    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

      If you like gaming YouTubers, there are plenty who try their best to stay drama-free.

      RTGame, Spiffing Brit, AmbiguousAmphibian, Dunkey, Game Grumps, General Sam just to name a few.

          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

      I’d like to add to the list a few entries on history and physics channels:

      -The Histocrat: in depth video essays regarding the history of many neolithic to bronze age cultures around the world as well as the history of several mythological creatures.

      -Fall of Civilizations: podcast describing a detailed picture of many ancient cultures around the world, from their beginings to their golden ages to their fall.

      -North02: EXTREMELY detailed videos (sometimes bordering on documentaries) about many stone age cultures and topics, I loved his essay on neanderthals and just how long it was.

      -Trey the Explainer: great YouTube channel talking about many topics that often dive into history. I recommend watching his video on the first joke in history.

      -Angela Collier: AMAZING channel regarding physics with the great Angela Collier, if I remember correctly she has a PhD and has explained many physics topics history of physics and physics as an academic field.

      -PBS SpaceTime: I think this one is WAY more recognized but in case it is not, this channel is physics oriented and also provided very detailed explanations of many topics of the field.
