These are a collection of youtube videos that I like! That can range from funny, interesting, or just insightful. As much as I hate google and any proprietary/closed source software companies, I love the people that create and share on youtube. I will try to write a bit as to why I like every video here but there might be times where I don't really have anything to say or I'm too busy to elaborate.

One Piece and Political Literacy

---

I love One Piece, it has it’s fair share of issues/controversies and things it needs to be criticized on but the positive force this manga brings to this world cannot be understated. If you know nothing about One Piece but just know it’s long and probably getting milked for money I understand how you can see it that way because I too used to see it that way. If you think that way and don’t harbor any strong opinions toward One Piece but consider yourself to be a leftist that enjoys anime and manga you should really do yourself a favor and start the manga (PLEASE DO NOT WATCH THE ANIME). If you need more convincing please watch this video. And if you do have strong opinions about One Piece, I’m sorry you feel that way. You’re missing out, and I hope one day you’ll come to at least understand why it’s great and why it will be talked about decades after it finishes. It’s long, but consuming media isn’t a sprint. It’s a journey meant to be enjoyed at a healthy pace so you can internalize it and peel back the layers of depth it can have.

The Internet Used to Be a Place

I’d be lying if I said I got to experience the type of internet that she’s reminiscing in this video but I do yearn for a simpler less stressful and less sterile internet. and that’s why I’m here typing away at my desk lol. kinda sad she didn’t really mention neocities but whatever not a big deal really, it’s not like neocities is very hard to find

Smoaking sea weed and gambling

I love this goofy guy and the goofy vids he makes, I'm pretty sure this was the first video I watched of his and I was hooked from the get go. It also helped that me and my partner were into Webfishing at the time.

CHANNELS

these are just channels that I've been generally enjoying recently with no particular ordering or genre or reasoning and to top it all off I probably won't even update this list so it'll probably just end up being a link dumping ground of channels I find interesting in the moment ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

_{P.S. If the creator has a linktree or equivalent I will be linking those instead of directly to their channel to mitigate dead links in case something changes on their end.}
