That is why I wrote this right after the first posting :-DD

I mean, for the most of us and the level we work or play with electronics the basic laws we learned in school suffice to get things working.

It’s all a protracted ego flex for YouTubers to show how intelligent they are (The real reason is actually just earning convenient ad revenue for a string of pointless videos)

I un-sub from channels that demonstrate this level of lowest common denominator idiocy.

The ACTUALLY VALUABLE, intelligent channels are the one a handful of people suggest by word of mouth, not the ones spammed at you 24:7 with staged clickbait thumbnails. YouTube has LONG ago turned into a circus.

Ok, so let's turn this thread into something useful. Name three (relatively unknown) channels that are worth subscribing to. I'll leave the one most people here already know out: W2AEW.

W2AEW (https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCiqd3GLTluk2s_IBt7p_LjA , no need to introduce him).

So here are my three channels (also, I would like to add: it would be better if they haven't sold their soul to some PCB manufacturer yet - I have unsubscribed from many channels after they became the little bi***es of said advertisers)

0033mer:

Lots of simple but clever circuits (and embedded solutions, as well). Keep you breadboard at hand. He does not waste time: shows the circuit, explains how it works and shows its applications.

Curious Scientist:

From Sweden - just found out and I like his tool and instrumentation DIY attitude.

JohnAudioTech:

It's like hanging out with an old friend, in front of a lab bench. I find John's channel relaxing. He's calm, humble and he knows what he does. Mostly about audio stuff.

Now, name three more that are not already listed.

(I am adding one that is no longer active: Allan Yates' Lab - http://www.vk2zay.net/ - I really loved his Advent Calendar circuits: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLFA57ACAC0F0DE0D1 and https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLm7XTXZCXl_O9xLPreHBY0jxmuco8UKBE )

I care.
I think it is important to know if electrical energy travels through the wire or outside the wire.
How can anyone make a correct prediction without understanding how it works.

There is sure a definitive "right" answer.
Energy can not both flow in to a capacitor and trough a capacitor when charged. Is either one or the other.
Since we know capacitor is an energy storage device the energy flows in to a capacitor when charged else you could never charge the capacitor if all energy flows through.

The successive back-and-forth videos replying to one another are surely both an ego thing, and most of all, a way for them to protect their image (which you must realize is for them a business), and I can understand that. In other words, that ends up getting annoying, but they unfortunately don't have much choice. If they leave someone else "debunk" their videos without replying to that, they are by default acknowledging they were wrong, and thus their image gets a dent and their YT channel loses credibility.

Doesn't mean that what's being discussed is not interesting. But you must realize that this is a general problem with online discussions, especially when someone cares about their image. You just can't let others "debunk" you if you think you're right or that the other has not fully understood your point. Letting them is akin to approving. Of course, unless you were actually wrong, which can happen, in which case the appropriate reply is just to admit you were. But in many cases, as with this discussion, there is no fundamental "wrong" in any of what Veritasium, Electroboom and others have said. Those are just different points of view, and they are essentially debating models, none of which is fully accurate or fully depainting "reality". Our models are just useful tools. Just my 2 cents.
