I really don't understand why people espouse this channel. If you watch it for entertainment sure, I suppose this video is better than watching some guys video essay about Man of Steel, but if I just want to learn about something asking me to watch 30 minutes of drivel makes no sense.

I almost always learn things for fun, not because I'm deliberately trying to better myself (turns out self improvement comes easily for me when I don't overthink things).

I'd much rather watch a 30 minute video that's entertaining and teaches me something than skim read a document for a few minutes.

He also tends to go into all sorts of interesting tangents that I probably wouldn't have even found out about if I was researching this stuff myself.

I love his videos. They are not tutorials and so do not need to be concise and to the point. They are video essays from which I learn many things in a good amount of detail, and i have a fun time doing it because he writes entertaining scripts.

Most youtube videos stop at the "what", whereas his also go into the "how" and "why". Some of us are interested in answering those questions.

Learning how's and why's also gives you tools to think about future things you encounter as well. You get a greater understanding of the world.

I think his videos go much deeper into topics I didn't realize I cared about and I find them fascinating for it. It's not about the destination it's about the journey.

Different people have different tastes. I like his videos.
