A relatively new YouTube channel covering some of the most fascinating and mysterious topics I’ve seen in recent history. Excellent journalism on YouTube in a time where algorithm-bait garbage has become king.

CHUPPL is a channel making journalistic content. Very interesting stuff and they typically talk about things that no one else addresses.

-Oki's Weird Stories, mostly bringing light to unknown stories, very high quality and well-researched. rec: "The Deadly Basement of a 4chan Doomer" + "How I Infiltrated a Bizarre Conspiracy Cult"
-Leeja Miller, political video essays from the perspective of a female, queer lawyer. rec: "The US Is Ugly. THIS is Why." + "Why Are Americans So Obsessed With Communism??"
-The Right Opinion, mostly deep dives on different pop culture topics, but his trilogy on Onision really does feel like a true crime doc. rec: His Onision series + "The Never-Ending Nightmare Of Nikocado Avocado"
-Wendigoon, does a lot of horror deep dives, sometimes its about fictional media like ARG's but he also does a lot of deep dives into real life crimes. rec: "The Most Disturbing Cult of All Time: The Ant Hill Kids" + "The Story & Footage of LA's Most Infamous Heist Gone Wrong" + "The Cult, Standoff, & Conspiracy of Waco"
-j aubrey, similar to The Right Opinion, but he does do more content on real-world stuff. rec: His Epstein trilogy + "The Depraved World of the Duggers | A Biblical Scandal"
-DonnaIRL, pop culture deep dives with a more psychological perspective (im pretty sure she's a psychologist). rec: "The Cult of David Dobrik: How to Keep a Group Obedient"
-Coffeehouse Crime, i used to really like true crime youtube, but after watching Pinely's video ("The Broken Morality Of True Crime Videos") i became disillusioned with the space. coffeehouse crime is the only channel i feel does it right and respects the victims. rec: "The Tinder Date Murdered By A Cult | The Case of Sydney Loofe"

This is what YouTube was built for: people with a particular interest in a niche topic with something Interesting to say about that topic!!! I like to think that Indiana Jones would also have a YouTube channel debunking alt-right archealogical myths if he were alive today <3

Sketch comedy group that originally got big on TikTok (to my understanding, I don’t use it) but now makes some of the most original YouTube skits I’ve ever seen. While a good amount could be classified as “bro humor”, it is all tongue in cheek. Where they really stand out is blending a cinematic, emotional style with relatable absurdity, something you really have to see to understand. Thus far I’d argue their magnum opus is “TRAPPED”.
