What are some quality YouTube channels that you recommend?
Kind of tired watching trash from YT.
Edit: Thanks for all the replies. It's good to see that there are still gems in YouTube.

Some More News - a disheveled and sarcastic anchor does a deep dive into a current topic
Contrapoints - an ex-philosopher does a really deep dive into a topic (sometimes a concept or a phenomenon, sometimes a particular person or event), with incredibly high production value and costumes. Unfortunately this means she only puts out 2 videos a year, but they're now usually 1-2 hours long.
Podcasts - some have YT channels, but often no video, so if you're looking for something to watch, this may not be helpful
Behind the Bastards - a deep dive (often 2+ hour+ episodes) into different historical or current terrible people
5-4 - a podcast about why the Supreme Court sucks
Maintenance Phase - two journalists talk about various health, diet, and wellness scams and misconceptions
If Books Could Kill (no YT channel) - Michael Hobbes from Maintenance Phase and Peter from 5-4 talk about "airport books"--bad pop science books
You're Wrong About - Sarah Marshall and Michael Hobbes (until late 2021) talk about pop culture misconceptions, everything from O.J. to the Satanic Panic to Iran-Contra and more.
Gave Some More News a try and I like it! Feels like a longer, more unshackled John Oliver. Somehow even the ads in the video were amusing.
Haha yeah I think they have some of the same writers but Cody gets a bit weird with it (have you met Warmbo yet?)
Glad you like it!
