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?

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.

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.

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.

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

Dark Net Diaries.

Star Talk.

Beyond Trust has a podcost interviewing tech people.

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.

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.
