This is a bit outside of technical stuff, but if you like political/social commentary, I think ContraPoints has really entertaining and also fairly well-researched video essays. She is definitely part of the left, but I think people of most political persuasions can find her engaging and funny, even if they don’t agree 100%.

- susodapop 5y agoHer video about Envy stands out as one of the best I’ve seen on YouTube. Up there with Sagan or Harari in how it’s affected my worldview. While her videos are enjoyable to watch, they are also quite listenable during a long trip or while cooking.
- alin23 5y agoThanks a lot! I’m definitely not looking for technical stuff only. It’s just that, YouTube’s recommendation algorithm skews me in that direction. I like watching videos about interesting bits of history, debating/solutions for various civil/political problems, seeing someone being extremely good at their craft (whether that’s woodworking, electronics, painting, building houses using old techniques, etc.). I also like investigative videos without blockbuster content and a ton of dramatic music, but those are really hard to find.
