Interesting Videos on Youtube

Post by Rising-Sun »

Curious have you guys been watching some of these videos on Youtube...

I normally watch China in Focus, seem to have good source of information and not trying to cause bad influences to the Western Powers. Since the outbreak, i started watching this source and seem to be accurate, but not 100%.

I know this one runs by the Russia or Communist Parties: Binkov's Battlegrounds, rather funny muppet show. But i dont pay much attention to this one.

Now these two sources i found on Youtube, not really sure: Defense Updates and Convert Cabal, got some interesting videos and wasnt sure if running by the Communist or the CCP itself. Want to stay away from them, they are truly evil regimes! Mostly running by a powerful gang members that has been around before the Korean War. They dont seem to care about their own people, esp the weak ones and want to rule the world like Hitler did. Hard to believe they have gotten a way with it after many people around the world died from that nasty viruses.

Btw i am not trying to cause a uproar of politic powers here, just want to know those sites on youtube are accurate and not to get mix up with the one running by CCP.

Thank you

I've been watching Tim Pool's channels. He used to be journalist of some fame and now he has larger audience than his former workplace Vice. When he cites the news, he has article on the screen for the audience to see. He takes references from multiple sources, contacts to people involved, and generally tries to make sense of things and explain them in easily to understand manner. He also does interviews on Timcast IRL channel.

Interesting, i guess hardly anyone here watch much military or what going on out there on youtube. These videos i mention isnt bad, but wasnt sure if that was accurate sources. I do know that CCP is spreading their influence and misguide to alot of people. All they wanna do is control everything, they arent interesting in our their cultures except their own.

Tim Pool is good stuff. He tries to get to the truth of things.

Tim's YouTube channels are:
Tim Pool
Timcast
Timcast IRL (interviews)
SCNR (Tim's hired lackeys, not Tim himself)

He's also on BitChute.

So are you the one with the Chainsaw?

Or one of the men grilling while in a water filled pool?

Did you install that toilet seat?

Were you the one painting on that step ladder?

Were you on the bottom forklift or the top one?

Why were you riding the motorcycle like that?

Was that you walking in the rain carrying a jacket with a closed umbrella over you head?

Did you really drive off with the gas nozzle still in your vehicle?

Edmon was the one that inspired all kinds of wacky lance setups in HBS' Battletech game.

I tried out all kinds light mechs, crap weapons, and so on thanks to him. Great fun.

Speaking about BattleTech, BlackPantsLegion has some informative videos about it. Here they are:

It's your life and do whatever you want with it but I would not get serious stuff from youtube. For the lulz (games reviews, pranks, kittens or wonderful and helpful tutorials) yes.

You will be trolled in style by [insert here someone with an agenda] imo.

You need to learn how not to be trolled. Respected journalists, scholars and scientists are a relatively safe bet. Reading US / Russian / Chinese / EU / etc news is *not* a bad idea per se. News should only inform. If you can get respected journalists, scholars and scientists to interpret, analyse for you, that's even better. But youtube is not the right platform for that. Except the first part: getting the *official* raw news.

True, that what i trying to figure out what going on with these misguided videos. For example, Convert Cabal, kept showing ads about War Thunder, my guess they are part of that group. And the other one, showing something about nord, like data security protection and that site probably have something to do with Norway or in that areas.

They are up and down, some interesting videos, but you can get carried away what they are trying to prove or show who is better or worst.

So wasnt sure what videos i should be watching, as for myself as a american i like some good sources that are accurate. I use to watch Discovery and History Channels, but so much have change now and so much stuffs on youtube can get misguided or carried away, like been distracted by something that is not entirely true sources.

They are just selling entertainment. If you like, do watch it, you're not hurting anybody.

This is like Dante's hell: "abandon hope all ye who enter here". Here it would be "abandon good sources that are accurate all ye who enter here". As long as you don't forget this you should be ok imo

YouTube is no different to anywhere else. You get some quality, accurate videos and you get some total dross. But to suggest you can't find quality videos that are worth watching on YouTube is positively ludicrous.

Had you paid attention to the OP, you would know he is talking about current sensitive affairs (stuff that *cannot* be discussed here eh). We are not dealing with "grow your own potatoes" or "'did Socrates deserve to die' 4 hours conference" sort of videos.

Who are these the.influencer.dude666 or internet.guru87 dealing with hot topics?
