21874 Youtube Recommendations
The other thread got me wondering about what youtube channels you lads can recommend. Topic can be anything, just what you find to be good and interesting to watch.

Learning:
>Issac Arthur
I posted one of his videos awhile ago but it's well worth repeating. Every Thursday he does a really interesting and in-depth look at science and futurism concepts and does a really good job of explaining them simply but also covering the unnoticed drawbacks and benefits.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k7fLNvpl0c8

>ElectroBOOM
He has kind of gone to shit over the past few months but this is still a good channel for basic electrical engineering fun.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7foDiXX-CcE

>Tom Scott
Mostly for his 'Things You Might Not Know' series. He goes over some pretty interesting things that you might never notice but are all around us.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Mm5khEUIBx0

Music:
>Marcel The Drunkard
Contemporary Jazz albums with influences all over the place.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=327WA_s4mhM

>Rare & Unfamiliar Music Hunt
Rare albums from around the world and probably your best sauce for classic Afrobeat and the sounds of the former Eastern Bloc.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wsnG0P8v_5E

>Du Matin au Soir
Mostly ambient, minimalist and experimental albums. It's good if you're doing a bit of work and don't want to sit in silence.

I didn't realise that NHK is still running its cats of Japan series. It's ongoing with a new episode soon.

Why is he autistic because you piss away your free time watching dreck on YouTube? I think the point otherlad was trying to make, in a roundabout way, was that if you're going to watch this shite, you should do so with a certain degree of shame. You don't see me coming into this thread posting seven hour plus VODs of a man doing increasingly occult Noita challenge runs. No, you don't. That's because I have a healthy degree of shame. You though, you're basically one of those gooner accounts they have on Twitter now.

It's all about what you expect to get out of watching a video. Do you expect your chippie down the street to deliver three star dining? Probably not. But if you are in the mood to just listen to a lazy youtuber reacting to reddit, then that channel is not the worst.

Reaction videos have always been the lowest hanging fruit on youtube, yes. But pardon us for not being youtube snobs.

Nowt pissy about my post. Also I wasn't referring to myself in the third person, that was my first contact with you regarding this video. "Actually, you're autistic for thinking some embarrassingly uninspired and uninteresting YouTube video isn't good" isn't really much of an own. It just makes you sound like a sixteen year old who has to be right about everything, no matter how stupid it is, and spends too much time on 4chan. If you didn't want people telling you how wank the video was, take the advice from my previous post and don't share it on here.

What I don't like about this guy, and many like him, is they want to have their cake and eat it. They make videos laughing at mentally ill autistic transwoman Elphaba, but because they dance around directly calling her a retarded evangelist christian korean youtuber, they don't alienate their main audience of retarded gen Z girls who have no issue with horrendous online bullying but who would balk at explicit transphobia, misogyny, or racism (implicit bigotry is fine though).

I watched a lot of him and other commentary YouTubers when I had fuck all else to do last year, and they're real subhuman pieces of shit.

Am I jealous they make six figures bullying mentally ill retards and whores like Bonnie Blue to an audience of vapid 17 year old girls? Yes. Yes I am.

It's a job I'd like to do because it's easy and potentially lucrative. There are also reasons I would not like to do it, mainly moral reasons. A full time job where I sit on my computer all day, compiling clips of TikTok retards and recording some commentary on them, sounds so fucking easy. And with a decent number of subscribers, you can make a lot of money from something so low effort. But being someone whose purpose in life is to create content like pic related, I'd feel less scummy selling arms to Israel than being one of these cancers upon society.

GeorgeM is not the worst of the commentary lot, and a lot of his content is harmless enough, but he's a cog in the "bullying mentally ill retards for money" machine.

This is really interesting. I spent about 25 minutes finding translations for the words. The conflict at the end is because the talkative guy betrayed a partner to the police to protect themselves (or possibly just because?). I can't make out the expression after the spit - is that supposed to convey a level of grief?

Yeah, he does hesitate slightly in telling the story. Great acting, from my perspective.

The video has had much more effect on me than I realised, it's been ruminating these last 4 hours.
I got the sense that the individuals portrayed lead radically different lives, with their only connection being the lingo. There's an underlying reason the book reader hadn't heard from the mutual friend in a while, not necessarily prison. It goes to show that gender expression and sexual orientation 'clubs' mean little more than surface detail, in terms of knowing a person.

With the level of coded language and underground activity, it's no wonder the intelligence services have reputations for banditry.

>took the spit on the face as something he deserved.
I half expected him to lick it, if I'm honest.

Not particularly astute observations but it's turned over in my mind.
Thanks for posting.

Superintendent Julie Spry.jpg
256752567525675
I enjoyed about 3 episodes of this before setting it to side viewing. The characters aren't particularly well written and some of the tropes are exhausted. It's rather juvenile but also a bit fun.

The makeup on Superintendent Julie Spry was good, but unusual. It looked like an uneven suntan. The white shadow on her lip was a brilliant touch, suggestive of an authoritive moustache and character background.

I want to see Mark Heap in other, non-type cast roles - the performance here was usual and boring (The character peaked on Friday Night Dinner). Conversely I loved the receptionist character and would like to meet her in real life - very sexy.

Most of the cadets weren't particularly interesting, I found myself more interested in the unvoiced extras.

I'm trying to watch it and feel like I should enjoy it on the grounds that it's just more Green Wing/Campus and I'd happily watch more of either of those, but I can't get comfortable with setting. Given the politics of the past few years it seems a very odd choice to make a police comedy.

I saw it as a recruitment series, if I'm honest. They're selling police academy.
Speaking of which this was a big film back in the day, not a touch of racism as I may poorly recall. What on earth happened?

There is a bit in the first Police Academy film where Harris calls Hooks "a dumb jigaboo" and so Hightower flips his car over, and then Hightower is really worried that he will be kicked out of the Police Academy. So the film itself opposes racism, but one of the characters does say something racist.

The tags also include the video title, which is able to be right/middle-clicked as well as the obvious benefit, whereas just pasting the link doesn't. For example:

He's another one of those lads who makes a living just commenting reddit, but he's not the worst. He does say that this is his full time job, and apparently it pays enough that it made him leave behind his career as a university educated engineer.

No wonder so many younguns want to be full time youtubers.

Note the faux American accent, probably learned through decades of watching American TV shows with subtitles on Swedish TV (Sweden is one of a few countries that don't dub foreign programmes). And some of the words he uses are just very slightly off in their meaning. A bit like those two long haired Swedish guys on Family Guy.

Would you like to spend an hour listening to someone talk about Star Trek ship logic?


Old Britannia is also managing to squeeze out a lot of original content of 19th-20th centuries


Art Chad also gives you some hard takes from the art world and what that means in our contemporary world which has lost meaning and become a simulacrum (he uses the analogy to world building):


I've also been watching Kyplanet which makes a pretty good space channel to watch before sleep. He tends to cover exoplanets and gives a reality check to some of the optimistic views people have online about habitability:

Yeah I would, but 10 minutes in he's giving massive emotional spoilers that might ruin my experience of Star Trek. A borg kissing Data? Picard re-living the final years of a lost civilisation? On the other hand I might not have known any of these.

I've stopped watching a lot of content like this unless I have zero investment in the topic matter. The videos are often ruinous to the newbies experience.

URL: https://www.youtube.com/@alvinzhoufilms

Infrequent (8 videos in the last 2 years) but high quality documentary style videos on asian food, focussing mostly on high-end but unlike most of YouTube, with the narrator as the observer. It's pretty good!

And some sculpty/painty people, which are very much vicarious enjoyment but due to the nature of what they do, post infrequently:

> North of the Border
https://www.youtube.com/c/NorthoftheBorder
Solid sculpts and painting, enhanced with LED effects where needed only.

> Bill Making Stuff
https://www.youtube.com/@BillMakingStuff

Themed scratch builds, i.e. glue all manner of plastic and household things together and paint it. Highly recommended.

> Art Chong Art
https://www.youtube.com/@ArtChongArt

Sculptor with a high focus on anatomy, very educational.

> Bobby Fingers
https://www.youtube.com/@bobbyfinger

An artist building anything from a small diorama to a peculiar fibre glass rowing boat.
