I really enjoy Alec's videos and quirky humour. Beware though, this kind of channel is a massive, addicting time sink. Other similar channels that HN might appreciate (the first two are quite well-known, the last one I found recently and is definitely bingeworthy): - Smarter Every Day https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC6107grRI4m0o2-emgoDnAA https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC6107grRI4m0o2-emgoDnAA - Tom Scott https://www.youtube.com/user/enyay https://www.youtube.com/user/enyay - Practical Engineering https://www.youtube.com/user/gradyhillhouse https://www.youtube.com/user/gradyhillhouse

Stuff like this is why I have difficulty giving up YouTube. I've given up basically every other algorithmic feed (except for HN, I suppose) but the amount of passionate and engaging education and curiosity content on YT will have me hooked for a while I suppose...

  YES! I'm also really struggling with giving up YouTube due to all the wonderful content available there. I wish there was a widely-used alternative like Floatplane to double-post your videos for your supporters.

I've found that watching Alec's videos at 1.25X speed made them more enjoyable and listenable.
