@EMR The only ones of these I watch are Mentour because he is kind of… non-sensationalist? He talks frankly about issues without trying to make anyone scared.

@mcc low-key annoyed that the latest one is about the danger of beach holes, killing a whopping three-ish people in the US per year, "more than sharks" (because sharks hardly ever kill anyone)

@mcc I like his water engineering videos, he loves building models of dams and channels etc and using coloured water etc to show erosion, silt buildup etc.
