-<h2>Specialist</h2>
+<h2>Purpose-Filling Media</h2>
+
+<p>This section is a little different because they're not really "favourites" in the same high sense as everything above, but they serve a purpose and I like them.</p>
+
+<h3>Passive Listening</h3>
+
+<p>If I'm looking for something easy-listening while multi-tasking, I like putting these videos on speaker.</p>
+
+<p>They're not "favourites" of mine because they're rambly exploratory videos that are usually belief-affirming, but they still talk about casually interesting topics, offer perspective, and have a bit of research put into them. Listening to them doesn't require quite as much attention as something like <em>Rational Reminder podcast</em> (which is very academic and informationally dense, thus requiring much more attention).</p>
+
+<p>That's not to say these creators/channels aren't good though. They simply don't fit my taste like others do, but I still regularly listen to them. For what they are, they're quality listening.</p>

+<h3>Product Reviews</h3>
+
+<p>These are the sources I've come to rely on for purchasing decisions for their high-quality product analysis and methodology, consistency, and sometimes big backlogs of reviewed products. These sources look into the things that matter to me as a consumer, and they make it very easy to compare. Though unlike channels such as <em>Gamers Nexus</em>, I don't watch or read from these creators regularly. They're single-purpose channels to me that I binge whenever it's relevant, and then I forget about them until the next time I need them.</p>
 
-<p>YouTube channels and websites in this category are sources of some niche and sometimes hard-to-find information. They all deserve a massive shoutout for the valuable work they do.</p>
+<p>Again, it's not a knock on these creators. They put out the best work for their niches and we need more creators like them.</p>
