yeah, I did check dates after, my irony circuits were just too fried when I first read it >.>

It looks like that's indeed the case, and they've been around long enough that Handmaid's probably wasn't that well-known at the time. Still, the irony is off the charts... have they considered changing their logo to the traditional four-armed rotationally-symmetric sacred Buddhist symbol? >.>

great article, and I had no idea that happened to Brian Krebs, of all people! o.O

I do think the EFF makes a good point though, and I think personally I tend to be biased towards content neutrality over moderation (at least, more strongly the larger the platform is, and Cloudflare is very large). Not to the point of Xitter, obviously, but I think there's at least a reasonable argument for Cloudflare in this case.

that said, after some searching, I did find the following two articles, and I find their arguments against Cloudflare very compelling:

Fortunately I'm already using end-to-end SSL certs via Caddy, but now I'm considering just moving off Cloudflare entirely and instead providing regular backups to Internet Archive--most of the stuff I host is entirely static and very lightweight.

I think there are plenty of channels that aren't just using "cheap stock photos and/or blender animations", and I can list some examples if you'd like. The first criterion is harder, though, because sci-com by its very nature isn't going to be original research, so channels in this category tend to be more creative or opinion-based (i.e. multi-hour video essays).

That said, if I'm trying to really get at the gist of what you're saying, I think you're looking for shows that have a lot of original work and high production value?

Some random examples I can think of (I'm sure there's plenty more):

  • 3 Blue 1 Brown
  • Captain Disillusion
  • Gamers Nexus (specifically their investigations)
  • Smarter Every Day
  • Every Frame a Painting (inactive but with a huge catalogue)
  • PBS Eons
  • Technology Connections
  • Montemayor
  • Taylor Lorenz
  • Climate Town
  • Tantacrul

(this is excluding so many great video essayists and artists since the original comment seems not to be referring to those)
