The only YouTuber I know is Benn Jordan because of his videos about Flock cams. Damn great.

Another brilliant person I forgot to mention that reminds me I have to learn about meshtastic
Democracy Now has a decades long track record of impactful investigative journalism and posts on YouTube

Haven't watched a ton of him, but wendigoon seems to do neat stuff with urban legends.
f4mi doesn't do long form content, but she does fun dives into niche 90s-00s tech and gaming stuff.
I like Tommy G for on the spot stuff. Turkey Tom is good for internet lore. Casual criminalist is a good one and that guy has like a dozen channels, each dedicated to specific types of events.
Casual criminalist and Tommy seem interesting, thanks
Sure thing!
At least a little investigative: Good Work
Strikes my preferred balance between information, investigation, and satire
I forgot to mention Dan Toomey, he is amazing as well.
i like fern, they are owned by electrify a private firm but the videos look good quality to me
Sadly guy got bought out by private equity
Which private equity firm bought fern?

I don't necessarily agree with his conclusions, but the stuff he digs up is very interesting.
hatedone is also ok.
Hatedone seems to have gone off rails at times but his initial work on some charities was rather interesting
YouTube belongs to google and therefore sucks; why make google rich? Classic newspapers and public broadcasters in Europe rule; they provide high quality reporting. Read the Guardian, the English version of El Pais, BBC or even Al Jazeera - best the combination of all. That way good journalism gets funded.
