Youtube Documentary videos recommendations

If i remember it was the internet historian who got exposed, not internet anarchist

Yeah it was.

I tried to post original creators that talk about different content than most of these channels.The video essay landscape on YouTube rn is plagued by unoriginal ideas and stale topics these days.

Not really a "documentary" channel, but Wendigoon makes some nice (and pretty funny) videos about a bunch of different stuff. There's not a ton of visuals aside from a few images that he shows, so you can do other things while his videos play (some of his videos reach the 4-5 hour mark, too).

Two of my favorite videos of him are about Japan's Unit 731 Experiments and the movie "All Quiet on the Western Front" (the 1930 version, not the 2022 one). I think they're pretty neat, but they are relatively morbid since they're mainly about the atrocities of war. If you don't like that kinda stuff, then dont watch it (or do, i cant stop you) and look at his Skinamarink video instead.
