similar stuff.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

Examples of staging videos?

If I remember right, he staged some of the "glitter bomb" footage. Something like half the footage was of actual thieves. The other half was of people he knows. He didn’t disclose this until the video went viral. I’m not aware of any other staged footage, but I’d be interested to hear if there is any.

The cherry on top is that he let someone else build the glitter bomb but his channel gets all the clicks/subscribers.

Lindsay Ellis. While she does mostly film movies, she's also done some great documentaries about YouTube, fair use, etc. It's very long form, with not a lot of clickbait or CTAs. I think she's heading more that way these days, and she is entertaining, insightful, and wicked smart.

Hey shitty fag, get raped and contract AIDS.

Let's enumerate why ur a faggy little bitch.

  1. cody had the feds show up
     and they confiscated a 
     tritium sample.

  2. there were no faults 
     against cody's radiological or 
     chemical hygiene. 
     (proven by his continued activity)

  3. he still has the yellow 
     cake. it's in a marked 
     container, as per a 
     recent video.

  4. kanyon was kind of a 
     butter face. who fucking
     cares what she does? the 
     channel predates her 
     appearance, and now she's 
     making cat videos. big deal.

  5. it's summer. cody has a 
     few months to cool off, 
     and square his shit away.
     college is like this.
So fuck off with your gossipy, cunty bullshit.

Who the fuck is Ryan Mercer? Some dipshit posting faggoty comments on HN like a little bitch.

Have a nice life, you fucking nobody.

Numberphile and Computerphile : maths and computer topics. I learned all about the Enigma machine on there. Standupmaths with Matt Parker, inventor of the famous "Parker Square" Ben Eater : Electronics, breadboards, computer logic. Astronogeek (in French) : astronomy. He also debunks UFO and crop circle stuff.

I just discovered Ben Eater!!
