Know any documentaries involving abandoned places?

Do you mean urban exploration? Those are not documentaries so much as sightseeing. There are several decent channels I'm familiar with, but they usually don't have much information about the places they're exploring.

Nicky F will obviously replace Ruby and will write some of the most intriguing alternate histories police

"What if 'dem Kiwi Farmers got owned and Joshua Connor Moon was lynched?"
"What if it was actually straight to be into Catboys"
"What if Ali Alexander did nothing wrong?"

Here's a nice video on the officer composition of the Napoleonic war:
The plurality were the second sons of small holders and the sons of doctors and vicars. With most of the balance of being the sons of previous officers.

Where did the idea that "racism was invented in the 15th century" came from?

I kinda noticed that too, but Sam also threw shade at Barack "Black Jesus" Obama with the whole "using his dog named after his VP's son to distract people from drone strikes", which is something no mainstream breadtuber would do (throw jabs at Republicans, sure, but throwing criticism at Obama is a bridge to far for those people). In any case, it felt way more uncomfortably spicy than usual -- maybe he's preparing for next year?

God I'm SO excited for 2024 and how the media and YouTube will go all-out... /sneed

Sam O'Nella released a new video. I think he's going the breadtube way as well.

That would make the fact that his disappearance was a great example of the free market providing in the face of demand very ironic.
People liked his conent so much that a dozen clones popped up between his uploads, giving people what they liked.

Huh. I figured the line was age of sail skull caliper guys would have invented it. Found a ten minute video on it from Fredda, I'll check. Five minutes in and we get the absolute banger that a doctor may ask your social racial heritage because some social classes may have cultural conditions that may lead to different health problems. Few people talk about the colonizers stripping Africa of healthy sickle cells. And the personal favorite argument of 'racism doesn't exist in the Bible', which clearly the guy has never read and is referencing Galatians 3, neither 'Jew nor Greek'. Because instruction that race doesn't matter compared to faith after the Resurrection is proof race didn't exist somehow.

Whatever, his source is a 2018 book by a stock character, 'Medievalist who hates Europeans', Chinese lady type. Claim is Europe didn't have a concept of themselves until the First Crusade (which was evil) and by 'othering' the Muslim world set the frame work for 'Modern Racism', which is the super bad one. Europeans then imported this super bad racism to the world and replaced the wacky harmless racism of the natives. (If there was any.)

So that particular argument is along the lines of 'chattel slavery', 'settler colonialism' and others in that it's an arbitrary distinction to explain why it was bad when Whites did it but fine for everyone else. I'm going to guess the evidence is going to be the White Man's Tricknology of keeping records better than everyone else.

Just for kicks I checked the sources on some other breatubers about the invention of racism. With some outliers it's stuff from the late 90s at the earliest. Except for one from 75, which is a Russian Jew attacking the concept of race and nationalism in Europe lest Hitler return from Agartha.

tl;dr: Chinese lady with an infeiorty complex.
tl;dr;tl: Jews

So Trey the Explainer did a bizarre but harmless face reveal video for his 1 million subscriber celebration:

Trey is a JoJo character? He did change his profile picture:

At least he isn't a furry/scaly? No evidence of him becoming a VTuber (yet) but this feels like Fredrik "You like kissing boys" Knudsen's story all over again.

His face does match with his voice but should we take his long hair as a sign?

I swear to god every time I read one of those books they have another randomly invented time where Europeans started thinking of themselves as whitey and started being evil. The idea of crusaders having any new sense of overarching white European identity will be laughable to anyone who knows about the politics of the crusades. If crusaders from different areas of Europe were getting along it was entirely due to the pretty understandable belief that an important Christian empire was under attack, and the crusaders still found time to fuck with the Byzantines despite that. And the "othering" that was done towards saracens was not only not new (as the European view on the Muslims hanging out in the Iberian penninsula should attest to) but also very obviously not the first time that religions have hated each other, even when it comes to Europe vs the Middle East (the idea of "feminine" and "weak" eastern religions that was prominent from Alexander into the Roman Empire should attest to that). These historians have had a bone to pick with the crusades for ages because of online deus vult memes and it strips the entire period of complexity in the same way those memes do by somehow claiming it was the beginning of great European evil.
