    overly sarcastic productions

    They’re a YouTube channel that presents over views of different historical times in a fun way, as well as different chunks of media analysis.

    Good for “I want 30 minutes of learning about some of the historical forces at play in the fall of the Byzantine empire, but I don’t want to learn the intricacies of their tax collection hierarchy” type days.

      This whole post is about WW2 (with a hint of greek mythology) and the acronym isn’t for anything directly involved of any of that but a niche YouTube channel?

      Acronyms need to be taken out back behind the shed and obliterated with a shotgun.

      My angy-ness not withstanding, that sounds like it falls squarely into the first group mentioned in the image.

        I really didn’t read it as being specific to WW2 in the slightest, but just the different types of history enthusiasts.

          Yeah, fair. That’s on me for partially misremembering the post. Forgot there were so many other references.
