The golden age of YouTube is over

My favorite corner of YouTube— lengthy, thoughtful, and often artistic video essays and skits addressing culture and politics— is flourishing right now. Some examples:

Unfolding Ideas – https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dPHPNgIihR0

ContraPoints – https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qtj7LDYaufM

Philosophy Tube – https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qihG6AGjkRk

Lindsay Ellis – https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8FJEtCvb2Kw

Innuendo Studios – https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=agzNANfNlTs

HBomberguy – https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CnPOQr1pxY8

and so on. And it seems like it's only in the past couple of years that many of these channels have reached their current levels of artistry and production value.

Most stuff on YouTube is trash, but there's plenty else to watch.

I would particularly recommend Lindsay Ellis' series "The Whole Plate[0]," a multi-part primer on film theory presented through the analysis of Michael Bay's Transformers films.
