This video establishes a bad history Youtuber tier list, assessing nine of the largest Youtube history channels, based mainly on criticism they have received on r/badhistory and platforms. See here for a list of my sources.
These were my criteria for inclusion.
1. Must be a history channel.
2. Must have over 500,000 subscribers.
3. Must have been active in the last six months.
4. Must have been critiqued significantly at r/badhistory.
They typically received very low scores due to my criticism of their use or non-use of sources. I examined a representative volume of their content, at least their last 30 history videos, and in some cases more, and found in most cases they cited no sources, or only a few sources, or a narrow range of sources, or poor sources, or some combination of all of these weaknesses, as shown in this spreadsheet I made.
CHANNELS ASSESSED
These history channels are assessed:
- Simple History
- Extra History
