Historia Civilis is pure gold for history enjoyers.

One of the best (history) creators on the platform in my opinion! His recent video on the history of work was also quite interesting.

  I don't think his recent work video was good at all, namely that he falls into the same trap of idolizing days of yore while thinking about the current day realistically, a form of recency bias known as rosy retrospection. In short, serfs' (and other pre-Industrial peoples') "free time" was not free at all, it was spent doing other sorts of manual labor that wasn't their primary work but nevertheless needed to be done, similar to the chores we have today but much more strenuous. I'll add these comments on reddit that serve as much more of a realistic view of work back then [0] [1] [2].

  Any other history channels you enjoy? I finished every historia civilis video and need a new history channel to watch.

    History of everything. But this is more of a fast talking podcast

    I haven't found any channels quite like his one. That being said I do find toldinstone to be quite good regarding ancient history. Outside Youtube, https://acoup.blog/ https://acoup.blog/ is a great history blog.
