Not to get too much into secret fascist talk again, but is anyone familiar with Mark Felton? He is a British historian and author who does a lot of WW2 history videos with an undeniable emphasis on Germany. His comment section is rife with Holocaust deniers. I've noticed that when other users push back on the neo-Nazi crap their comments mysteriously get removed while the fascist crap remains. I don't know if Mark is personally moderating his YouTube channel but the editorial choice is not even subtle.

Thanks Ants posted:I don't think it's just a today thing, I assume every generation before us hit a point where they were like "who on earth is that person, I don't recognise any of this music" because your life ends up having more things going on in it It's just a today thing. Culture in the internet age is completely decentralised for the first time since the advent of national radio. The industries which used to shape culture via a tiny number of commissioners within half a dozen platforms have shrunk to supporting a small cadre of global artists, and the rest happens via a series of loosely networked online subcultures. It's true of lots of parts of life, but especially music because of how music discovery was such a big part of the early web, music subcultures are now more numerous, more siloed, and bigger/more self sustaining. edit: it's also way cheaper for anyone at home to produce and distribute music of an incredibly high quality so there's way more of it, and so genre is more fluid and faster moving than ever.

No, he actually offers sources for places where Felton has straight up plagiarized from different blog sources, forum posts and sometimes even wikipedia. I'd been recommended Felton's videos a bunch last year (probably because I'm a big fan of the Time Ghost guys and their WW2 channel, imho they're a real shining example of how to do popular history without pulling punches) but something didn't sit right with me after watching a few, they're very...content farm. This guy just states it pretty cleanly in Felton's case of what the issue is, and it was easier to link rather than type up a whole thing.

Was subbed to Felton for a few years; if history is a feast then Felton is porridge with a vaguely unpleasant aftertaste. Not recommended.

Franky if you see a Youtube history channel it's smart to start with the base assumption that it's crap. If you're lucky it's just wikipedia-level summary. If you're not it's crazy bullshit. Note that I'm talking mainstream history here. There's actually some decently well researched and presented history on it, it just tend to be history of non-traditional subjects like internet drama and game development. edit: see also: history podcasts.

EpicCodeMonkey posted:Unless it's Tasting History with Max Miller. They're always fun and seem decently well researched. His latest video on weinerschnitzel was pretty funny because he did a lot research on the history and origins of it, and found that every origin story doesn't line up with the timeline of when it was in cookbooks and that there is no real known origin of it. Turns out we may never know the exact origin, but it being "meat covered in breadcrumbs and fried" is common enough that it just sprouted organically. His cookbook is very good too and has a bunch of history about each dish, he does a lot of good food history.

BlankSystemDaemon posted:HTR is great, but so is Treasure Creation Channel ATENALES: I dunno.I'm pretty sure I just watched a man coat a cooking pan in mercury, after filing and sanding all the casting marks off one piece of it, polishing it to a mirror shine and then riveting it by hitting it with a hammer he was holding by the very end of the handle. (Ok I looked it up, he coated it in tin, which doesn't seem great either?) I've been enjoying the Dean Doherty channel somebody probably linked. Just a guy fixing tools, very relaxing.

If you want niche/esoteric history, check out Crecganford. He's a scholar of Indo-European mythology and talks about a very wide range of related topics. His videos are fantastic and he has a nice soothing voice if you like videos to relax to (fall asleep to).

In context of that, since I avoid their videos since that drama bomb a while ago, I'm still curious... is LTT Labs finally doing something tangible yet, or is it still just a dumb money sink?

At least Steve said the fan tester thing would take many years to ever be worth what they paid for it, but it's something he had wanted and he was in the position to be able to get one.

I'm at least going to assume Steve at least reads the manual for his testing equipment, LTT's videos whenever Linus showed some hyper-specific piece of testing equipment were always "And we got this really expensive tester! Luke, we have someone who knows how to use this, rig... why are you shaking your head? Eh, it's fine, we'll figure it out!"

At a certain point I think Steve is just a gear nut and he likes having the cool tools. Which is fine, he's got a job where he can afford them and even have a theoretical use for them.
