Yeah, and CGP Grey, Ian Danskin's Innuendo Studios, I enjoy the Crash Course series though more classes than topical, and Kurzgesagt is amazing though has their own type of bias.
But if I want to know something about e.g. Boeing or train derailments or a deep dive into student loans, or something I did not even know that I wanted to know about e.g. the current status of ethical farming wrt chocolate, or food delivery apps, he has it all covered. So it is not only the depth that is fascinating, but the width and breadth of coverage as well (both wrt a single video and moreover the number of those total).
Unfortunately it mixes in opinion and interpretation directly integrated alongside the delivery of the facts. So it is funny (juvenile), informative (truly!), and overbearing all at once, and seems designed to leave you feeling more informed than you actually are upon watching.:-(
Still, they offer so very many videos on so very many topics, and I have never seen anything these days that comes close - e.g. their Boeing video describes more in 10 of its 30 minutes than a typical TV "documentary" these days (at least, of the type my mother watches), and then it goes on to cover essentially what a full length feature film documentary would cover, all in something digestible while eating a lunch (or two). And I respect that so much - that takes effort and skill that is hard to match.

Now we have graduated to the disinformation age:-(
Somehow I feel like you would know better than I on the matter pertaining to this subject... (Lemmy equivalent to "username checks out"?:-P)
Mustache only=sexual predator, goatee=evil, etc. - facial hair never lies!:-P
I feel like you will appreciate it when I say that this song was crap-tastic!:-)
Listen here young'un, back in my day the only thing that would randomly fall from the sky was bird poop - and we liked it that way!
Trevor's standup specials are all really good, both before and after he came to America. He has a strong act, talking about his personal life and responses to that.
But he wasn't as good a fit in a team environment talking about mainstream American matters, except ironically when the show was "over" for the day and he talked more in his personal voice again. I strongly hope to see him land somewhere else where I can enjoy him again - I'd definitely keep following his comedy specials.
Though nothing compares to Jon Stewart being back in the saddle again!!! 🎉 🤩
Afaict he is the last "investigative journalist" left in America, though he is biased himself, yet who else comes close that amount of depth?
Fwiw, this is how I choose to view the situation:
