Absolutely zero disrespect intended here, but what does he do? Like, whatâs sort of vibe/stuff does he do? Only curious as Iâm looking for a channel to peruseâŚ
Mostly short form explainers about interesting subjects, presented in a sort of breathless British TV presenter style. Like a young Attenborough but less posh. Pretty good channel.
I think thatâs the perfect description, just nicely presented videos about something kinda interesting.
No drama, no overhyping the subject, no clickbait, no dragging out the video to hit X many minutes for the algorithm, always does as much research as possible and covers relatively obscure topics.
You're right, the term has taken on that meaning by now. It's just relatively short compared to the multi hour video essays I tend to consume the most.
Hard to pin Down. Most of his stuff is going to unique and unusual places and customs and why they end up like that. But he also does some pretty great videos on linguistics and computer science.
I would say the best to describe his content is that he is a journalist doing those old school "general interest" style news stories.
My best answer would be for you to go to his YouTube channel, find a video that even mildly piques your interest, and watch him. Like the other person said, he's hard to pin down because he doesn't cover one specific field of interest, but he does make sure to research everything he's talking about. He can even make talking about poorly designed road intersections interesting.
