I don’t see any because I only watch channels I trust.

How do you find those channels? Up until recently the YT recommender algorithms did a quite good job at that for me. Now they serve up crap.

  I have a pre-existing list based on my interests. Sometimes those creators will mention other channels or I will hear about a channel from someone else and I’ll check them out.

  My bar for new channels is that they must have a person presenting the content, who appears on camera for enough time to convince myself they're not fake.

    Unfortunately, that rules out the likes of Minute Physics, ScienceClic English, and the famous for being camera-averse Lockpicking Lawyer. (-:

      LPL appears on camera. Just not his face.

        The question is whether a disembodied pair of hands, that could be those of a body double, is enough to satisfy stronglikedan. The good news is that Big Clive, 3Blue1Brown, and even Jago Hazzard have all appeared on camera, albeit not always on their own channels. (-:

Same. I don't stray from my core Youtube. I don't even subscribe to channels, but my algorithm is still only offering me videos from creators that I've been watching for years and trust. When one of them jumps the shark, looking at you Veritasium and Mark Rober, I just stop clicking their videos and eventually they stop showing up in my list.

  Curious which video caused you to dump vertasium? Other than click-bait titles and thumbnails, the production and information presented seems first class.

    When he stopped presenting them live, and switched to animation with voice over. The change was likely made to be able to pump them out faster, and there was a definite drop in quality that came along with the change.

      The animations seem appropriate for teaching the content and actually seem like more effort than just talking into a camera. But I agree there has been a drop in quality with the growth of his team.
      - Jeremy1026 1y ago
        The animations replaced practical demonstrations. They did allow the channel to explore more topics, things that couldn't be done practically, but I think overall it was a net-loss.

      That’s likely due to the fact that Veritasium has PE investment now. https://www.electrify.video/post/electrify-completes-majority-investment-in-veritasium https://www.electrify.video/post/electrify-completes-majorit... https://youtu.be/hJ-rRXWhElI?si=UVbFVwH9h9HQw3L2 https://youtu.be/hJ-rRXWhElI?si=UVbFVwH9h9HQw3L2
