On your homepage, click the three dots next to a video and click "do not recommend channel" It's one of the very few things that actually work
Do not recommend channel doesnt work. It only pauses recommendations for a few weeks. I've selected do not recommend on channels several times and they still sneak back in.

I was an avid viewer until he stepped in my area of expertise and leveraged technicalities, half-truths, and misrepresentation to really juice up the click-baityness and "wow!" factor. My interest in his videos plunged after that, and it seemed like he was re-alinging for consistent high views over straight hard factual education. Frankly I wish I could purge him from my feed at this point (youtube still recommends a…
He was bought out by private equity.[0] That’s why the channel is different now. [0] https://www.electrify.video/post/electrify-completes-majorit...
Can't leave out Dr. Angela Collier: https://www.youtube.com/@acollierastro Hopefully author reads HN.
She's very hit or miss in her quality IMO. Also, she's explicitly disclaimed the title of "science communicator", so she might not want to be on this list anyway. :) I kind of wish they hadn't included Veritasium either. He seems to have gone downhill.

I highly recommend turning off watch history on YouTube. it stops recommending you videos entirely; just watch what you subscribe to
List is incomplete without some other high quality channels already mentioned in other threads, but also Anton Petrov[1]'s channel, Sixty Symbols[2], Science Clic[3] and Artem Kirsanov[4]. Animalogic[5] certainly worth mentioning. And absolutely stunning Journey to Microcosmos[6].

Her content is mostly meta, vs science comm/teaching. I am really torn on her: Great communicator, funny, accomplished. Seems confident/smug?/conservative for a scientist. Something about her word choice and style feels more politician than learner/researcher. Not sure how to phrase this.
Who has time for videos? I know lots watch them, but wow - reading is so much more efficient. I can skip ahead - and skim - or revisit; I can annotate; I can save, transcribe (copy/paste), I read so much faster than even accelerated video can play .... and all so much more easily. By sticking to reading, am I missing out on content? Edit: Not a criticism of watching video, I'm wondering if I'm missing substantial thi…

That's an interesting perspective. I definitely don't get a "politician" tone from her. Her tone seems very casual to me. Conservative in the broad sense, maybe (definitely not politically).
For more in-depth physics, combining mathematical detail with excellent visualizations, the best channels I've found are Richard Behiel, Physics Explained, Dr Jorge Diaz For mathematics, I really appreciate the simpl but effective format of Richard Borcherds (Fields medalist) https://www.youtube.com/@richarde.borcherds7998
Behiel is to 3Blue1Brown as a popular children's cartoon is to its late sequel series that aged up with its audience.
Excellent work.
I especially like his more recent trend of going line by line through famous papers. EPR and Bell's Inequality to date.
