Welcome to The Nonlinear Library, where we use Text-to-Speech software to convert the best writing from the Rationalist and EA communities into audio. This is: Which YouTube channels do you watch? (A <2-min request from 80,000 Hours), published by Nik 80K on March 5, 2024 on The Effective Altruism Forum.
TL;DR: Please fill in the quick form below
If you're reading this, you're really likely to be the kind of person we'd love to have reached when you were new to EA ideas, and we'd love to know which YouTube channels, podcasts and/or email newsletters you especially like (or think are very high quality).
You don't need to 'filter' for channels with an educational or scientific vibe (though we love those, of course) or whether you think 80,000 Hours will want to work with them (or vice versa) - we'd love to hear about all and any channels you enjoy, whether they're in mathematics, gaming, fitness, or musical comedy.
So: which YouTube channels etc. do you watch? Fill in this quick form to let us know
Thank you!
Why we're asking
At 80,000 Hours, we've been putting much more resource into growing our audience (for more on that, take a look at
Bella Forristal's post about why and how we're investing more in outreach).
A big part of 80,000 Hours' marketing activity over the last two years has been partnering with YouTube creators, like
Kurzgesagt,
Veritasium,
Elizabeth Filips,
PBS Spacetime and
Gotham Chess, to put our message in front of their audience. (We've also featured on podcasts like Ali Abdaal's Deep Dive and Deep Questions with Cal Newport, and newsletters like James Clear's 3-2-1 and Weekly Robotics.)
In 2022, we asked the community for help in
letting us know which videos, podcasts and newsletters you enjoy. The results of that survey have been really helpful in finding our target audience and making our outreach work more cost-effective, and so we're here asking for your help once again - thank you!
