I really enjoy Isaac because he covers nearly every aspect of the particular topic and doesn't shy away from talking about both the extreme positives and extreme negatives of a particular scenario. I don't particularly agree with him socially, his wife is his wife and already spoken about on this thread and some of his crossovers are with.... interesting people. Sucks because I've yet to see anyone else have an in depth talk about possible geopolitical futures off Earth outside of his crossover with Whatifalthist.

Scott Manley is really good for space exploration and real world rocketry and space infrastructure advancements.

Simon Whistler's Megaprojects when they touch on near future developments speaking very well on some more near term missions.

And while not a YouTuber, The Economist puts out a weekly podcast on technology called Babbage who often puts out some incredible pieces be it on AI or their most recent episode speaking on the current private race to the Moon and possible commercial developments as well as who actually owns it.

I love Scott Manley, I'm big on the all the space stuff, and he's definitely the go-to for up to date information on the field of space

Whatifalthist who went from a questionable Alt Hist YouTuber into someone who thinks Jordan Peterson is a moderate and the future ideologue of majority of western men

Ah yes, whatifalt history certainly took a turn, I was aware of his right-wing biases, but his video on dating was the straw that broke the camel's back for me, I had issues with it on different levels, from it not being part of the channel to whom he was attributing the blame too, the Marxist boogeyman.

I noticed that he tends to make sweeping generalizations about vast, diverse communities like Indian and Chinese people which strikes me as kinda racist and reflective of a lack of basic understanding of the regions he is commenting on

As a Canadian his future projections for Canada were hilariously dumb so I imagine his stuff about other regions sounds very uninformed as well to people who live there
