All of my shows are on streaming platforms now, and the only reason I have youtubetv is for sports. A lot of those are moving to streaming platforms now, too. I'd rec Jake Broe's channel - he is a Ukraine focused guy, but he's leaning hard into politics as well. He might even run for office sometime, or at least he's admitted giving it some thought. Lots of great non AI history channels out there, too.
