Title essentially. Youtube’s algorithm is hot garbage, so I can’t search for anything anymore without a ton of AI slop and rage bait. So, who do you go to for actual good long form videos? Exposes, scandals, behind the scenes, documentaries, film, travel, transit, who do you recommend I follow?
One name I have yet to see here is We Are Not Alive (Formerly Diregentlmen), group of professional writers who talk about writing, media, and tropes. Check them out.

History:
culture/politics:
writing/education:
media/ect:
-
Tale Foundry (technically about writing fiction, but they also discuss media in general along with its themes, character archetypes, ect. it’s more interesting than it sounds)
-
Jacob Geller (mostly video games)
-
My Little Thought Tree (also psychology)
I was trying to see if someone else was going to mention F. D.
Shame for yours to be at the bottom; this is a good list of choices, in general. Excellent taste.
