So I've been watching a lot of Youtubers the past year or so, and I'm about to run out of content! So I'm curious what you all are enjoying? I'll start of course - some channels I really like:
Contrapoints - rarely uploads nowadays but makes great videos about social issues, especially trans and queer issues as she is herself lesbian and transgender.
Perun - weekly 1-hour videos consisting of analysis of military economics, primarily about the Ukraine conflict. He also branches out though, and has done great videos on China's military's modernisation, and the German military's procurement processes, to give some examples.
World War Two - you may remember him from The Great War, this is Indy Neidell and co. who goes through the Second World War in chronological order. It is very in depth as they do it week by week, so this is the most thorough documentary on the war available.
Skip Intro - analysis of TV shows, particularly his Copaganda series is very interesting, in which he goes on deep dives of different TV shows' portrayal of police and how, most of the time, this portrayal is very dishonest.
Climate Town - very informative and funny content about the climate crisis. Lots of things impacting the climate that you wouldn't have ever thought of before.
Jenny Nicholson - makes videos about her own interests, fandoms, nerd culture etc. Very funny but rarely uploads.
Edit: Thanks everyone for the recommendations and discussion! Lots of stuff to sift through now, thank you!

Tildes has a great function that adds the word count of a link or text post to its submission. The suggestion is this: allow the user to sort posts by length. The reason is that sometimes I wanna read something short, and sometimes I wanna read something long. It would be great to be able to easily find articles in the length I'm up for at a given moment.
Works for YouTube too.

This thread is posted weekly - please try to post all relevant US political content in here, such as news, updates, opinion articles, etc. Extremely significant events may warrant a separate topic, but almost all should be posted in here.
This is an inherently political thread; please try to avoid antagonistic arguments and bickering matches. Comment threads that devolve into unproductive arguments may be removed so that the overall topic is able to continue.

Over here in Belgium we have Bolt. They're basically an Uber competitor: Taxis, scooters, bikes and in some country even food delivery. Very popular in Europe.
The other day my partner was harassed by one of their taxi drivers. I filed a complaint on Bolt, expecting nothing but boilerplate "We're sorry here's a refund on the trip".
I got, two days later, a lengthy response detailing what they would do, and asserting that if we wish to talk to the police they will help and assist in any way they can. I then, a couple of days after that (this morning) received a call from a senior at the company in Belgium, asking for more details, offering her support, and even giving me her direct cell line if "myself or my partner need to further talk about the incident".
I honestly didn't expect this from a company which, to my knowledge, has already scaled multinationally. And yet.
