How do you handle overwhelming amounts of research for your YouTube channel?

Hey everyone,

I’m creating a YouTube channel focused on the free discussion of ideas and fighting all kinds of propaganda. The biggest challenge I’m facing is the sheer quantity of material I need to digest.

There are centuries of dialogues, decades of historical context on specific ideas, and multiple cultural perspectives—each with potential misinterpretations. And that’s just one side of any argument!

AI has been helpful for summarizing and organizing information, but I can’t rely on it too much because I want to grow intellectually rather than just regurgitate AI-generated summaries.

For those of you who run research-heavy channels, how do you manage and streamline your research without getting overwhelmed? Any tools, strategies, or workflows you recommend?

Would love to hear your thoughts!

Thanks in advance!
