    Mostly short form explainers about interesting subjects, presented in a sort of breathless British TV presenter style. Like a young Attenborough but less posh. Pretty good channel.

      I think that’s the perfect description, just nicely presented videos about something kinda interesting.

      No drama, no overhyping the subject, no clickbait, no dragging out the video to hit X many minutes for the algorithm, always does as much research as possible and covers relatively obscure topics.

        You’re right, the term has taken on that meaning by now. It’s just relatively short compared to the multi hour video essays I tend to consume the most.
