Despite what it looks, I've actually learned quite a bit from this.

To give a bit more background, TierZoo is an educational YouTube channel that seeks to teach people about nature and the ways it adapts to deal with its circumstances through using the popular Tier List format. He treats life as though it were a game that everyone is playing, and explains why you may or not want to 'play' as certain animals or plants on the Earth 'server', ranking their 'stats' against each other and discussing their different 'strategies' for surviving and thriving. Effectively, creatures are ranked according to their capabilities of survival and combat. An example video is below, where he ranks turtles in a tier list.

I enjoy his videos to a point - they certainly tap into the love of gaming that this generation has, and use it as a framework to teach about the animal kingdom (with some videos also tapping into plant life). Although if I had to choose between watching this and watching an Attenborough documentary, I'd always choose the latter.
