Found this outdoor channel recently. Swedwoods. He doesn't talk.

 >>/21507/
Too bad the sound quality of the incoming line, what Foam says, isn't good.
Nevertheless when the old dude starts to talk I don't think what he says necessary fits to the situation the other one is in. Basically Foam says: "I do this and this" then Tom without asking any questions about the background just go ahead and says "you do those because of reasons I say", basically pulling an explanation out of his ass, "hey this is a common problem, this is your problem". It might fit but not necessarily. But I don't know about their previous conversations I don't know what Tom knows about Foam.

If anyone is interested in paleoanthropology or archeology, I recommend checking out John Hawks' YouTube channel. Also, it's not a YouTube channel, but Spencer Wells and Razib Khan have a really good podcast about genetic geography and human origins.

 >>/21735/
Here is Hawks presenting robust australopith crania. Anyway he hasn't updated the channel in a long time but he does have a cool blog. Also, there are videos on the channel of him in the field discussing the Natufian culture, and also interviews with other prominent researchers like Lee Berger.

Ofc.

That's very good. He expresses the topic at hand in an easily understandable way and makes good use of the object around to illustrate this point. I liek he compares that skull not just with human, but other apes' skulls and each other.

But I should recommend Townsends, "a channel dedicated to exploring the 18th Century lifestyle". Some very nice info snippets can be snatched from their vids.

But I wanted to ask Bernd: what alternatives youtube has? I know about Vimeo and Metacafe, probably some others too. I also heard about a channel - with weapons as topic - that moved to Pornhub after youtube stirred some shit.

 >>/23351/
I'm using invidio.us. It gives you youtube videos without any advertisement.

 >>/23359/
Then invidio.us is good because, well, its not yt :)

 >>/23361/
He wants an alternative to youtube as a platform. Invidious is just a mirror of youtube. So if something gets censored on youtube, invidious can't do anything about it.

 >>/23351/
There are plenty of other video sharing websites, but Youtube is unfortunately the only one worth using as the others are mostly dead. Unless people one day decide to move on to something else the best option for now is probably to just carry on using Youtube and try to block as many of the Google scripts as possible with Noscript/uMatrix. Of course it's impossible to be completely free from it but disabling Google analytics should help at least a little.

 >>/27777/
In couple of regions of historical Hungary they use/d curved scythe, but it looks different. It has only one grip and the curve comes above the grip. I believe. The standard is the straight one, here too.

 >>/27800/
Also on ours around here the grip is curved by default.

Thanks to internet now I know that there are at least two classic types of scythes in Russia, коса-литовка (lithuanian scythe) with straight handle and коса-горбуша (hunchback scythe) with curved, but not like in video. Last one is used in bumpy places and in forests.

 >>/27802/
Yes, the second is/was called short scythe sounds like short sighted haha here. Read in ethnographic lexicon it's place was gradually taken over by the long scythe and by the 19th century it was only used as a reed cutter, and was called Flemish scythe.

Otherwise as map painting channels go, they are informative. In general I'm not sure that in certain circumstances how reliable the reconstructed borders can be. Even with this Syria war, there are questions, but making sense of areas, regions, from historical sources can be tough since those who wrote them had different view on things, and their expressions were obvious to them, people now most probably will think differently. Besides geography changes. Just simply pinpointing places isn't easy, for example finding battlefields.

It was liek watching the Canada vs. Hungary ice hockey match with American commentators. I had no idea who was on the ice from our team.

round-house-ditch-and... png
(35.19 KB, 680x400)

Here these two Irish blokes are building a stone round house, inspired by iron age Celtic houses. I dunno if I would recommend their channel, not just because I haven't seen their other videos beside a couple from the house building ones, but I just don't like their attitude, or how they behave.
Notable is the way they haul the rocks to the site, they use a mule to draw a sledge.
https://www.youtube.com/c/SmoothGefixt/videos

This is the cross section of their wall. They dug a ditch deep enough to reach the compact clay layer which undisturbed and solid for the foundation to lay on. But they didn't dug it as wide as the wall itself, but in this narrowing fashion, by the end the ditch is only wide as a spade basically. According to them, it's enough, I think they got the info from someone else.
Then, they filled the ditch with rocks of various sizes. As they reached the wider part of the ditch they started to use larger boulders. After they were well above ground level they built two rings, on the in- and outside and filled the gap between with smaller stones. Up above them they placed through stones, wide somewhat more flat slabs, which can reach through the full width of the wall, solidifying the layer below.
I haven't checked the latest video of this yet.

 >>/38740/
A yurt seems better imo for that round design. Stone is not a great insulator.

 >>/38741/
They also have to move 50 tons of rocks. Pretty big work.
But a yurt needs way more expertise to make from scratch. And various resources. And degrades faster with time, a stonewall like that could be there for hundreds of years, with little maintenance.
Maybe just making a dome shape from long branches and throwing up some modern materials over it would be the quickest and best. But they didn't aim for that.

 >>/38753/

Why arent houses round in design?

 >>/38754/
One could make a yurt to have windows all around. I mean one window would run around the wall from door to door. Also yurts could be attached together, for example three with two doors each could give a house with three rooms. Or having a bigger yurt in the central and doors would open into smaller yurts.
Possibilities are endless. Attila had a "tent palace" maybe it was legoed together from yurts of different sizes.

Not very good for space utilization. Square is better in that.

 >>/38755/
On a Kohl thread about that it was said that it's hard to build curved furniture.

 >>/38760/
I find that untrue. Every material we use for making furniture can be bent or cut along a curve. It just doesn't make sense for certain applications. For example a curved bookshelf is nonsensical since a row of books cannot be curved. I have to place the books a little apart if I want it to conform the shape, but that is waste of space.
A couch could be fine curved, or a kitchen counter. But that couch could mostly be used for sitting, sleeping on it could prove for great many people uncomfortable.

Here's the website for the enterprise (most of the site is in Russian it seems):
http://sfera-grifona.com/index_e.html
Noteworthy that the windows at the top of the domes are very similar to the "wheels" yurts have at the same place. Either just cannot be anything else there or those were the inspiration.

And since the thread is about channels:
https://www.youtube.com/c/SurvivalRussia/videos

 >>/38763/
> Every material we use for making furniture can be bent or cut along a curve
They used wood as an example, it's possible to curve it but expensive.

 >>/38765/
If we want to untangle this we have to check what type of woods they use for making furniture?
1. "full" wood
2. recycled wastage, maybe they ground/mince/crush pieces of normal wood to make more splinters, shavings, chaff, maybe not, but I can imagine they do that.
From the wastage they make slabs with some binding material and/or press, or whatever. These, no matter what type (plywood and OSB are two types but when I have the time I'm gonna make a little research) they all sag by themselves if they placed wrong, so doing it purpose is child's play.
From full wood they rarely make furniture anymore. Maybe chairs, and table legs, but if a furniture is full wood, it is most likely custom made for rich people, or built by a hobbyist for himself, and the cost doesn't really matter.

Next question should be what parts of a furniture have to be curved? Usually the sheet that covers the backside. That - in quite a few instances - is just a thin piece of flexible slab which can be bent on demand.

Actually even some normal lumber can bend by itself if placed wrong, like pine boards/planks.

 >>/38767/
I might continue dissecting the question because there's more to it. For example what type furniture should be curved? For example a fridge or other furniture with similar width shouldn't. Only longer ones.
And it really matters the size of the house. Here  >>/38764/ those are so big normal furnitures will do the trick don't need bent ones.

Also round housing is used for millennias noone had problems with "curved furniture" noone needed them.

I agree they ain't really aesthetic from the outside. I didn't see the inside to judge that.
With a better eye for this I'm sure someone could make a pleasant looking crib out of those domes. The chief problem that it's concrete and that makes its mark on the looks. Simply giving that a paintjob will result that tacky shit. Maybe with some additional wooden structure could give it a different look, or go into the other direction and create a sci-fi Mars habitat with modernizing as much as possible.

Ah, Kassai. He built up a well earning enterprise (I bet caught some govt. and EU moneys too). He is breddy gud at what he's doing, I saw a performance of his and his disciples couple of years back. I know some dudes who also do horse archery for over a decade now (maybe about two) and they are far from his level.
He has a channel:

Isn't a whole channel only one vid. Hungarian telly advertisements 1960-1990. All in Hungarian so Bernd will miss all wordplays, also some narration here and there it seems. But check that ad at 2:07! Take that feminism!

 >>/40357/
Things were sold and on sale in the USSR? I thought everything was le free IIRC?

 >>/40371/
Hungary wasn't part of the USSR. Not officially. 
To some extent yes, things were sold and on sale for cars - for example - there were waiting lists. It wasn't communism, as they said "we have to build socialism, until we arrive to communism". On the Hungary, where the economy got more free in an effort to please the people as an after effect of the '56 revolution, this meant getting closer to a market economy. We had stuff other Eastern Block countries didn't have depending if you count Yugoslavia here - I don't -, they had everything, or we had it earlier. From other COMECON countries people came here to buy stuff they couldn't get at home.

wew, long time since I last posted here lol

 >>/40382/
so was hungary a very popular touristic destination? or did they just come and buy

 >>/40384/
> very popular
I have no basis of comparison, so I can't really say.
Tourism developed since the 60s, and many foreigners arrived here, from COMECON chiefly DDR, Czechoslovakia, and Poland, for normal vacation not just to buy stuff. From the SU, I dunno, there were lot of those who was on business - diplomats, KGB agents, soldiers of the occupational force, etc - they bought stuff here and sent it to home, for family or for passing it further via black market.
The real money maker in tourism were the western visitors, because we could have them in numbers, and we could offer them services somewhat resembling to westernish standards. Mainly from Austria and BRD. German-German relations bloomed here since the Wall was built. They couldn't come unregulated ofc.

The point is to cross it in as perfectly straight line as possible, over obstacles - cliffs, bushes, bogs, rivers, lakes, fences, gardens, courtyards, farms, etc -, and not strolling on paved roads and tourist trails.

Man makes pretty detailed models from modelling clay (plastiline), mostly tanks and warships, sometimes with motors and working guns, and then destroys them with fireworks and flammable liquids

First channel 

ThorHighHeels: is from a Dutch youtuber who reviews really obscure videogames and gives really thoughtful analysis on games in general
https://www.youtube.com/user/ThorHighHeels

Killian Experience is a Swedish youtuber who makes parody reviews using Swedish humour. If you're into that

video.
Good to listen of his ramblings.

> Killian Experience
He needs a deeper voice. But it is funny. Although hard to find something I recognize or know about so I could relate to his jokes.

> EmptyHero
Again, hard to relate due to lack of knowledge of games. Watched some from the RE3 remake again. Some jokes might be funny, but listening 29 minutes from a chain of jokes is tiring.

Here's extremely aesthetic Chinese propaganda channel. It's a chick do "simple living" things, like harvesting soybeans and making sauce from it, or general gardening and cooking. More popular videos are watched by over 50 million users (supposedly). The whole thing is very professionally produced.
https://tube.cadence.moe/channel/UCoC47do520os_4DBMEFGg4A
https://www.youtube.com/c/cnliziqi/videos

Examples:
https://tube.cadence.moe/watch?v=3KfvUCKxCts
https://tube.cadence.moe/watch?v=3mCeQLqB7TQ
(If video doesn't work even after a couple of reloads, link to youtube is just below.)

 >>/44217/
> More popular videos are watched by over 50 million users (supposedly).
There is very simple trick to boost video views: make sure that your videos are being played on the screens in hardware stores.

It is rumoured that a large part of views on music videos are in fact from such automatic playback.

 >>/44219/
Maybe, but I think it's just that people tend to make playlists with songs on Youtube and listen to them through that so they may 'watch' the same video numerous times, it's why Touhou renditions will have millions of views sometimes.

 >>/44219/
In case of the Chinese they can just order their subordinates in the state apparatus ask their Weibo friends to watch their vids generating couple mil views.
Is that a sure trick? The hardware in hardware stores connect to the internet via the hardware stores' local network through one gateway which means it's just one node that connects to youtube, with one IP. And there are two ways to count the views: all views, or views per unique user. I think public videos measure the amount of the unique users, and when new dl requests come from the same IP, the counter doesn't tick more (unlike unlisted vids where every view counts). (Also hardware store isn't the name of stores which sell tools and power tools?)
And perhaps. Manipulators might "just" need to start the ball rolling, and youtube's trending category and algorithm can take care rest, and the manipulators "just" have to play shepherd and nudge things to keep the ball rollin.

Btw these  >>/44217/ videos are breddy gud, but they feel artificial.
All the perfectly caught details. How they keep that chick in the center of the focus by making her speech the loudest and how they hide the other actors by showing their faces very little. How she is the hero of every work procedure, how she's taking care of the others around her...
I need to see more vids, I only watched one in full, and a couple others I just clicked through the scenes. And I'd very much like to see some behind the scenes footage.
One weird happening in the pig processing video: when she prepares the large chunks of meat and the dog walks around, its interest peaked by all those food, at one point we can hear the dog squeak then in the next cut the old women is holding the dog tightly. Obviously the dog was either underfoot and maybe stepped on it by accident (by cameramen or director or whoever) or was too nosy at the meat and was smacked. Either way the old hag most likely was instructed to hold the dog as if it was a dear pet. That shot doesn't looked genuine at all ofc.

 >>/44217/
I don't see how this is a propoganda. Maybe anything other than showing smog of Shangai or mistreated minorities is propoganda for you but I disagree. 

 >>/44219/
It's actually funny thing because pretty much all shitty spotify videos are boosted this way and it's nothing chinese specific, I wouldn't suprise if big western countries like US doing it more than china despite the lower population.

 >>/44223/
In Chinese villages people never heard of Youtube, nor it is accessible to them, so they won't make scenic videos about their daily lives to upload there. But they won't do it even to their video sharing sites. Especially not with this quality, and precisely set up, directed, and cut. Most of the videos are CC, this channel doesn't paddle anything, the vids aren't documentary.
Those videos are obviously created by the Chinese state or a company contracted by the Chinese state to influence the countries image in the eye of foreign public. This propaganda technique is literally called "country image building" in Hungarian, I'm not sure what's the proper English term. Many other stuff fits in this category like organizing a Euro Cup tournament (or just get to provide a stadium like this year).
I bet a bunch of channel like this exist from various countries. I dunno why you find it unbearable that I pointed it out in this case, especially since that is the most characteristic description of those videos.

 >>/44224/
Pretty sure they heard it and I'm also pretty sure young people have acess to paid VPNs so there is that, in countries like that people have their ways to reach restricted content and sites, you pick stuff like this all the time in there. 

> Those videos are obviously created by the Chinese state or a company contracted by the Chinese state to influence the countries image in the eye of foreign public.
You throw the word obviously so cheaply, sorry but not all these videos are propoganda you act like wumaos thinking any critic of china is lapdog of USA, it's bullshit sorry.

What happens is here most likely a well off Chinese making money from appealing for westerns stupid  orientalism dream, westerns love when orientals practice their "original culture" and don't get in their way in any possible way like political or economical rivalry stuff. It's like a circus for them they go there wank to the sugarcoated backwards show amuse themselves but in the end fuck off to their country, praise the government which turned the country into circus. It's one of the reason why Japanese hate western weaboos vehemently.

Anyway I've seen such videos also in scandinavia, these are not propoganda it's just people are making money for letting you watch "magic". The more you accustomed to live in industrial shithole place the more you likely to fall for it.

 >>/44217/
It's not Propaganda, I'm not sure how professionally produced it is either(it's getting easier and easier to make things look like that). I can believe that 50 million would watch it, it's Youtube after all they watch all kinds of things and rural Chinese life would be interesting to many people.

 >>/44224/
She could be in Taiwan(real China) or just a girl who can afford a camera phone or it may even be a Chinese group that has done it to make money like a TV show(I don't know about that though but I did not watch enough of it). Youtube is full of stuff like that. Funny story that kind is related to that but kind of is not, not long ago some Australian Youtuber 'Political Commentator' called Friendly Jordie was arrested for stalking politicians, well he was not but his producer was, I didn't really watch any of his videos but from what I saw it was a guy Australian posting but verbally into a camera and the reason he was in trouble was for harassing politicians in public but even this guy had a producer.

You really should watch at least one of her videos.

Like the pig processing one. Doing that takes a whole day work for a whole family - although Hungarians do more with a pig, not "just" salting big chunks and making sausage. There is no time with fiddling with scenes. If any of you tried to record anything in your lives would know that scenes have to be re-recorded several times (I did, although it was only audio, featured two people beside me, had to record a take like 20 times, every fuking thing goes wrong all the time). Plus creating the set that it shows what it should and it looks good. On a random day it isn't guaranteed that just lights will be satisfactory for every scene. Doing that whole vid about processing the meat had to take days, but you cannot process one pig that long, it needed to be done. Which means they worked with several pigs and had bunch of spoilage/wastage. No farmer can afford that unless he is a pig farmer with many workers.
The whole thing is set and directed, and they even have to take care it looks natural (which isn't).

Here's an interesting video about what it takes for bushgraft channels doing their scenic shit "spontaneously":
https://tube.cadence.moe/watch?v=npVe3jvRZKE

 >>/44232/
> The Problem With the USA's Borders
I'm gonna watch that. But maybe that channel has some info about the area of my current limited interest: Africa, and more closely the Sahel region. Perhaps can offer more to understand the dealings of Mali and Chad and the others.

Stumbled upon this channel, wonder what's this about. Some videos have English subs.

Interesting that they still use Soviet/Russian tech (like UAZ-es in video), not Chinese.

 >>/44643/
Well, they use horses too. They utilize what is at hand. They maybe also don't want to overly rely on just Chinese stuff.
That UAZ like van was seemed new. But I see they use other Russian vehicles, like that Kamaz and others.
The structure of the video feels weird with the soldiers having conversations like they'd explain stuff to each other.
I wonder what kind of traffic goes through their "green" border. They don't even have other neighbour just China and Russia.

How accurate is this?
https://youtube.com/watch?v=4dyCo_zQGAs

 >>/45401/
It is accurate.
In '44/45 too many things are going on, and ofc I don't know every detail how changes occured.
The wording of the texts are also ok.

 >>/45401/
Also the real heavy losses weren't during Case Blue, but during the Soviet offensive of 1943 January, resulting in the destruction of the whole 2nd army. I did not notice this event coming up.
Maybe two other offensive could have been mentioned. The 1st army's participation against Iasi-Kishinov, and the 3rd army's toward South Transylvania.

Some (many?) yt channels do tricks and use shortcuts when doing their stuff. I expected to found something, a parody channel, but turns out there wasn't any such and by accident some bloke started just recently a channel with that name. It isn't parody at all. First video was uploaded two weeks ago, and he explains he was inspired by various 'tubers and begin doing "bushcraft" in his backyard to learn outdoors skills. Which is commendable.

Seems they are Turkish, but did some google translating (the occasional subtitles) and the language not 100% checking out. Maybe they are ex-soviet Turks, somewhere in Central Asia. Use of the samovar suggest that too (I dunno how popular/traditional in other countries, my family has a samovar too).

I have to tell you, Bernd, this one reminds me of that Chinese Liziqi channel somewhere further up. Looked into other videos, very good quality, some tiny moments caught on camera (like offering a bite for a playful cat) just in the right time from the right angle. 100% it is produced. But also I believe that these people in the videos are just those, unlike that Chinese chick who is the main hero on that channel, and who is 110% a  culture officer of the CCP. (Still those are good videos too, I don't deny the quality and entertainment, I'm just saying they are professionally produced.)
I wonder how many of these channels exist and who does this, who is "behind" them, who utilizes the crew, the equipment, the expertise.

He's a Russian journalist, he seeks our rarely visited places. The topics seems to be Russia related. What I could piece together is that he was a journalist for a while previously. The videos are nicely edited, most footage seems to come from his own recordings, but he works with a staff, uses drones, can get into places the average mortal might can't get in. I would say the channel has some connection in the structures of the Russian government somewhere, but it's online for 3 months now, and only has 1,7K subscribers, and 10K views tops currently. If there were support they could generate way more views to prop up the channel. I dunno.
Anyway nice videos, good content.

All wild animals has a distinctive flavor, so moar liek deer. But they have different diet. Bears are carnivores in theory (I would call them omnivores since they eat everything, with a meat preference), and the taste of meat reflects the diet of the specimen.

I can't believe these wacky companies keep sending him their foodstuff to review after the first time. Who's going to buy that shit regularly, anyway?

 >>/49017/
He gives honest reviews. He only had real problems with one item in this vid, so a it's a win for the manufacturer.
I like the story with the

> beef, diced
Steve1989 also notes these expeditious, military style food descriptions in that particular series of MRE.
Up to this day I do not know what they call it a PAIN hamburger. I have my guesses tho.

 >>/49017/
Ah forgot.
> Who's going to buy that shit regularly, anyway?
It has its market.

 >>/49022/
You must surely recognise that his presentation in them is very poor. 
> It has its market.
Defence contractors?

 >>/49024/
It's reconstituted food. His opinion is "as good as any such can be", and it is a good review for these. Except that one meal which he spits.
> Defence contractors?
No. Civilians. Tourism, camping, and hiking is a consumerised industry in itself. Bunch of people spend money on all kinds of useless shit, clothing and gear and packaged food, and go glamping with their shit. These types of food packets with Mountain House brand and the others fit into this.
Maybe you don't buy these, maybe I don't buy these, but there are plenty of people out there who do. Mostly Americans, ofc.

I'm thinking about Western Euro markets, if they buy these stuff. Because instant food ofc as popular as anywhere. I dunno what Western Euro hikers would prefer. Most Hungarians will laugh about these things, they probably never heard any of these.

 >>/49026/
We usually just do meat and or seafood on the bbq here. I can't imagine wanting to buy any of that dehydrated stuff unless I were going to a very remote and unfamiliar conflict zone.

 >>/49027/
Their pro is the shelf life, the ease and quickness of preparation. They are also light, so it's good if one can get water and don't need to bring that too.
So those will use something like these who are out for a "longer" (more than 1-3 days) period and don't have the means to keep food cold, and don't have much time for preparing meals. So those who don't camp in place, don't go by car, but are on several days hike on a trail. There might be others, like who create adventures for themselves like the straight line missions GeoWizard does, and ofc larpers, who play survival in their backyard.
In Europe however you walk liek 20 mins and you'll be in a settlement with shops and restaurants. Okay, there are areas, like national parks where this isn't true, and maybe the towns, villages would be out of way or add a considerable amount of distance.

NFKRZ has a video about Russian accents pulled by Westerners in movies. He inserted a segment of some Russian youtuber talking English, and showing how real Russian sounds, and NFKRZ says it's a overdid. This one sounds like that.

These invidious instances' popular feed always feature these two insufferable noones, the skelli hobo and the grinning pajeet. I got the impression they talk about internet drama, generating more drama. Today their videos really synced up.

I should also collect the alternatives to youtube. Not frontends, like invidious, cloudtube, piped, or whatever, but other video hosting and streaming sites.
Odysee https://odysee.com/
Rumble https://rumble.com/
BitChute https://www.bitchute.com/
Peertube https://joinpeertube.org/ - demo instance: https://peertube.cpy.re/

I also found this Joystream stuff https://www.joystream.org/ but I don't know any instances.

All suffers from the problem that the content is slim, and that mostly those content creators set up shop whom are censored or likely get censored by youtube. Which means low quality political stuff, US republican, conspiracy theorist and the like will be the staple.
On Odysee I got surprised luckily, see the above posts. And there are tech stuff.
Survival Russia has rumble, but I think he puts just a couple of videos there.
BitChute is probably the worse in content I got the impression it really is just pol-tier stuff. And not even endpol-tier but 4chan/pol-tier or 8chan-qanon tier.
Peertube, I think it's too fragmented, can't really discover instances, unless you know someone who hosts his stuff, you won't find it. Liek: https://videos.lukesmith.xyz or https://videos.icum.to/ And anyway from the examples we can conclude only crazy people use it.

I think there is bilibili if someone wants to stare at moonrunes and don't know what's going on.

At least post a youtube or other video stream channel.

Swiss Policy Research has an Odysee channel:
https://odysee.com/@swprs:3
Their website is full of useful info and links:
https://swprs.org/contents/
They generally observe and analyze propaganda and its usage. They have topics about geopolitics and wars, and covid and such. Recommended.

I did not post this channel here, but I linked at least one video elsewhere (in a politics or Syrian war thread probably, perhaps news), the CaspianReport.
https://invidious.protokolla.fi/channel/UCwnKziETDbHJtx78nIkfYug
https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCwnKziETDbHJtx78nIkfYug
He often makes a good point and offers information about a great variety of things, usually related to international relations, and does good visualizations. Are things how he presents? As Paul Harrell often says: you be the judge.

Yesterday I found this. Good Times Bad Times. Am I watching the same channel???

CaspianReport precedes this one by a decade. I'm not sure about the quality yet, found a channel yesterday but have not watched a video in full.

 >>/51335/
Okay, still not watched a video in full, listened a bit into several of Good Times Bad Times. To my ear, it pushes Western/American narratives more, in comparison CaspianReport sounds more neutral. I might be wrong but for now this is my impression.
I can't overstate that the format is very similar to CaspianReport, funny.

Geopold - A ytber from Birmingham, UK who travels to a bunch of different countries and cities

https://www.youtube.com/@Geopoldd

Here's a review he did on Hungary. The country looks cozy from what he showed

https://youtube.com/watch?v=AUfLzllYyAI

thoughts and onions on this?

 >>/21590/
> Kocayine, for mostly yugoslavian war era songs and similar

Old yt channel got deleted for some reason. Here's the new one

https://www.youtube.com/@Kocayine/featured

 >>/51713/
Heh, the fellas on >>>/ausneets/ asked just the same thing after that video aired. Well, one fella.
I watched it and gave opinion, but that was several threads ago, and won't try to dig it out.
So here's something similar.
He gets things mostly right. Tourists are getting scammed, politics and healthcare is horrible, but food is great (from traditional chow to foreign stuff). Unicum is okay, I'm not a fan, but it's unique for sure.
The country is indeed divided but the rest of the country has things to offer, not just Budapest. Even the smallest villages has now at least 1 thing to stare at for an hour. Yeah won't keep you entertained for a week for sure. But depending on what you are look for it might worth to travel around. My suggestion would be to get a place to sleep, at larger town as a hub for the adventures, and visit nearby places. This plan has the caveat that one needs to know the area, or learn about it beforehand, or have a local with advice or something. Probably car is better than public transport roads might be shitawful tho.
Two good reasons would be for doing so:
1. food, try local variations of a certain dish; for example the home of the fisherman's soup is in the southern part of the country, even has two main significant branch of it in two towns
2. booze, and chiefly I mean wine, Hungary has many wine regions with their local micro-climates and grape/wine types
Beyond this there could be buildings (such as castles), baths (Hungary is full of hot springs and baths built upon 'em), and nature (national parks with unique wildlife), and occasionally happenings (festivals or sporting events).
Major drawback for a foreigner: noone knows English. And this one is not told by Geopold.

 >>/51720/
ack turns out I wasn't the only one that knew of Geopold. 

Hungary seems liek a good place to visit on vacation. Sounds like a mini adventure being there

> Major drawback for a foreigner: noone knows English. And this one is not told by Geopold.

Just learn language and bring dictionary + translator app from phone 

Problems weren't

 >>/51738/
> ack turns out I wasn't the only one that knew of Geopold.
Well all these fags: Geopold, Living Ironically in Europe, Gattsu, NFKRZ, and perhaps others are basically 4chan/pol/int escapees. So they ought to be known on imageboards.
> Hungary seems liek a good place to visit on vacation.
Don't come here it's horrible!
> Just learn language
This. Here even babbies learn it.

 >>/51713/
All these meme obsessed channel owners are certified retards and this guy provides another proof by existing.

If there is a god out there, may he spare me from thinking 4chan/reddit humor is funny and you get decent knowledge from there.

 >>/51755/
Recently NFKRZ described his content as "slop". On one hand it's another meme, on the other hand it grabs the essence of these videos.
> get decent knowledge
As far as ~15 minutes videos go they give some idea. I don't expect a real history lesson from Living Ironically in Europe but about countries I know very little about he gives a general impression.
I'm not defending them, I'm thinking about expectations, and in their case mine isn't high.
To be honest actual documentaries on youtube that hour+ long in topics that books were written enough to fill a tiny library (e.g. Napoleonic wars), these also can feel lackluster if I inflate my expectations high.

Speaking of which. Recently came across a channel on odysee (i believe it's on youtube too), that might be good. I watched a video and that was okay. I can't find it.

 >>/51756/
 >>/51756/
> . I don't expect a real history lesson from...
You don't but so many do, hence  the retarded comments infests internet.

> but about countries I know very little about he gives a general impression.
Sugarcoated term for delusion of knowledge. Pretty much every country I've travelled were much more and different from the "general impression" which are often agenda driven or just plainly ignorant. It promotes shallowness and people won't give up on it as long as their idiotic beliefs are challenged, it's how it works. I wish I could just lay back but no, ignorants are only so get emboldened by lack of challenge.

 >>/51758/
Here's my opinion of that Geopold video:  >>/51720/ I wrote what he got right and wrote about the shortcomings too. It's an okay video and enough for foreigners to paint a picture in their own mind if they wish.
Or here's Living Ironically in Europe's video about the Treaty of Trianon
https://invidious.protokolla.fi/watch?v=xMYdZAbfi0M
https://youtube.com/watch?v=xMYdZAbfi0M
A lot more can be told, a bunch of caveats and corrections can be added, but it touches key points and after that 13 minutes an average Westerner will know infinitely more than he knew before.
> agenda driven
What isn't? Proper documentaries are like that too. Full books were written, and are getting written just to create certain impressions. Lots of them are considered objective scientific works. Especially on the field of humanities.

If you expect people to be well educated in every possible topic you have to prepare for constant disappointments.

After you did some generalized opinions, such as
> channel owners are certified retards
What are your main concerns about - for example - that specific Geopold video? What he gets wrong? How your impression differs from your visit to Hungary?

 >>/51762/
> What isn't? 
Utopian fallacy

>  Lots of them are considered objective scientific works.
Humanities is just one step away from these idiots which I don't consider an achievement.

Statistics hardly ever provide full picture, ignoring economics(which is closest thing to pass as science in social science), neither infotaintment and such videos.

We need a thing called 'eyetest' if you're not familiar with the term, it's mostly used by sports community in US, emphasizing shortcomings of statistics dependency and only watching highlights, in this case this video is more or less equivalent of highlights. 

I understand social science is way more complicated than sports, but the reason sports emphasize eyetest is not because they're simpler, it's because there are stakes for getting things right. Meanwhile no social scientist, youtuber, social media shill or local ignorant get punished for getting things wrong but only speaking against certain norms.  

Social scientists benefit from this, because with that they can have more status despite not achieving shit. People wrongfully think almost all clases try their best to do what they're obliged but we know that's not true.

My general opinion is just, it caters to stereotypes by morons indulging in to stereotypes. It almost always get increasingly ignorant and even hostile for every inch they get away from western europe.

I have internet, which is a great asset, if you use it for getting more glorified grandpa hearsays that's on you. 

Simply not watching these type of channels and listening to the most of the humanity degree idiots who lost their touch with reality is criminally underrated. Simply not thinking in their terms, being devoid of intellectual mediocrity is a huge asset, not to mention better for social gains wise, as they're mostly bitter or passive aggressive people vastly overestimating themselves. Not falling for middle intelligence traps such as this, is a virtue and reward itself.

You are projecting now. You were the one who got offended by that video. Still don't know why, for you did not present your differing views about Hungary/the tourist experience of Hungary - which Geopold made the video of.
You simply blabbering about morons and idiots, and grumbling about reddit humour. Your whole point is that your taste is patrician and everyone else is pleb. It's a meme itself in written form.

 >>/51775/
You seem really sentimental and despite I replied why your points are wrong, commiting utopian fallacy and how should we inform ourselves, you resorted to damage control as you simply have nothing to contribute. 

Not to mention you call people bots when they hold different opinion, so you're not in position to complain "you call everyone idiot" nor have any legit reason to do so. 

If you want an echo chamber where your views are not challenged you're welcome to have it. If I was a fedora, I would certainly create a small echo chamber and circlejerk endlessly, where there are no meaningful discussions happen.

Our army picked well with those canned items, that company makes solid meals, very edible, tastes fine. He did right to add salt, because they lack in that for my taste, especially compared to some other canned food, which are full of sodium.
The weird packet of seasoning is tomato soup. I laffed a bit when he added to the mix, but actually fits the flavor since both those meals can (and probably does) contain tomato. And paprika.

From the titles he covers interesting topics. I don't know about the actual content. His accent is almost insufferable for me.

I watched this about the Chinese siege of the Russian held Albazin and it was okay. He compares Chinese and European fortification - he seemed do well -, and tried to explain why Chinese siege practices different, why they evolved differently - here he failed, he did not make it clear the insertion of the sponsored content was also unfortunate.
https://yewtu.be/watch?v=7DcUVcvpV0E

This one here he compares the longbow with the crossbow.
https://yewtu.be/watch?v=dO_8ZQ37D4Y
https://youtube.com/watch?v=dO_8ZQ37D4Y
At not one point he mentions that longbow was used by folks in a limited geographical area: the dudes on the Small Island, and even there it was a Welsh weapon, who levied longbow troops to the English kings as their liege lord. It wasn't like:
> I'm Henry the XXIInd
> I have Londonum
> and now I'll raise 2000 longbowmen here
> click
Continental Europe did not manufacture and use longbows. They had "bows" and that's it. Crossbows were superior to that. It's just bows could be used by any levied peasant. They had that at home. They hunted in the communal used woods with 'em, or poached in their liege lord's forest.
He has such a twisted Anglo view.

 >>/52370/
I regularly see that channel be recommended to me, I don't remember if I have watched anything they made or not. There are many channels that look like that and I don't really watch them so it's hard to tell them apart.

Russian's aren't really European.

Longbows are good weapons, they are fast firing and powerful so they can cut down cavalry charges by shooting the horses out from under them.
It's more about culture than anything else, the English had a culture of Archery that Europe didn't. Villages and towns had communal archery grounds that people would gather at to practice, kind of like a sport or a social venue(The king also made this longbow practice mandatory at some point).

The French did have Scottish long bowman fight for them and they also tried implementing an English style of training for archers where they got villages to train with them and made them liable to be called up in times of war. I don't know if these French Longbowmen were ever used in combat though.

I found a Wikipedia article on the French archers I was talking about.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Franc-archer

It says they were archers and does not actually say they were Longbowman though but I think they probably were. And the Book that I read about it in the first place said they were Longbowmen(War Bows by Mike Loades, which is currently being used to raise up my computer monitor).

But the fort they built at Albazin was.
> fast firing
Well they are fast as any other bow. The video examines the question of rate of fire and concludes, the rate of fire might have been largely irrelevant.
The longbowmen in European history had only any impact during the 100 Years War. Firearms already started to appear and the whole thing was gone. Btw there were battles, fought with the same setup, same tactics as Crécy, and the French knights won just fine, I can recall some from the Aquitane front, I can't be arsed to search for them.

I would say that rate of fire was hugely important, that's also what most things I have read say(such as the book I mentioned before). And it makes sense, an archer has a limited window to fire at oncoming cavalry before they close, he needs to do as much damage as possible in that window.

Longbowmen were also used by the Landsknecht, well it was something like a longbow I think it might have been even bigger but is seems like it was more of a speciality weapon and not many of them used it. They were used by the English in conflicts other than the 100 years was as well, for example they were quite successful in some battles against the Scottish. The Longbowmen would create weak points in formations of Scottish pikes and the English cavalry would charge in and exploit these weak points.

Yes, firearms made the longbow obsolete. That's probably why we don't hear much about French archers, they were introduced in 1448 so they were already probably too late. Apparently they did see some combat though.

The video argues that bows were a weapon to harass the enemy, to force them into action (an early charge for example) or withdrawal more than a weapon that used to kill (which were the crossbows). Bows were used throughout the whole battle.
He also claims. Also firing is quite tiring for the bowmen, so if not in the practical tests done recently they probably did not fire in rapid succession. He mentions the difficulty of supplying that many arrows too.
I think what isn't mentioned in the video (and which does not contribute to the individual rate of fire discussion much) is the importance of volleys, that archers and crossbowmen firing together a large number of missiles. Think of the recollection of the Persian incursions into the old Hellas. How it was noted that their arrows darkened the sky.
As for the ammo supply. There is some data how much arrows were fired by the Parthians at Carrhae. A lot ofc, brought by thousands of pack animals (I think they used camels for that). All right the Persia was larger military machine than Medieval England, but there was will they took enough arrows.

Umm, those skirmishes barely larger than the clashes of football firms of '80s are don't count. I don't even know how are they part of military history at all.

Firerarms made pretty much any bows obsolete. The loud noises are better for posturing.

I can understand what he is saying and he isn't strictly wrong but what he is talking about refers more to cavalry archers than to Long-bowmen. Off the top of my head I can't really recall a battle that Longbowmen won by harassing a defending enemy to make them charge.

Whether Longbows or even crossbows were a weapon to kill or a weapon to harass is complicated given that the damage they both can do varies overtime as armour gets better and as crossbows get better and even as Longbows increase in draw weight. But most test have shown that neither can punch through plate armour. But the main advantage of the Longbow was that it shot the horses out from under enemy cavalry which caused a lot of chaos. Yes, shooting a longbow is exhausting, people like Mike Loades think that it would be a very fast but short and exhausting kind of event, they also don't think they would be shooting in volleys but instead each archer would be shooting as fast as he himself could. And that makes sense because there isn't much of a window for archers to shoot at an oncoming cavalry charge.

There are some pretty major campaigns and wars as well, like wars against Scotland as mentioned but also the war of the roses and wars in Portugal and stuff. An English royal also brought an army that included many Longbowmen crusading alongside the Teutonic order and they did fairly well.

Sudden. He seemed fairly all right in recent videos.
I can't promise but I'll do my best to avoid trying pancreatic cancer at home and leave it to the professionals.
May the earth be light to him.

Well youtube fucked up invidious and piped big time. Nothing works at the moment. Sucks monkey balls.
Hopefully a fix is coming soon.
But then youtube will try fuck it up again. And they can do it.

Goddamit, Matt.
