Even if you can't afford Nebula, I recommend browsing its explore section, because many of its high quality creators and videos are also on YouTube. The following are some of my favourite creators on YouTube.
30 minute animated documentary-style videos: LEMMiNO, melodysheep, fern, Hoog, neo, PolyMatter, Imperial, Cipher, Real Engineering, Mustard
Shorter explainer videos: Posy, Kurzgesagt, PBS Space Time, Sciencephile the AI, minutephysics, Steve Mould, Half as Interesting
Sad to see no love for one of the coolest dudes in Nebula, Grady from Practical Engineering.
If you like seeing how civil engineering projects happen, there's no better channel. It reminds me of PBS shows I watched as a kid
I watch him on youtube, love his videos. Very straightforward and informative.
I love that he's established enough in the niche that he gets access to film civil construction projects, too. Great stuff
I'd be a little wary with Kurzgesagt. Tldw their funding can be traced to Bill Gates' many companies.
How Kurzgesagt Cooks Propaganda For Billionaires
LEMMiNO is my favorite bi-annual creator.
Nexpo does some really good stuff too, but I think recently he's just been doing like Reddit deep dives, and that is only so interesting.
It's pretty funny that Sciencephile the AI can be recommended as a good non-AI source of info now that more capable AI is real and not just scifi.
