    It depends. There are a few youtube videos that are very high quality and interesting, if you know how to identify them. Finding the good ones can be difficult, however.
    Most news sources are either very low quality, just regurgitated from other big trending news stories and opinions, or are biased.
    Public-funded news sources often tend to be good quality, but may have lower budgets so are often not able to do their own independent investigation, which kind of leaves you in the dark over issues that might actually matter. These public-funded news sources usually have lots of inherent bias, due to the type of people running them, but at least are not intentionally and dishonestly biased like many mainstream news sources.
    Some publications like the Atlantic and Jacobin are very intellectual, but of course are openly biased to side of the progressive Left.

    I could argue "there are almost no intelligent posts" when it comes to online discussion in political forum sites.

    I guess the question can be asked, what sort of political topics are you specifically interested in?
    Or are you referring to all topics and news with political relevance?

    I love political and atheist forums to criticize my views and education, but I was kicked out everywhere, and this one remained a few, and then, you discriminate against me

    It probably has to do with your posting style and the way you write. The way you write gives the impression that you are too lazy to spend any effort thinking about what goes into your writing and posts. Often your posts don't really seem to contribute much. They're just trying to start a discussion. And if people responding to your posts put as much effort into their answers as you put into your first posts, then the discussions would not contribute anything or be worthwhile.

    The way you write often almost seems like a cheap artificial intelligence algorithm Chatbot.
    For example, your line "therefore, you can live 2 years longer, scientists say", what does that have to do with the subject?

    If you wanna live longer, then its prolly whichever one you can use while exercising. Sitting is the new smoking.

    Have you tried books on tape?

    In general, I'd prefer to read an article rather than watch a video. Some videos aren't bad, but any video telling me to subscribe or that has some goofy narrator or little video insert of the "digital creator" or "influencer" talking to me I simply cannot stand having to watch.

    That said, sometimes the video is better, especially if you're looking for how-to's. Those have helped me with various things around the house so I'll tolerate them when I have to.
