Most forms of content don't promote long-form engagement with other people, you're often stuck in your bubble of consuming whatever the algorithm throws your way – leaving you in a state where it feels that it's irrelevant to contribute because it will be drowned in the noise. Funnily enough TikTok is one of the platforms where I've found that the algorithm connects me with other like-minded people, where I see positive engagement with most comments. For Reddit, it strongly depended on the subreddit community. On Tildes, almost every post I've read has had thoughtful conversations which I very much enjoy reading, but I too must practice to contribute...
One channel I haven’t seen mentioned but I really thoroughly enjoy is https://youtube.com/@FrenchGuyCooking his channel combines engineering, cooking, storytelling and great video editing work.
