I don't follow any portal or sites (except of this one) because ones i saw are fulled with pseudo scientists full of great idea, and none of the useful stuff.
But on youtube there are some amazing technical minded people and i recommend

Electronics:
-The Post Apocalyptic Inventor
-mikeselectricstuff
-ElectroBOOM
-lasersaber

Mechanical stuff:
-colinfurze
-AvE
-Engineering Explained
-jimmydiresta

Physics:
-DrPhysicsA

applied physics:
- Applied Science

All those i mentioned above are source of interesting information and you have chance to see a lot of things you probably  wouldn't find in your everyday occupation.

I don't follow video blogs because I can't speed-read them to see if there is anything interesting. I can speed read the equivalent of a 30 minute speech in a few seconds sufficiently well to know whether or not I want to read it properly. I'm prepared to spend a few seconds to see if something interests me; I'm not prepared to speng 30 minutes!

Plus video blogs aren't searchable.
There are lies, damned lies, statistics - and ADC/DAC specs.

you can watch at 200+% playback speed if you cared. but I agree, it still takes way longer than to read the equivalent amount of information.

You need to look harder.

You need to understand the limitations of this: site it has significant strengths but - like all other sites - significant weaknesses.
