I love long-form videos that tell information and stories. Documentaries about most any topics, especially ones that last an hour or more, are my bread and butter. But when I’m using YouTube on my TV, I can’t tell from thumbnails what the quality of a channel is. Sometimes I find gold, but other times it’s obvious they’re using an AI voice over or AI imagery and I immediately turn it off. I’m so tired of trudging through the slop, even though it’s just beginning.
So for now, I figure I’ll check with y’all - do you have any preferred/recommended channels that make the sort of video I’m looking for, that are still human-made? I’d love to hear about them.
There’s a million great recommendations in this thread already so I don’t feel the need to add, but I wanted to chime in that the type of channel that would just use AI slides/“footage” today was always around but were just doing lazy work instead. Also a rule of thumb that seems to kinda work so far is if it’s also on Nebula then it’s usually pretty well made and researched.
