What are lemmy’s favorite video channels for more depth then you get from average news and television sources?
Prerun is one that comes to mind as he digs, thinks, and explains, and is willing to say he’s wrong. Business Insider is another one that has a great number of in depth topics, even if not quite as much as one might want sometimes. DW is another. RealLifeLore also seems to some great explaining. LegalEagle similar.
All of these are debatable to a greater or lesser degree, but I’m interested in alternative sources. What else is out there? What platform? Why?

Real Life Lore sucks. he’s algorithm bait. he isn’t necessarily factually wrong, but he’s just shallow. it plays better to the algorithm. he is pretty much the antithesis of “in-depth”. so I’m not really sure what you’re looking for if that’s the benchmark
So what benchmarks would you define as in-depth? In-depth this decade is not what is was 2 or 3 ago, due to content consumption, but your comment made me realize how cultural the concept is. On the spectrum between a 5 bounce video to a PhD leaves a lot of room.

Hah checked out the B1M mega construction videos and immediately stumbled onto the Fehmarn tunnel project which brings up a memory from when I took the train from Germany to Denmark some 10 years ago. In the middle of the journey, the train suddenly went into a hangar and maybe fifteen minutes later we were asked to A) leave all of our stuff in the train and B) descend.
Which we begrudgingly did.
We all followed the person giving the orders up through some staircases and … the weirdest thing I have ever experienced I think, through a door out on the deck of a large boat in the middle of the sea 🌀🌌🐵
Didn’t expect that 😁
