I don't know about you, but I spend WAY too much time browsing on YouTube. Here's a list of some smart YouTube channels you should be obsessing over instead of BuzzFeed. Happy binging!
1. Nerdwriter
Nerdwriter is one of YouTube's best finds ever. His content is sharp, thoughtful, and most importantly, visually appealing.
2. Wisecrack
Wisecrack is heaven for all kinds of nerds out there. From Star Wars to Rick & Morty, there is something INTELLIGENT for everyone on this channel.
3. TED-Ed
TED-Ed covers a wide variety of content with its amazing animation. The voice-overs are bold, intelligent and well put together. Since, it is not run by a single person, there are SO many videos on the channel. Special recommendation for those who enjoy philosophy and science brainteasers.
4. The School of Life
The School Of Life has some wacky content. (Definitely not everyone's cup of tea.) Their political theory videos are particularly wholesome and informative.
5. Vox
Vox is so intellectually stimulating. Personal favourite are the Vox Borders videos. Honestly, I feel they are so under-appreciated for all the quality content they put out there.
6. Lemmino
Lemmino is once again an acquired taste, I'm afraid. He covers all kinds of things, from murder mysteries to UFO cases. Watch out for those stunning thumbnails!
7. CrashCourse
I don't know about y'all but I love the Green brothers and ANYTHING they do. More often than not, I find my course material for classes on this channel! Although, the content was more relevant for high school classes, it's never too late to learn a thing or two about French Neoclassicism.
8. VICE News
If you're yearning for some modern sources for current affairs, then VICE news is your answer. It's credible, sharp, and most importantly, relevant.
9. ScreenPrism
I would recommend this channel for all the cinema enthusiasts. ScreenPrism analyses movies in a refreshing and visually stunning manner. Their content on Game of Thrones and Rick & Morty is an absolute delight.
10. NowThis World
Another brilliant provider of no-bullshit international news. They talk about radical ideologies, influential leaders, powerful countries and so on. They also explore historical conflicts as a bonus!
