At least its about a major historical battle that lasted for months and not a hours long 'video essay' on some shit game.
On D-Day a channel is planning to do 24 hour long hour-by-hour series on every single thing that happened on D-Day, as it happened. Their WW2 series that has been doing a week by week retelling of WW2 as it happened across all fronts is pretty solid, even if it’s not incredibly in depth.
Indy Nidell?
Yep.
It's not quite as "autistic" in the sheer level of detail, since it's a day-by-day view of the war.

Yes I watch WW2 (and most of WW1) gives you a really good picture of how quickly some campaigns developed when your getting it in weekly videos. I think they did a 24 hour pearl harbour video as well.
They do go light on the detail, but by there own admission they try to keep vidoes to the 20 minute mark and you can't go into that much detail when there's major battles all over the world. Their extra videos are good for the details, but I find those hosts a bit harder to watch, its all pretty well sourced though.
They go well into the politics of command and logistics and the difficulty of wrangling the allies together which I think most WWII histories miss out on for either a simplified version or an autistic focus on the blow by blow strategic and tactical manoeuvres. I appreciate that about them, if nothing else because it highlights what a tard the KMT, among others, could be.
TIK also does that

I close the browser as fast as is humanly possible.
I Think the only long narration youtube I like is Fall of Civilizations and The Exploring Series. Yes SCP is stupid but he's got a good narrative voice. Fall of Civilizations I was a little disappointed with the bronze age collapse because the dude literally just read from a single book, the pop culture 1187 year civilization collapsed. He could have, and should have, drawn from the multitude of other books on the subject. That said he was giving it access to people who wouldn't read it normally, but it was a bit dismaying when I saw he was just using a single source.
Anyone reliant on pop cultural metaphors like that I won't have the time for. It's okay if you do it once or twice. Back when it was around everyone and their mother had some "This was a real life GOT" in the prologue to whatever they were covering.
>fall of civ
Yeah his early videos weren’t very strong. He upped the quality a lot, which is why theyre now hours long and come out once every 4-6 months. I think the khemer was the first good one, but the Assyrians one is great
the WW2 channel has been fantastic, as others have pointed out. Week-by-week coverage of the events of the war, with additional content during the week.

also this
same team did a 24 hours of Pearl Harbor, IIRC.
His interpretations of non-military history stuff is ... interesting.
however his coverage of Stalingrad and other battles has been top notch IMO. Just about every point he makes / event he covers in those videos he lists his sources from credible historians. Few others do that.
Re cap kills them. Makes it a pain to listen too.
Are you ready to witness true autism?
I'm gonna listen to this in the background as I play a game.
God help you if you find the 20 hour Skyrim retrospective.
Why, though. What's in for it for them? Why do they make these vids? Do they get paid even if viewers only watch a few minutes and they hope the "uniqueness" of having a workday-long video will attract them? Even if it's sheer autism there can't be that many autists who (unironically) watch the whole thing .
people leave it on, imagine 100k views 1 hour long, that's enough to get monetized instantly and make some bucks
The point of a lot of these multi hour long videos are not to be viewed in one sitting but rather about 30 minute chunks, if they are actually well made they will be written in a way that makes this work well. Some do just actually make a 8 hour long rant b***hing about a response to a response to a response.
These videos are literally just retelling of every single quest with almost no input. I watched the 12 hour morrowind one and felt like a dumbass afterwards.
Awful garbage, hope this trend dies really fast
>fallout 3 takes place in a world devasted by nuclear war
>proceeds to read all the lore from Fallout 1&2 straight from the games Wiki as 'background info'
I think it happens because editing actually takes more time than recording and this basically eliminates the editing process, and the length helps it become eye catching. If it’s so long, it must have a lot of effort put into it.
You are like little baby
Agreed because in the time you would listen to
This bullshit you could literally listen to an audiobook on YouTube.
Stalingrad Battle Data
>inb4 vatnik propaganda
It tells the story of the Eastern Front mainly from the Russian perspective yes, but it's not full on Zigger either.
TIK also has a series on Crusader and a few other battles. Not sure if you would count the World War 1 and 2 series by those one guys that goes by week.
Greg's airplanes is pretty good on deep dives to ww2 airplanes, although quite dry at times as he goes through some NACA stuff.
Heres like 7 hours of content on the design of the P-47.

Not really /k/ related but Fall or Civilizations podcast is on YouTube and has excellent research + good production value for the sounds, very immersive.
Toldinstone is a Roman history-focused historian that does excellently focused but detailed videos on mundane aspects of life (e.g. 'What did Rome Smell Like', 'Why were gladiators fat', 'how many Roman soldiers grew old', 'night on the town as a Roman aristocrat' etc.)
His cadence and manner of speaking is good for listening to in the background/sleeping too

Gonna second both of these. Fall of civilizations is borderline god tier, just pick an episode that sounds interesting to you and be entranced. Told in stone focuses on short but very specific content about very nice, everyday and less covered topics, to give you a better picture of the day by day world of antiquity.
I’ll also add Ancient Americas, which is focused solely on the Americas but is quite in depth on history and very explicit with his sources.
There’s also Historians Craft, who has a focus on explaining what we do and don’t know, and how we do or don’t know it, and debates within the field over specific topics. He makes no attempts to wow you or bullshit.
Esoterica is the most godtier academic YouTuber, imo. No one covers niche theology better than him and I don’t think anyone else is making content like him. Dude actually seeks out untranslated Kabbalistic texts and explains them. And he sticks to his guns of refusing to make his content 101 stuff. He more than earns the right to insist on introducing himself as Doctor Justin Sledge.
This is exactly the shit I was hoping from this thread, you're based thank you anon
Ive relistened to some of the fall of civilizations eps multiple times great great podcast.
I enjoy Historia Civilis for Roman/Greek content, although he unfortunately only posts every 6 months or so.
obligatory Dan Carlin. Made something like a 35 hour podcast on WWI. His 20 or so hour fall of the roman republic one was great too.
>another hitler/darth vader analogy
Spheres of influence wiener sucker
Play by play of the Battle of Guadalcanal, in extreme detail, 4 hours long.
There's also Admiral's Decision, a doujin series that is unironically one of the best resources I've ever seen for the Pacific War. It's mostly compiled battle reports with 2 pages of vanilla girl-on-girl action per issue.

TIK is a skitzo mess nowadays he uploaded a long video where he rambles how there's a shadow war between gnostics and other people going on behind the veil. Apparently Hitler, Napoleon etc were gnostic warriors.
>thought you were joking
>look it up
>it’s real
Wow. Is it actually schizophrenia or is it just part of his seething about national socialism
No idea I wish I hadn't watched those videos the arguments were bad and left a shitty taste of the guy.
I’m getting into one of them and it’s almost immediately schizobable
>Marx was a secret gnostic and the stages of class society were secretly taken from “gnostic” ideas about the three stages of history
He’s also not even remotely close to what Gnosticism was, and he seems to be associating Kabbalah with Gnosticism, and he seems to be implying that Gnosticism was a later revision of Christian theology… actually everything he’s saying is such blatant schizobable. And then you read the comments and it’s a mix of praise, schizobable and people talking about how Christ saved them and we all need to follow Christ
This dude is supposed to be a reputable historian? He seems to be having an actual psychotic episode
schizo is what sells nowadays, just look at Elon
A libertarian scizo is infinity more interesting than anyone with the most cookie cutter, peer pressured political leanings.
Holy shit it gets worse and worse every few moments
He literally thinks occultists are a major force in society and that occultists are all gnostics, and that hermatacism and gnosticism and kabbalah and neoplatonism are all the same?
>this religion is so good that many have fallen for it
>many atheists believe in this religion today but don’t realize they believe in it
>you’ve not heard of it because the higher ups of this religion retain their power by keeping things secret
How did tens of thousands of people just. Blindly accept this as fact? This is fricking Facebook tier
At least he's the interesting kind of schizo and not the trooning out type.
I might actually watch that shit to see how the corruption affects this kind of people. Link?
Knowing anything about hermetacism or Gnosticism or theology or Hitler or Marxism makes it pretty immediately obvious that he doesn’t know what he’s talking about and it’s basically all coming from a single book he read and a Ted talk he saw about how occultists are responsible for trannies. It feels genuinely schizophrenic at times. He even claims the concept of the renaissance as a time period is a gnostic plot.
Thanks. Much better than I feared, and at the same time much shittier, I see what people mean by quote-grasping and such.
Also holy frick I want to dump all gnostic trash into null-space just to watch them realize they were wrong about everything as their very essence disintegrates in primal chaos. Fricking entitled c**ts.
Why seethe about gnostics? They don’t exist anymore, they were wiped out so long ago we barely even have records of what they believed, let alone their day to day practices. You might as well be mad at Canaanites.
Bo Hitluh woz a gnostic the history lois wiun a dobait
Kek those videos are the worst and James Lindsey jumped the shark.
Btw those memearrows were direct unedited quotes from his video.
why has someone been posting this moron's channel here recently
>someone made a long documentary about the eastern front
wow SO autistic, no-one's ever done this before!!!
>TIK
Absolute garbage pseudo intellectual libertardian who only quotemines and doesn't read the sources he pretends he does.
Me's had multiple mental breakdowns because of this series so far. The thing's fricking killing him.
It's honestly his artistic masterpiece. No one is going to dare try to top it.
Why should anyone take him seriously when he gives so many demonstrations that he is a moron who “reads” a single book and then claims to be an expert on a subject?
TIK is a fascinating guy. His Battlestorm videos are great, incredibly well-researched and genuinely seem to focus on getting to the truth and challenging entrenched misconceptions, but then his politics and economics videos feel like /misc/tier rambling just without the anti-semitism as he tries to convince you Elon Musk is actually a socialist
