I'm really into unusual/insane/unhinged. I find them fascinating. I've followed conspiracy theorists, alien abductees, otherkin, therians, people who eat cat fur of their sofa, etc etc.

I'm looking for good weirdness to watch during downtime. Any suggestions.

Really nasty people will do.

Bald and Bankrupt. British guy with maxed out social skills goes to random places around the world (like Bangladesh) and talks to locals.

Yeah the things I read about him are quite controversial. But whenever I've seen him on video (even filmed unknowingly by others) he's always seemed like a very genuine man.

Well, sh...

I often watch urban explorers, abandoned places stuff and tuned in to his channel a few times, too. There were signs. I thought he just knew the right behavior code and talk to brush by those nationalist wannabes and drug militias. Now I know. Shocked.

His recent series where he crossed the Darien Gap was fascinating

Never forget how he got kicked out of Russia and next showed up in Afghanistan! He seems to have no risk-aversion. I'm almost half expecting him to pop up in Gaza next... He's made some excellent insightful videos.

This was my original pick, I've heard there are some pretty serious allegations against him too which I'm in no position to properly evaluate. But I'll keep watching with the benefit of the doubt for now because his videos are very interesting.

Exactly. Couldn't phrased said it better
