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.

⭐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”.
