Good channel but a bit lacking when you actually know the topic well yourself.

That's every channel, eventually.
It's also why I stopped reading The Economist on development economics and foreign aid issues.

Yes, through personal experience in the field and maintaining communication and friendships with those still in the industry. I realized a long time ago that the Economist's material is entirely based on second-hand information (think tank, government and NGO reports), mixed in with a few sentences about market liberalization.

Yeah I mean it's youtube. I know nothing about Semiconductors. I'm not looking for a doctoral thesis.

He also gets corrected very often, no need to cherry pick your impressions to make it sound its perfect or something.
When you only have access to third party sources there is no way you can get everything right.
