His last video is literally about topology.

>>11480080
I like Styropyro and AlfieAesthetics (more /out/ than /sci/, but there's still some /sci/ content)

>>11480080
Hi Michael

>>11480185
What's wrong with kurzgesagt?

>>11480632
They position themselves as "objective" while simultaneously trying to spread their Reddit "optimistic nihilism" feel-good philosophy and shill for the EU

>>11480660
You sound like someone that browses /pol/. Everything you think or say is invalid

>>11480674
I'm left-leaning. I think their video on Optimistic Nihilism was in no way logical or a neutral look at philosophy in general and their videos on the EU ignored the negative effects on centralizing European power on income inequality, currency devaluations, etc.

>>11480371
really ? the destin I know seems nice

>>11480080
I've heard criticisms of literally every single YouTuber on here except for 3B1B.
Is he the king of /sci/ youtubers?

>>11480674
Not the person you replied to but kurgezagt has given up with objective useful learning and has become popsci and overblown everything out of proportion like journalists even for their scientific topics. The immune system video was great when I was younger and learning, but now videos like CRISPR where they act like it’s a miracle that can do no wrong and never explain other methods of genetic modification are useless.

Some great channels if you are interested in people who actually use what they are talking about:
>the thought emporium
Cringe name but he does biological experiments and explains everything in great detail, plus other random projects. He’s done videos like growing Muscle cells in fruit collagen structures and modifying genetics to glow. His current project is growing neurons and reading their signals.
> Applied Science
Has lots of random videos where he makes things or tests concepts that are mentioned a lot but rarely shown. He built his own CT scanner and Electron Microscope, as well as custom LCDs for the Apollo computer restoration.

>>11480789
Him and his chad friend Ben Eater are great explainers. I do wish 3b1b would go faster to explain the entire concept first then go into details because he always asks the audience to hold on and that it will all make sense every 10 seconds. Solid channel though.

>>11480080
Is veritasium a contender for the worst youtubers?

>>11480890
Keep in mind that he doesn't make his videos for mathematicians — you do need to go slowly to ensure a wide audience will understand.

>>11480985
He just irks me , the bike video felt condescending , and the video where he wanked farmers made me cringe.
i guess would like him more if he were more racist.

>Ben eater
That's the dude that built a video card from scratch. Neet.
I just wish he would've spent more time explaining some of the stuff he did.

>>11481033
so you dont actually have any criticisms of his approach to and delivery of science topics?

>>11481051
That guy's not >>11480985 I can agree SED is more geared towards children and a bit condescending. Still like the topics of his vids though.
Ben Eater's vids are incremental, so any questions you have are almost 100% answered in an older vid. You could get an entire college education from his channel.

For me it's NileRed

>>11480080
what do guys think of Major Prep, or now Zach Star?
Also, I wouldn't say anyone the thread has labeled so far as bad except Kurgesagt as completely useless. Some of their videos are decent enough to learn something from. You can learn something from Kurgesagt videos too but as others have said, his level of futurism and propagation of his ideology is too much.

>>11480080
The only good sci youtubers are aoflex, graduate physics and graduate mathematics.
Plus various institute channels, like IAS.

>>11481051
He's content is okay , a bit clickbaity sometimes but not too much. He's not a lot different from veritasuim.

>>11481066
The dude is insane , i appreciate his autism.

>>11480660
NileRed is my favorite and he's also a qt

>/sci/tubers

>>11480080
No one can ever be as pretentious, fake and brainless as Veritasium. I'm surprised people still watch his shit.
If you caught him unprepared in the middle of the street and asked him some basic science stuff he would immediately out himself as a complete clown.

>>11481129

Dude his channel is dedicated to figuring shit out because he doesnt know

No one ever talks about Andrew Dotson. He manages to mix joke videos with tensor calculus tutorials.
https://youtu.be/G7qVeBPlGXI
Organic Chemistry Tutor is also pretty based. So is Numberphile. Math channels in general seem to be pretty based in general.

>>11480959
>Yikes
Fuck off.

Periodic videos
:)

>>11480632
Lied about the migrant crisis. Used true data in a misleading way. They took it off their YouTube channel but you can still watch it.

>>11480930
Thunderfoots video about the dangers of molten aluminum and water was dumb. He thinks it's not simply due to steam expansion, yet he was unable to replicate the phenomenon on the small scale and blamed it on metal oxides. If he had tried confining the water the liquid metal comes into contact with, he would have easily been able to replicate the explosions, but he didn't think to do this.

>>11481072
>>11481125
Nile Red is cool but he needs to stop hanging out with William Osman. That man is a bad influence; the people he hangs out with seem to eventually start putting less and less effort into videos, favoring "quirky" personality and "it sucks but that's okay because I'm le quirky idiot" style content.

See also that woman with brain cancer who makes shitty low effort "robots".

>>11482289
Andrew is super funny , but he's serious videos are way above my level

>>11482289
Dotson the best

>>11480674
Why would you announce your ad hominem? No one cares. It merely serves to indicate to anyone happening upon this thread that "Everything you think or say is invalid."

>>11480080
VSauce unironically. His early stuff is barely passable by today's standards, but when he started uploading a lot less frequently with longer, higher quality videos, his content got so much better.

I like PBS Spacetime, but they really shine when focusing on actual astrophysics.

>>11480912
Hes good but aimed at high-schoolers and uploads videos rarely. He does however put to challenges to his advanced viewers aswell, and he is also good at explaining advanced concepts in a way a high-schooler would understand. I would definitely recomend him to any person who doesnt know more than high school maths.

>>11481079
>Zach Star
He seems retarded and the worst part is that he is ok with it. He does present interesting topics sometimes though, which is good if you want to think about them/reasearch them more, on your own.

>>11481299
My physics professor once recomended me one of Veritasiums videos and I considered talking to him about how bad this chanel is. In the end I decided not to, because I thought he may have done that mostly for the demonstrations in the video than what the guy was saying.

>>11484249
whatever happened with that scandal?
>>11484270
>>11481299
What exactly is so bad with Veritasium?

>>11480789
He is.

>>11484270
Eh, maybe I can sort of see what they're saying. To anyone who knows about the subject prior can usually spot a lot of the inaccuracies or caveats, but if you view it as just something for laypeople it isn't all that bad really. Like his chaos theory stuff, really bare bones, misses a lot of key details, but it goes in more depth than people are usually exposed to and maybe that's a good thing. Though to be fair, scientific literacy has plummeted and the only god tier docs left are those made in the 70 and 80s, maybe in the 90s too.

>>11484280
>whatever happened with that scandal?
He got canned and is now making youtube videos where he has weekly puzzles and appreciates art and what not. Unfortunately it seems many of the problem solvers are total scrubs. There was this one puzzle that no one got and you could hear the disappointment in his voice.

>>11480903
But that's a contradiction though, you can't "get it" without getting mathematical.
So it's kind of a waste some parts

>>11484311
Eh, depends on the depth of presentation and your expectations. Sure, not many people are gonna use the fourier transform but they can still appreciate some aspects of it. I mean, depending on your definition of "get" most engineers don't get the fourier transform at all. You can bet they don't know about a representation or L^P spaces and so on.

OneyPlays.

>>11484307
>it seems many of the problem solvers are total scrubs.

A travel channel run by a know-it-all CS undergrad.

>>11484465

>>11484465
Trivia fag, through and through.

>>11484460
>No safety precautions
He’s actually pretty safe mist of the time. getting shocked seems scary but can be relatively harmless depending on the conditions, even if it still hurts. The one time I would say were he was in any danger was when he dropped the Jacobs ladder on himself.
Also he btfo of that old pedophile from MIT so he’s pretty based.

>>11480674
Not an argument

>>11484491
Astute observation there you fucking stupid nigger. Kill yourself.

>>11484483
>Arab
>btfo'd pedophile

>>11484525
Well it wasn’t because he was a pedo, he happened to be one. Actually it was college chicks, but still gross.

>>11484609
Would you happen to be retarded? You seem to think fucking college age girls is pedophilia this would indicate that you are a mangina or a roasty of the highest order. I suggest you seeth then cope.

>>11480080

Vihart Is Obviously a rather good SCI Channel

Hey, minute physics is decent, but yeah nothing beats Vsauce

>>11480185
10/10 eye candy though

>>11484460
>>11484483
>>11484376
At least some of the time he gets shocked is fake, for comedic effect. For instance, go frame-by-frame on his "electric guitar" video and you see pic related, which is obviously fake.

Now, of course I wouldn't expect him to actually subject himself to that "electric guitar"... or maybe he did but he spruced up the video a little bit with effects. Either way I don't really care, it's legitimately entertaining content.

I'm sad watching that now. I signed up for my uni's FPGA course to get the chance to make my own without having to wire a million chips manually. Then the virus came and our labs are cancelled so VGA stuff is off the table unless I get my own devkit.
