I keep thinking I should look into this MrBeast drama, then I remember I just do not give a single fuck.

I went through a h3h3 phase when I was like 20, then realised that any YT drama is just toxic and it’s best to avoid it entirely.

I miss Tom Scott, just made quality videos with none of the BS. Nothing over the top, just interesting content from a genuine guy who cares about his audience.

Channels with absolutely zero drama that are still active and I would describe as " interesting content made by someone who cares about it" :

  • cracking the cryptic: solving sudoku puzzles twice daily

  • chessnetwork: explaining famous chess matches and occasionally playing online chess, but with none of the bro culture that has grown up around chess recently

  • Folding ideas: great video essays about film or modern phenomena like NFTs

  • Technology connections: already reccommended, but in depth explanations about how electronics work

  • Language Jones: videos about linguistics and learning new languages

  • Numberphile/StandUpMaths- interesting math videos

I've seen a lot more chessnetwork drama than you'd believe

Really! That does surprise me

Actually I mixed them up with a different channel. Hard to differentiate them by name when half of them are "Chess" plus some other word lol
