What's your go-to long form Youtuber?
Title essentially. Youtube's algorithm is hot garbage, so I can't search for anything anymore without a ton of AI slop and rage bait. So, who do you go to for actual good long form videos? Exposes, scandals, behind the scenes, documentaries, film, travel, transit, who do you recommend I follow?

I only really subscribe to two channels that focus on 20-30 minute videos and post on a pretty regular basis:
Technology Connections
Internet Comment Etiquette with Erik
Seconding Technology Connections. Great long form content
The longest videos I watch on YouTube, and I enjoy every minute of them.
Especially the dishwashers.
Seconding Internet Comment Etiquette. Information as art.
Do your research sheeple 8========D aaaand post!
8=========D That's a rocket ship!
Pineapple Erik needs a comeback!
I love Technology Connections, but i do have watch at 1.75X or else it’s too long form for me.
There are two YouTubers who make videos 4+ hours long that you have to watch every minute of:
Jenny Nicholson
HBomberGuy
Sure but HBG is the only one who can make a viral 4 hour video.
Jenny's last 4 hour video went more than viral, to be fair.
I love Jenny, so HBomberGuy would probably be good too
These two were my first thought! I'll add that both cover a range of topics, Jenny does do a lot of videos around Star Wars, but also covers obscure films, and theme parks, wherenl HBomber runs the gamut from flat earth to vaccines to video games to plagiarism. Both are incredibly well researched and, in my opinion, offer very fair takes on the subject matter.
My same two!
Technology Connections
It might be worth adding that some people might find him (and similar long form content) verbose if they are not into the topics. I watch probably most of his episodes, but some people in my life don’t vibe with those. The same people did not appreciate the 7 color e-ink display I had been tinkering around with until I made it display a dog pic, so it’s also about how the topic relates to what you already like.
Did you see his latest video about algorithms? Best video so far this year imo
Yes, I figured that might have been part the trigger for the thread.

above and beyond, thank you!
I guess I should have expected it, but I was hoping they were videos on how to do crime... ☹️
Lol. The Lockpicking Lawyer springs to mind 😁
recently, the guy who hooks up different toys to high voltage, causing thier hilarious "methy movements and spazzing out"
We have similar taste in youtubers! If you enjoy those disaster related videos, I recommend Abstract (formerly Real Horror). Great production value and storytelling. She does all her own work as far as I know, so she doesn't have a huge playlist to watch sadly. But the narration and setup really add a gravitas to the disasters that I feel the other youtubers are missing.
https://m.youtube.com/@Abstract
Has 9 videos and 0.5M subs, I feel they might be worth looking at!
If you’re into true crime, I highly recommend https://youtube.com/@thatchapter
Mike is a good storyteller and makes videos that aren’t just stock footage and images spliced together.
awesome comment! saved for later
Angela Collier for commentary on physics. She has a lot of good commentary on the field itself (see her recent Feynman video), but also good science videos... that I usually lose track of about 3/4 of the way through, but I enjoy nonetheless.
I second Angela, informative, chill and kinda funny
My favorite video title of all time is still "alkaline water ...with lemon"
Really loved her video on new Star Trek too, she has very similar vibes to Jenny Nicholson but has a lot of great science material too
She did Feynman dirty.
Along with Technology Connections, Philosophy Tube, and Primitive Technology, here are my "must watch" subs
Climate Town - Excellent videos about climate change and environmental impact that are insightful and funny
Contrapoints - Well written and meticulous deconstructions of philosophical concepts in media, pop culture and society with a dry wit
Every Frame a Painting - Amazing content on film-making. No longer active, but if you haven't seen it yet, lucky you, enjoy.
Pop Culture Detective - Interesting meta analyses of popular tropes in pop culture
Because I'm into historical clothing and fashion, Bernadette Banner and Abby Cox both do great videos on costuming, history and creating cool stuff
Love climate town. I hate that someone needs to waste their time disproving lies from the oil, gas, politicians and the like, but it does give me hope in the future that there are people like that out there.
Every Frame a Painting came back to life one year ago! He uploaded some new videos :)
Yes! It was such a pleasant surprise on my feed. Unfortunately they said they won't be continuing because of Youtube's enforcement policies around copyrighted material so those videos were meant to be a limited series.
Technology Connections
The video on pinball machines was absolutely incredible
So ... Do you have any recommendations for more like technology connections? I've watched through every video+even the ones in the backlog). A year or so ago I stumbled on cathode ray dude (similar nerd vibes) and I've also seen everything from him so if anyone has a recommendation on similar channels please let me know.
TechMoan might be up your alley
He's definitely similar and I've seen a couple of vids of his. But he didn't quite "catch" me the same way.
So it's not exactly the same but in my head they're heavily related. NightHawkInLight. He's this rural tinkerer/chemist dude that takes real science papers and patent info, then tries to reproduce and refine them with easier and more available means. He's done really cool stuff with fire resistant paint, radiative cooling, and phase change materials. Plus, he has a similar " Midwestern" delivery style that's low key and easy to listen to. Everytime he releases a video I'm excited to see what he's been up to
Folding Ideas is fantastic
I actively avoid shorts so most of what I watch is long form.
Behind the Bastards is fucking great! If you like their stuff, you might also enjoy "Respect The Dead (A Podcast Where We Don't)." It's a kind of queer younger sibling to BTB and a whole lot of fun, but they only cover people who are for sure dead.
You're right. AvE went completely off the deep end during the height of Covid, and revealed that his being a scumbag isn't just doing a bit for the camera.
Do you have a link to his undoing?
His knowledge of everything mechanical and electronic is pretty useful though. I’ve learned a TON from him but now I prefer Cutting Edge Engineering to scratch that kind of itch.
You can start with his video praising the "freedom convoy" shitshow plus ranting about the usual talking points re: vaccines, masks, etc. which kind of did it for me.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IeYVyhhHY-Y
Honestly, I'm amazed he hasn't deleted it from his channel by now.
Was really disappointed when that one came out.. His stuff was great up to that point but now it feels... It's got an ick now.
Good list, many hits with my list. Let me recommend "Tally Ho" and "Escape to Rural France" to you, although the latter might be too short for "long format" with 10 minutes per episode, give or take.
Great list! I would just add The Majority Report if you're looking to learn more about politics while also trying to understand what is happening today. They do a ~2.5-hour live show every weekday which includes a quick overview of the latest headlines for today, an interview of someone with knowledge about some politics-related topic, and then an hour of mostly right wing videos that they discuss, argue with, and vent about.
I love it for how informative it is and for keeping me sane.
Red letter media
I love Star Trek, but don't want to watch the modern Alex kurtzman garbage, so they take the bullet for me.
I'm also not a movie guy, so watching their reviews/analysis while playing Minecraft is more entertaining than the movies they talk about.
Best of the worst is them watching B and direct to video movies that i wouldn't otherwise know about.
![email protected]
Watch strange new worlds, Mike is rightfully dead inside after disco, but I genuinely like a majority of Strange New worlds, and generally align with Mike and Rich on most other Star Trek. I do think they praised season 3 of picard too much.
kurtzman is so trash for NUTREK, and there are so many people actually defending the current franchises on youtube videos, did they not noticed the material was most lifted off of memory alpha and the fan novels? why it so bad in taste. the animated series, however im partial to.
as for SNW ITS BETWEEN disco in terribleness(its a sold C- show), but not as bad but no where near "2000s enterprise series level of great series". the enterprise series wouldve continued beyond 4 seasons, if not for LES MOONVEs, who hated star trek.
both picard and disco were just plain cringey. almost always on the 3 series, use romulan at end of season 1 as clickbait and then completely dropping thier arcs.
Well ... My go-to is still Hbomberguy. Eben if I don't know/care about the topic I know every vid of bis will be interesting and worth the time investment. The jokes are really funny (even on rewatches) and I've learned a lot. I watch old Hbomb videos to Fall asleep to almost every night.
Main issue: there's one video every 1-2 years ... However if you've never seen one you'll have the back log to get through.
I especially love his dismantling of Paul Joseph Watson's video about soy boys.
Haven’t seen Philosophy Tube on here yet.
High quality and engaging deep dives on various philosophy-related topics. Abigail, the face of the channel is an actor and playwright (and an academic) and that very much shines through.
Seconded. Love their stuff. Also Contrapoints (who Philosophy Tube kinda ripped off, but hey ho, both great content.)
FD Signifier is good too.
Contra and Philosophytube are an excellent example of how two people with a lot of similarities can do the same concept and wind up with wildly different results even when both are excellently done.
I love Technology Connections for an easy, interesting watch. He just explains how appliances work lol
Have you seen his latest? It's all about algorithms and a societal shift in what people expect from computers and media.
It's a video I loved, and I understand why some of his fans wouldn't but a lot of people need to see it.
I haven’t had a chance yet! Seems like a bit of a departure from his usual stuff but very topical
Yes, I also love it! But sometimes he's a bit repetitive. I usually watch his videos at 1.2x speed
Peter Dibble has some great documentaries on historical curiosities around the Pacific Northwest, and beyond.
Technology Connections does deep dives into topics of technology, specific devices and appliances, and generally is very entertaining and informative.
RedLetterMedia for film critiques, so bad it’s good reviews, and comedy.
Defunctland does documentaries around theme parks.
Tasting History with Max Miller is a very educational historical food dishes show. Not super long form.
Matt Baume does great “LGBTQ+ in TV, historically” type of content. And wrote a book about it which is great too.
Stand-up Maths does great math content. Yeah, it’s math, but it’s fun. Bonus is he also wrote a great book relating to his content about engineering and maths mistakes in real life on large scales.
LGR- retro computer tech
Techmoan- retro audio tech
For Drfunctland, who doesn't want to watch an over hour long video on the design of FastPass?
Ah yes, the time a youtuber hired industrial engineers to create simulations of a theme park
For educative scientific YT channels I'd recommend Veritasium, The Action Lab and NileRed to name a few. They produce top quality scientific videos about really interesting phenomenas and experiments. And the best part is they make the concepts simple to understand without the need of a degree or smth lol
Adding to this, Smarter Every Day is really great -- they just started a series on Nuclear Power with a walkthrough of the first Nuclear Reactor used to produce electricity.
Depends how long is long form for you, if you mean like multi hour videos I have less to give. But for like 25 to 40 minutes videos:
Practical engineering - educational videos about civil engineering.
Dr. Becky - space/astronomy news from an astrophysicist.
Plainly difficult - civil disaster documentaries
Joseph Anderson - gaming essays (multi hour)
Raycevick - gaming essays (around 30min)
The sphere hunter - game essays, mainly classic horror
Jay Foreman - British comedy.
LGR - retro tech deep dives, and tech oddware.
Joe Scott - Did you know, style investigations.
Plus some already mentioned. There is probably more, but keeping this shorter.
Jay Foreman - definitely British, definitely funny, but its much more than that. Their series Unfinished London talks about infrastructure over the last hundred years and how it's affected the layout of the city. Really interesting and pretty funny.
For long form,
Bobby Broccoli, ~1hr videos on science scandals https://youtube.com/@bobbybroccoli
Defunctland, 30m to 1h45m videos on defunct theme parks and rides https://youtube.com/@defunctland
Your dinosaurs are wrong, 15m to 1h45m videos on comparing toy dinosaurs to the most up to date research https://youtube.com/@yourdinosaursarewrong
2nd on Drachinifel, 7m to 1h45m videos on naval History https://youtube.com/@drachinifel
Perun, 1h videos on defense economics https://youtube.com/@perunau
Diplo Strats, 2h to 6h videos on diplomacy the board game, like risk on massive steroids https://youtube.com/@diplostrats
A Catholic socialist, a Jewish anarchist, and a Muslim communist walk into a bar, and they make a podcast about engineering disasters: Well There's Your Problem. It's great for that intersection of people for whom the phrase "crimes against TERFs aren't crimes" resonates and like listening to an engineer complain about low quality as-builts 2 hours into a 3 hour episode about 9/11
I was sold on the show when I found out that the episode about the Titanic was split into two parts, totaling around 5 and 1/2 hours. That's partially because they spend a lot of time bullshitting, and partially because they go really in-depth about how and why structures fail
Their episode about Y2K hooked me.
OK that sounds exactly made for me
WTYP Pod, the podcast that hates you back!
WTYP Pod, the podcast that hates you back!
Steve Wallis - Calm Canadian dude that does stealth camping, he'll just camp behind a McDonald's billboard and is very chill about it
Steve is awesome. Another favorite of mine is Kent Survival. I've tried more than one of Andy's camp meals, and he's the reason I bring a cast iron dutch oven with me now.
I fuck with Steve . Solid dude living the dream I always had as a kid on a road trip: " I could build a fort and camp in the middle of that traffic circle and nobody would ever know I was there"
On the same note I really like GIFGAS. Bit of the same, just with train hopping across Europe. YouTube is apparently removing some of his videos though, but all should be on his Patreon.
Folding Ideas is a favorite of mine.
Contrapoints is one of the youtube GOATs for a reason. High production values, thought provoking content, and a level of thought and honesty that's powerful. Her video that's absolutely definitely about twilight and nothing else caused days of discussion with my wife.
Folding Ideas is a documentarian with a film background. He's most famous for his videos about NFTs and meme stocks, but all his videos are excellent. "I don't know James Rolfe" was a youtube filmmaker descending into madness attempting to understand another one.
Philosophy Tube is a woman who got pissed that the UK was raising tuitions so she committed to giving away the knowledge she got in her philosophy degree. Sometimes she plays with clickbait, but in a very self aware way. Her content is definitely meant to make you think
Hbomberguy is a man who made a 4 hour video about youtube plagiarism so popular the Onion referenced it. He's largely a video game critic but does some deep dives into political topics like climate denial, flat earth, and antivax
Sarah Z is a older gen z media and fandom critic who largely leans towards Tumblr oriented topics. She consistently has good takes. I really liked her video on how the internet talks about narcissists that I watched over the weekend.
Strange Aeons is probably my suggestion people are least likely to like. She's like if Sarah Z was a lot weirder. You want someone to explain the omegaverse or Snapewives or the other bizarre outlets of fandom in a wat that's generally respectful to them? She's got you. In particular I like how she's respectful towards weirdness when it's not harmful and that she treats trolls as the performance artists they can be.
Practical engineering is youtube for the sort of people who think bridges can be interesting. He's a civil engineer with a fair bit of charisma talking about civil engineering.
Stuff made here is for when you want impractical engineering. He's a dork who designs and builds weird shit for its own sake.
Defunctland, listen I'm not really into amusement parks that much, but this guy makes them fascinating to hear about.
Additional creators I forgot or left out:
Lady Emily is Sarah Z's cowriter's channel. It's definitely weirder but in a direction completely different from the way strange aeons is. She doesn't care to make her content have mainstream appeal and so it winds up being an autistic woman making videos about stuff she finds interesting.
Innuendo Studios is someone I intentionally left out for two reasons: a lot of his videos are short and they're very political. But they aren't low effort ragebait political, they're analyses of modern right wing rhetorical tactics. I'm including him now purely because he's one of my favorite youtubers
Münecat is a long form video essayist who started with anti-mlm content and has moved into other topics like internet gambling and debunking evo psych.
I'll add more comments if I think of more
Coffeezilla for crypto exposes
What I like may not be what you like at all. I mean, depends on your interests.
And I don't "follow" any of these, watch every thing when it comes out. These are just some YouTubers for whom I've had a high proportion of their material wind up being something that I feel is worth watching.
Montemayor
Does military history, mostly naval. Does not put out a lot of videos, but from the ones that I do follow, has really done his research through the written material out there before putting the material out, does a good job of highlighting what's important.
To a lesser degree, Drachinifel and The Operations Room. They're also military history, but I don't feel like they do as much research or highlight the important bits as well. Drachinifel focuses more on surface gun-era naval warfare, and The Operations Room tends to deal with newer stuff.
The Slow Mo Guys. Not exactly deep stuff, but they do one thing: high-quality interesting slow-motion footage. Pretty popular, so you may have heard of them before. I think it might be interesting to have some sort of analogous channel that does videos of microscope stuff, pans around something with a nice microscope.
SmarterEveryDay does, I think, a good job of explaining interesting things in our daily world from an engineering/technical standpoint; guy does a good job of researching his material. You'll probably walk away from this knowing this that you didn't.
CGPGrey does stick-figure illustrated things that also highlight interesting stuff, often relating to legal or political or historical stuff.
Perun does defense economics, and has had interesting and informed material on the Russo-Ukrainian War. Michael Kofman, an analyst who focuses on the Russian military, doesn't have a YouTube channel, but many YouTube channels do interview him, and while he's kind of dry, I also think that his material on Ukraine is pretty worthwhile -- he's consistently avoided alarmist stuff or cheerleading over the course of the war. Can find material with him via searching for his name.
One of the problems I have with YouTube is a side effect of the fact that it pays content creators. I don't have any real problem with that per se -- I mean, sure, you wanna do work and get paid, that's fine. The problem is that there's no real "YouTube of articles". The result is that a lot of content creators out there are putting stuff in video form that really doesn't need to be in video form, just because they want some reasonable way to monetize it. The above videos are from people who generally take advantage of the video format (well, Michael Kofman could really do just fine on a podcast and often does, but aside from that). I've seen too many YouTube videos -- including those being submitted on the Threadiverse -- that would really be better as text and possibly image articles.
EDIT: Oh, right. Someone else mentioned Primitive Technology, which I would definitely second. Has a guy go out in the woods with just his shorts and basically manufacture a lot of basic technology from the ground up. Does have subtitles, but no narration or speech. The practical use of what he does is probably limited, but I found it fascinating. I remember that this was very popular for a while on Reddit.
Ahoy @xboxahoy. Very well produced videos about gaming. A brief history of graphics, iconic arms, video game origins and more.
I love the style of Ahoy's videos so much
Brick immortar- probably the single most technical long form YT channel in the engineering disasters category
NNKH - fixing things that probably shouldn't be bothered with.
Green dot aviation - air disasters and near disasters
Pilot debrief - light aviation crash analysis
Andrew camarata - long, long form time lapse videos of running backhoes and dozers to cut roads and things, nice to relax to.
The great war - I watch on nebula but I think they are on YT too.
Hoog - explainers
Bald and bankrupt - I've heard mixed things about the guy as a person but his videos are entertaining, in the "travel to unusual places" genre
Integza - another one on nebula but I think also on YT. Building rocket engines with 3d printers, etc
Driving 4 answers - probably the single best automotive focused engineering channel
Mentour Pilot is my favorite in the aviation / disaster documentary world
Looooooove Brick Immortar. Check out Maritime Horrors if you haven't already.
Buckin Billy Ray - interesting videos about cutting trees down and servicing chainsaws. A little bit unchained (excuse the pun) in a wholesome way as he seems to randomly intersperse his videos with positive affirmations like 'be kind' 'love your friends' which is kind of wholesome
Way out west - an older English guy living in the West of Ireland making things like a railway for transporting garlic
I did a thing - a hilariously unhinged aussie bloke
James Hoffman - for coffee. And hames joffman also
Karl Rock - travels around India/Pakistan exploring the places
Mike okay - travels to really off the beaten track places like Iraq.
Maximus ironthumper - many videos, the project kermit series is him rebuilding a land rover defender from scratch
Still it - distilling and making spirits
You might be interested in Stillworks and Brewing, he's kinda amateur but a lot less click-baity than Still It.
Nice, thanks for the suggestion! Distilling is illegal where I live and goodness knows I don't need yet another hobby right now but I love learning about it!
I saw a lot of tech and science channel in the comments so to balance that out, here are some of my favourite crafting channels:
North of the border: creates a clay sculpture every week. Generally it is something nerdy or something cursed
Enchanterium: repaint dolls, often to popular characters. They also sew their own outfits. A lot of fun even if you're not interested in dolls
Nerdforge: create a lot of crazy projects, mostly related to nerdy stuff. (Last project was a 2m booknook)
Wicked makers: create decorations and animatronics for Halloween
Florian Gadsby: very talented potter with very relaxing voice and videos
Pottery to the people: pottery videos, often trying new experiments
Evan and Katelyn: videos on stuff that they build. Always a lot of fun (last video: how they built an ergonomic laptop)
TL Yarn Crafts: crochet videos
Kaypea Creations: making of art dolls (animals), either out of clay or fake fur.
Studson Studios: creates amazing sculptures out of mostly trash. Amazing channel, one of my favourites
Make strange things: makes strange things. Small channel but greatly appreciated
Boylei hobby time: creates dioramas
Lightning cosplay: creats amazing cosplays
Transcended furniture gallery: restores vintage furniture
Bonus: Half-Asleep Chris: videos with stop motion elements, mostly about cats and/or lego
Subbed to Enchanterium 👍 thanks for the rec!
No wonder I feel like such an outsider here. I've been on youtube for almost two decades and there's not a single channel I follow mentioned here in this thread.
EDIT: Well there was one match: Primitive Technology
Na, you just found other good stuff, YouTube is actually really massive. Add some of yours here as well!
Andrew Camarata (heavy machinery), Advoko Makes (bushcraft), Blacktail Studios (woodworking), Foreyes Furniture (woodworking), Foresty Forest (van life & hiking), Alec Steele (blacksmithing), Animagraphs (3D models of how stuff works), Berm Peak (mountain biking), Chris Fix (mechanics), Cleetus McFarland (cars, flying), Colin Furze (making), DIY Perks (making), Garand Thumb (guns), good Times Bad Times (geopolitics), Grind Hard Plumbing Co. (custom vehicle builds), Jon Gadget (EDC gadgets), Lincoln St. Woodworks (woodworking), Matthias Wandell (woodworking) Project Farm (product reviews & testing), Max Maker (making), Müjin (home improvement), Night Shift (scale models), Northmen (woodworking, building, blacksmithing), Outdoors55 (knife sharpening), Peter Santenello (travel / people), Practical Engineering (civil engineering explained), This Old Tony (machining)
Because I manually download videos to watch on the bus or train (thanks Grayjay & NewPipe), most of my subscriptions are for long-form, often listenable content:
Retro Tech: Techmoan, Technology Connections, Posy, Janus Cycle, CRD, Ben Eater, DiodeGoneWild, pannenkoek2012, videolabguy, Adrian's Digital Basement,The Science Elf, previously LGR and 8-Bit Guy/Keys
Science: Kuvina Saydaki, BobbyBroccoli, Numberphile, Computerphile, carykh
Tech News & Discussion (not always long-form): Louis Rossmann, Mental Outlaw, Brodie Robertson, SomeOrdinaryGamers, Asianometry, Atomic Shrimp, previously Thunderf00t
Urbanism: Not Just Bikes, Adam Something, Alan Fisher, Tramly, BritMonkey
D&D Story Narration: CritCrab, Puffin Forest
Bold channels are most underrated imo
Check out nebula. Lots of overlap and downloads well.
So I can subscribe for 1 month, download all the exclusive content, and then turn my membership off/back on based on the value I think I'm getting?
media.ccc.de is a great specialized "streaming service" too, mostly supported by NewPipe (oddly not Grayjay yet). I can understand German decently so I don't have issues with the bilingual content. If you like Chaos Congress talks, you can also try DEFCON and other ones available on YouTube but I didn't feel like including any of them because they're just uploads of slightly different kinds of media, much like HBO's Last Week Tonight channel I also subscribe to.
My #1 go to is probably Cathode Ray Dude. He makes videos mostly on old tech which is what I'm very interested in.
If you're more looking for exposing scandals there's always Coffeezilla/Voidzill.
I made this spreadsheet a while back for easy sharing. Some have been mentioned like F.D Signifier and HBomberGuy. Also like Mr. Beat for history, Nth Review for games, Astrum for space, and Maritime Horrors for... maritime horrors.
Maritime Horrors is great, but for the same vibes as him I also watch Brick Immortar and Big Old Boats from time to time.
And if you're into mode sky boats then Green Dot Aviation is your guy
One I haven't seen mentioned yet that I think needs more exposure is miniminuteman: https://m.youtube.com/@miniminuteman773/
He does a mix of long form archeology videos and short form pseudo-archeology debunking. Some of it should be dry content but his delivery bridges the gap every time. He has a side channel where he posts about his side projects like his solo motorcycle trips that's also interesting.
Epimetheus. High quality history videos on past and current civilizations. His hand drawn art is amazing too, he tries to stay very historically accurate. No theatrical narration, just a broad view of history. My favorite channel by far.
Dr Becky. Very very good science communication on astronomy and cosmology. She always sources the papers she mentions and excels at making you understand basic astrophysics. Best explanations of a very hard topic.
Angela Collier, another science communication more focused on physics and the epistemology of the field. I love her personal perspective on all the drama in physics (e.g. why Feinman is overhyped, why it’s still such a terribly sexist field etc.) though she makes it clear that it’s her channel and her opinions. Much more detailed explanations of physics but a little harder to understand.
City Nerd data driven showcase on why cars are bad for cities, usually in a top 10 of cities ranked by some metric of transportation.
in addition to a lot of others already mentioned (there's a lot of overlap)
History:
culture/politics:
writing/education:
media/ect:
Tale Foundry (technically about writing fiction, but they also discuss media in general along with its themes, character archetypes, ect. it's more interesting than it sounds)
Pop Culture Detective
Jacob Geller (mostly video games)
My Little Thought Tree (also psychology)
Broey Deschanel
I was trying to see if someone else was going to mention F. D.
Shame for yours to be at the bottom; this is a good list of choices, in general. Excellent taste.
Had to scroll entirely too far to find FD.
Props to Broey their videos are so good
These are channels I follow or at least like enough to look up once in a while. They're a bit random. I apologize if any are repeats, but they're worth repeating (and I didn't read every reply):
Adam Savage's tested: https://youtube.com/@tested
bigclivedotcom: https://youtube.com/@bigclivedotcom
Intelligence Squared: https://youtube.com/@intelligence-squared
MIT Open CourseWare: https://youtube.com/@mitocw
Townsends: https://youtube.com/@townsends
Entertainment:
Cirque du Soleil: https://youtube.com/@cirquedusoleil
Very other:
SBSK: https://youtube.com/@specialbooksbyspecialkids
the channel features a man who goes around and interacts with/interviews disabled children and adults. I take this one in small doses. It is not long form in the traditional sense of a well researched and thoroughly laid out topic, but I find it very wholesome/heartbreaking at the same time.
Jenny Nickelson does.. nerd stuff? Highlights include:
"Church cinimatic universe" where she becomes a sommelier of art and walks you through a decade or so of some church in Canada's Easter plays, which are delightfully technical and imaginative while also being a beautiful form of cringe.
And a 4+ hour documentary/review/commentary on her visit to the short lived "star wars hotel"
I'm not big into star wars or Disneyworld/land wherever it was, but I watched that whole thing.
I love Jenny, she has some of the best long forms!
A couple fun ones I haven't seen mentioned:
Myron Cook - Think "the Bob Ross of Geology." Basically he goes out, finds some rock formation, goes "Huh. Isn't this cool? What do you think happened?" and walks you through everything dating back to like the formation of the planet. He's like a teddy bear and his channel is wonderful and fascinating.
Dan Hurd - He's a dorky gold prospector. He may have caused me to buy a gold panning set.
I really like my weekly hour long defense/economics powerpoint from Perun.
I have a few to recommend:
SEA and Astrum. Almost interchangeable calm and chill space documentary channels. If you're like me and get a spinny mind around bedtime, these are great, they hold my attention to keep my mind from racing and are calm enough to drift to sleep while listening.
Bedtime Stories. Anything from urban legends to strange disappearances told in a campfire ghost story format accompanied by hand drawn illustrations. Sometimes wanders into hibbidy jibbidy but fun nonetheless. See also Wartime Stories for a similar format focusing on stories from/about the military.
History For Granite. I read this guy as an armchair archaeologist who is interested primarily in the pyramids and megalithic structures of ancient Egypt almost as much as he is at sniping at Zahi Hawass. Possibly a bit of a crank, though his wild ideas tend to be things like "The pyramid was designed to remain open for worshippers to routinely enter" and he often focuses on the engineering of the structures and layout of the stones.
Nexpo. Short for Nightmare Expo, purveyor of creepy stories.
Captain KRB. Video essayist, fond of minecraft, retro media, and occasional odd stories like the Voynich manuscript or the Cicada 3301 mystery.
Lemmino, started out as a top ten list channel, has pivoted to long form documentaries on a "when it's done" basis. Topics range from the history of the "Cool S" graffiti symbol to the Lost Colony of Roanoke.
Ahoy. Churns out one, maybe two videos a year on the topic of video games, primarily video game weapons. Typical format will introduce a weapon, say, the M-16 combat rifle, discuss its real world invention and service history, then its depiction in video games and possibly other media. Peppered in are other more general video game topics; his video on Polybius is particularly good.
This Old Tony. A dude named Tony whose got a hobby machine shop full of dad jokes in his garage.
Clickspring. Australian dude who makes soul-achingly beautiful videos about clockmaking and machining. Go watch him build a clock out of raw brass and tell me your life hasn't changed.
Tech Tangents. One of those guys who will hold an 8-bit ISA card in his hands with a look of utter rapture on his face, he repairs, restores and documents old computer and gaming equipment, and operates a capacitor wiki. He once reverse engineered an ISA adapter card to get a very early CD-ROM drive functioning...live on Twitch.
Can confirm. The one thing that bugs me about Astrum is the clickbaity titles (along the lines of "The Image That Shocked NASA Scientists!", that sort of thing), but don't let that turn you off and away, the content is solid and the tone is much more grounded than those stupid faux-populist titles, which I'm sure the author chooses to gain traction with YouTube's skewed algorithmic tyranny.
Another channel I'd love to add here is ParallaxNick, who does astronomy and science history videos, this man is a poet and a scholar, deserves a million subscribers and more.
How long-form?
I absolutely love “More Kitboga”, videos where a fella calls scammers and uses a Roland VT3-3 voice transformer to improv. Video lengths range from a few hours to… I believe his record fucking with the same call center (like two or three specific people) is 54 hours. I put it on when I’m working from home. He is HILARIOUS. He and his team have whole fake websites, fake banks, and a fake Google Play store where he can redeem fake Google play cards into his account and it works as the actual play store would. People go insane when they see they “lost” thousands of dollars because an “old lady” redeemed the codes they wanted.
True crime: Explore With Us is a channel my partner recently found. Lots of FOIA’d videos and pictures that have never been seen before they made their videos. Very interesting.
If you're interested or curious about music theory (even if you don't know much about it), I recommend Charles Cornell. Here's one of him talking about Pure Imagination.
Wow, this is great!!
I also like 12tone but those are probably more like medium -form videos
Drain Addict.
He's a weird plumber. From Australia. He unclogs drains. When he walks, he moves his arms like a player character in an FPS. He has a toy rat and crocodile that help him. Sometimes it's hard to tell what's a sound effect and what's a real sound.
It seems like it shouldn't work but somehow it does.
Nerd³ (nerd cubed) long form video game content while he talks about the game he's playing, sprinkled with commentary about life and current events
Cold Fusion. Sort of a mini documentary on news items, one item at a time. Tech focused.
I like Dime Store Adventures for history trivia and exploration, mostly USA focused.
Abstract - break down of disasters and crimes with excellent narration and very interesting topics
Rare Earth - highlights uncommon locations (speaking as a Westerner) and the often horrific histories that framed their civilization/cities/people
Micerah Tewers - super talented maker that sews copies of red carpet looks and other fun custumes with some home decor. Not instructional at all, just fast paced and entertainingly wholesome
Ask a Mortician - really fascinating deep dives into what happened to the bodies of famous people, or people who died in extreme circumstances. She has recently highlighted a few infamous shipwrecks...which brings me to
Oceanliner designs and Part Time Explorer - both nautical history buffs that articulate the grandeur and sometimes horror of ship travel
Miniminuteman - archeology videos featuring a lot of lesser known sites that are fascinating. Articulate dismantling of psuedo-archeology bullshit and refreshingly modern understanding of science communication
LadyKnightthebrave - discussing the emotions that film and tv can make you feel. Honestly just cathartic if she talks about a movie you feel strongly about, like the articulate friend you wish you had to decompress with after an emotional movie
Contrapoints - incredible everything from set design to arguments. Long form, in depth explanations about a lot of topics some people would consider taboo, or that people are close minded about.
Atun Shei Films - known primarily for Check Mate Lincolnites which is a comedic sketch that dismantles lost cause myths from the civil war. Lots of interesting historical and film stuff.
Lindybeige - every video feels like an eccentric history professor's impassioned tangent on a subject he deeply cares about, so it entirely derails the original subject of the lecture.
I love me some ContraPoints and Philosophy Tube. Whenever ContraPoints releases a new video, it's like a big movie night for me and my girlfriend.
The wife and I have to set aside a whole night for every contra video. There are 10 minute stretches that cause an hour of discussion.
Haha! Ah, I feel that. We often have to break up her videos into a multiple-days-watch, because of the length and discussions they inspire.
Steve Wallis is my comfort creator. Genuine dude from Canada who does loads of camping from simple in the woods stuff to hiding in a roundabout overnight. He's had a rough go these last few years as he lost his wife, mother, and best friend all within a year and a half. This is a man just enjoying what mother nature has to offer.
Just saw a new video. I think he found a girlfriend. He's a good dude. Happy for him
Adding a few I haven't already seen:
Steve is a legend. Love that guy.
Trying not to put duplicates:
Preface - I enjoy car stuff, so there's more than a few car channels here:
Well There's Your Problem - Engineering disaster podcast, with slides! And the hosts vary from left, to very left.
JunkyardDigs/PoleBarnGarage - Two separate channels. Love them both for just fucking around with old cars/farm equipment/vintage snowmobiles
Check out NNKH. More of a Philadelphia vibe but enjoyable the same
Science and futurism with Isaac Arthur.
Crime pays botany doesn't
the only thing i love more than that guy is that nobody in the comments can agree on what his name is
For videogame essays, my two faves are Jacob Geller and Powerpak
"Stuff made here" is an excellent channel about crazy fun engineering projects, such as a pool cuestick that always pockets the ball and so on.
I'm hooked on Corridor Crew. They review and explain good and bad cgi/vfx in shows and movies.
Not exactly long from, but I agree they're great!
Do yourself a favour and watch Ed Pratt Unicycle around the world. This is one of my favourite things on YouTube, watching him go from just a kid with a weird dream to a great filmmaker and experienced traveler in such an authentic way. Highly recommended
Bobby Fingers
Clay sculpting with humorous narration.
Watch 30 seconds to get the feel. One of the best.
The soviet Union series was great, but anything I watched after that was boring to be honest.
Potholer54, does very good scientific debunking videos
PBS spacetime, physics that you'll understand for 60% yet it keeps being super interesting
Thunderf00t, does good debunking videos. Has a bit of an attitude but so far always is right on piint. already has been bashing musk since a decade ago
Thunderf00t is smart about physics, I liked his science videos, but I really stopped paying attention to him when he started doing gamergate stuff. Is he still whining about feminists, or has he gotten better?
He still hates Anita Sarkeesian and Rebecca Watson.
I left at the same time. As a science minded person the phrase "Feminism ruins everything" is just such a low effort and absolutist statement that even if it were somewhat accurate it would betray a lack of serious consideration. On top of that, it isn't true. He makes all sorts of claims that are just not true and has no understanding of feminism beyond his echo chamber. He knows some stuff about chemistry, has done legit research such as on how the sodium water explosion happens, and yeah, in that area he knows his shit, but like many people he steps past his actual area of expertise without the humility required to learn about a new field without jumping to conclusions.
The world of feminism is deep and full of confronting ideas like how the low availability of emotional expression on boys leads to low emotional regulation in men, but Thunderf00t just goes with the lowest effort "Men are victims" line rather than seeing feminists agree with harms happening to men and want to fix those too.
Perun for military stuff, especially Ukraine.
I don't know why I get suggestions for flat earth and anti-evolution videos but I like watching them because I learn a lot. My guess is that because of my interest in comedy videos I discovered "Patti Reviews Exotic Animals". From there I got" Clint's Reptiles". He is a a theist that accepts and explains evolution. I never doubted it but never took the time to learn what it was all about.
Then I get "Professor Dave Explains". He's fantastic. So many good science videos. So many videos where he puts an end to the dumbest ideas I've never even heard of. Do I need to learn how to argue with a creationist? No, but now I know how.
"Gutsick Gibbon" is awesome. Hers are on the larger side so I haven't seen them all but she's got great science education.
The last one I'll mention is "Lindsay Nikole" because she's my second favorite. If you want to know about the history of life on Earth then she's the best. Why isn't she my first favorite? It's because I don't have a favorite and I want her name to stick in you mind when you go to search youtube for things to watch. You'll notice she has guitars on her wall and I someday I hope to get her on a music project. I write songs about bugs and need her to get on at least one of them in some way. That would be cool as fuck.
If you don’t mind me asking: what do you learn from flat earth and anti-evolution videos?
I watch a few different channels regularly. Here are a few of my favorites
Cecilia Blomdahl lives in the Arctic Circle/northern Norway and has lots of adventures and videos her day to day life in a really interesting way.
Also some Brits who have been renovating abandoned chateaus in France called Escape the Dream and a new one called Mucky Mansion are great escapism
Brain Pilot makes some good videos recapping a few shows i enjoy
I have a few classic youtubers I still watch from back in the day Safiya Nygard and Grace Helbig, for some beauty/crazy fashion/cooking stuff
If you want a sane political/comedy channel, Trae Crowder, the Liberal Redneck is fantastic. In that same vein, Some More News does fantastic deep dives in lots of political and social issues focused mostly on the US
Living big in a tiny house is really interesting seeing cool tiny homes around the world
Takis shelter is a channel from an amazing man who runs a sanctuary for animals in Crete and is a literal saint
I really enjoy Calum's work on obscure vehicles, shipping containers, and stuff like that: https://www.youtube.com/@CalumRaasay
Mustard has other fun vehicles, often with a focus on aircraft: https://www.youtube.com/@MustardChannel
David Hilowitz does fun stuff with musical instruments (finding them, sampling them, stuff like that): https://www.youtube.com/@DavidHilowitzMusic
I love wargaming miniatures and basically the only channel I watch on the subject is Eric's Hobby Workshop: https://www.youtube.com/@EricsHobbyWorkshop
Love David Hilowitz, he's got such a consistent style
Fall of Civilizations
The original podcast episodes have been set to high-quality video of the area being discussed and whatever remains of the civilization are possible to capture on video.
The discussion of what we know about these dead civilizations and what happened to them is really fascinating.
Seconded, best history channel on Youtube that I know of. Only downside is that there are months between episodes, which isn't surprising though given the in-depth analysis presented in each.
"Oki's Weird Stories" is so very good.
Also "Shaun" and very much "Shanspeare" are great, if you're looking for long-form content.
I keep thinking of more, so I'm just going to list them here:
AustinMcConnell, BobbyBroccoli, Dime Store Adventures, Fredrick Knudsen, Jenny Nicholson (already mentioned here many times!), Ahoy, Kid Leaves Stoop, Lady Emily, Sarah Z, Moon Channel, Paper Will, Soup Emporium.
I've recently caught up on About Oliver's second season of Minecraft streams. He's an astrophysicist who never played Minecraft before 2022 and documented his entire blind playthrough. No reading chat, no googling etc. He only knew that he could get to credits somehow, but didn't even know how.
I highly recommend the entire playthrough, but there is a 6 hour Compilation of season 1 if you want to catch up to current day. Season 2 is about 40 episodes in, with about 4-5h per episode.
Most of my favourites have been mentioned already, but I wanna add a really niche one:
OSW Review, old school wrestling video podcast. Some Irish blokes who watch old wrestling shows und discuss them in a mostly humorous, yet still informative manner.
Upvote and another shout out for OSW. They initially went through old school WWF, have now covered older and newer stuff from TNA and AEW, as well as film reviews and some video game deep dives. They do have quite a few running jokes at this point, but not so much that it would alienate new viewers.
For stuff about films, I like 'Thomas Flight' and 'Like Stories Of Old'. LSOO has just released a video about Gladiator II that I'm going to watch in a bit (I'm hoping he hated it as much as I did!)
Hochelaga, Horses, Real Science, ContraPoints, Knowing better
Define long form? Under an hour is about all I can take.
Explore with Us
I like the Why Files, very entertaining even if they have to ruin the fun by "telling the actual story" at the end.
Haven't seen it here yet, but it's one of the greatest and most prolific YouTube channels about science fiction and the future... Science Fiction and Futurism With Isaac Arthur
Just FYI he's got a bit of a speech impediment, but after like 2-3 episodes you don't really hear it and the content is so fantastic. He's a legit physicist and the President of the American National Space Society, so he's very respected outside just creator circles.
I don't watch YouTube to often but I used to like to watch some content from Yes Theory.
My partner watches a few others though, I see her watching Smosh, which sometimes is good, she always watches good mythical stuff, but I am not as much of a fan of them.
I think I avoid YouTube mostly, but if Yes Theory fits your question, I like their underlying message (it started off as a saying Yes to life and taking chances and believing that people were inherently good and try to get communities and the world to come together it seems) and I was actually afraid to say it because I figured someone would come out and tell me how they are actually terrible people somehow. Hopefully not. (Fingers crossed)
This sounds like the premise behind an absolutely delightful 2008 film featuring Jim Carrey and Zooey Deschanel.
Honestly kind of, but more communal. They focus more on say traveling to Yemen, Baghdad, "the most boring city on earth" to throw a get together, or really just getting out there and challenging people to like you said, say Yes. Seek Discomfort is one of their main slogans now. Basically get out of your comfort zone, and have fun.
Say taking a 102 year old to Australia to ensure she made it to all 7 continents to encourage others that no age is to late https://youtu.be/38PwG3zGDDI
Yeah, woah, that's really neat! I've added a bunch of these to my watch list. Thanks for that!
I like watching travel stuff about going to places I might be, frankly, too chicken to go to myself. Seems like he does that a lot. :D
Mostly history documentaries below:
Dead channel but you will like it
I am not normally a fan of long form videos unless I'm in the mood for it, but Philosophy Tube is my go to. Thanks to her, she (he before she transitioned) actually taught me what liberal really means, socially progressive but economically conservative.
Jeff Gerstmann, video game journalist
Lindsay Nikole, paleontology pop sci
Gutsick Gibbon, prehistoric anthropology pop sci and some academic stuff
Spacetime and SEA, cosmology pop sci sometimes leaning more academic
Rifftrax/mst3k, comedians that add audio tracks over bad mostly public domain movies, there's a ton of them
Ben G Thomas, prehistoric biology pop sci
MLiG
Peter Santanello
Dime Store Adventures
Moon
SomeOrdinaryGamers
SamONella
There's probably more, but these are the ones I recall
This Old Tony: home machinist that fixes stuff and makes other stuff in his garage, but does everything very well thought out. Humorous and good editing.
Let me lead with this: I'm taking recommendations for spooky channels.
Okay, first of all, how the fuck has nobody mentioned Crime Pays But Botany Doesn't? [https://youtube.com/@crimepaysbutbotanydoesnt](Crime Pays But Botany Doesn't)
You get to hear the angriest man alive nerd out about plants.
Someone else mentioned Tasting History with Max Miller and I must second that recommendation, it's a really good channel if you appreciate Cooking, History, and especially both.
For spooky stuff, I recommend Midnight Broadcast. They basically take 4chan/reddit creepypasta threads, clean it up a bit for the YouTube algo, feed it to an AI reader, and publish them as 20-30 minute videos. There's also a now dead channel called "Chass" that did the same thing, mixed in a bit of its own lore, and also did a couple of specials like the Epic of MonkeyHumper (11/10 story, possibly the best creepypasta ever published, cannot recommend enough). Though, Chass kept a bit more of the raw 4chan elements than MB does, so be ye warned.
Overanalyzing Avatar does that good 20-min long videos where he just really goes maximum nerd on Avatar The Last Airbender and Korra. It's passionate, funny, and interesting, and if you even kind of like the cartoons, I highly recommend giving him a try.
I'll add some more if I think of them
Both guys go straight to the point with no intros and sponsor blocks.
I know bizarrebub, I have to agree with the recommendation, though some of the clips (especially when they involve little kids) can be real stinkers. Will check out chilling scares! Thanks!
I haven't seen it mentioned but I enjoy channels like Solo Solo Travel - slow-TV style videos about public transportation. What food can you get on a first class flight from Tokyo to Australia? All the videos have zero commentary unless you turn on the subtitles.
I enjoy them a lot because they're very relaxing and make me feel very cozy.
melodysheep - quality animations about universe, earth
thinmatrix - cozy, solo gamedev videos
I love melodysheep. The music is very good.
Depends on my mood, and some creators have come and go from my rotation, some random ones: Krystal Kyle and Friends (left leaning politics podcast) Warfronts (more medium form, but I think it's a good balance) The Right Opinion (long form documentaries, generally around controversial internet figures) Jim Can't Swim (JCS Criminal Psychology) Fredrick Knudsen (down the rabbit hole series) Karl Jobst (speed running documentaries essentially) Radking (Fallout lore stuff) SmoughTown (Elden Ring lore stuff) Ymfah (ridiculous video game challenges with humorous editing)
There's tons more ofc
Hakim, Mental Outlaw, Second Though , Alice Capelle, The Hated One
Big recommendation for Nebula. It's dirt cheap and has all this type of content ad-free, downloadable, play in background, etc
I enjoy efap which is probably the longest form, especially Mauler, the others are generally better in a mixed crowd. It's movies and Internet drama for the most part.
Dude I started of liking Mauler's dive into Soma, iirc, but he went off the rails so quickly and made some pretty disgusting diss tracks of other YouTubers that completely turned me off.
For history, I really like Premodernist. It's just a history professor telling you history. It's great because he's a good storyteller and he actually knows the subject.
Not as long form as they usually max out around an hour. Good enough for walking dogs.
New Rock Stars.
Dark Net Diaries.
Star Talk.
Beyond Trust has a podcost interviewing tech people.
I personally enjoy these but not sure if its what your looking for
The outdoor boys - goes solo camping and sometimes brings his kids along, family trips abroad, and also creating a homestead.
Westinchamplin - modifies cars and trucks for red neck science.
Paolo from tokyo - interesting takes on the life of japan series was the best. Shows all different types of jobs from japan
"Mr. Beat" (no S) is a nice little US history class, but there are TONS of streamers just starting out with no viewers who could really use your support.
I have been a fan of Kraut for a long time. He makes video essays on a lot of historical and political topics. He has made two massive three part series that total to nearly four hours about the histories of Mexico and Turkey. He makes some short form as well, like a point about american healthcare that americans don't realize.
@Kraut_the_parrot
Black Dragon Tavern
Storytelling about Celtic, Gaelic, and Norse mythology, history, and lore.
Warning: AI pictures are used to compliment the stories.
I'm sure I have a bunch but two I haven't seen here:
OrdinaryThings - has shifted to MUCH longer form current-events / documentarian content. Humorous and pundit-y but also informative about world news I likely missed. His yearly "The ___ Business of 20__" videos are great recaps.
Harke - Found this channel basically by accident and fell in love with it. Admittedly pretty niche about a VERY specific kind of retro, but it's stuff I grew up with so I'm all about it. Retro adventure games and music and that kind of thing. Super underrated!
One name I have yet to see here is We Are Not Alive (Formerly Diregentlmen), group of professional writers who talk about writing, media, and tropes. Check them out.
I like longer form sailing channels that avoid the more obvious place or lack basic sailing skills and are frankly dangerous. I don't get to sail as much as I like so this is a good look and what I would rather be doing.
Maddison Boat Works their recent videos are of their epic tour of the Pacific Ocean, the road less travelled. Beautifully shot and narrated.
NBJS single-handed sailing in the North Sea, often in bad weather.
Alluring Arctic depending what time period you pick there is a wide range of mostly arctic sailing. They recently did the North West passage and are currently over wintering in Greenland.
Hoovies Garage for some car comedy. The guy buys dump cars that need repairs and he let the local mechanic fix them. He makes dumb choices for entertainment.
Mr Sunday Movies/The Weekly Planet
Time Team Official
Cutting Edge Engineering
Bill simmons podcast. Mainly sports but a lot of just in general topics too. Famous guests athletes and not.
Jerma Long Edits, Skye4 and dumptruck make good ones
Hoog, fern, Thinker and Moon do rather similar styles of documentary content.
rSlash and Mainly Fact are the best "Reddit stories" channels that actually provide their own commentary rather than reading out Reddit posts verbatim with text-to-speech tools, or passing off blatantly fake AI slop hallucinated by ChatGPT as genuine.
Ahoy mainly does documentaries about weapons and how they're depicted in video games, but he's also done some retro gaming stuff too.
Rav is one of the few League of Legends content creators I actually like. He doesn't just lazily regurgitate stream VODs as video guides with clickbaity thumbnails like a lot of creators do. Yes, he uses text-to-speech commentary to narrate his games but his scripts are actually fucking hilarious.
Sarcasmitron is a lesser known, but really good history youtuber, with a pragmatic but leftist analysis. A lot of his earlier work was focused on critiquing right wing YouTube, but more recently he had been focused on historical events rather than responding to a specific video.
JustBackgroundNoise - morrowind challenges
PatricianTV - Extremely long format game reviews (elder scrolls, world of warcraft and more)
RealLifeLore - Geopolitics
Vice grip garage.
techieSMS, an Indian tech guy who has made all kinds of excellent walk-thru videos about DIY home automation, coding and related subjects.
used to be a bunch asain tubers, but they turn shitheel after misdirecting thier channels declines towards thier own female employees(resulting in a unprofessional firing), apparently they continued thier mysogyny against thier past female employees, and yes they are full MAGATs now. also had unchecked racism allowed to fester on the channel which drove most if not all AA influencers away.
Asmongold
