His videos are most similar to the YouTubers Oversimplified, Sam O’Nella, and Simple History. His videos are shorter than those of other history YouTubers and are around 2-5 minutes long. He is a pretty new YouTuber and only started making videos in 2020. He is from the D.C area. Before he started making videos he ran a geography blog, and briefly had a podcast about the history and geography of islands. 
Over the past few months he has become part of the countryball community on Instagram. Many of his subscribers come from the country ball community. He is also an active member on other educational YouTubers' Reddit pages, and much of JL's audience comes from reddit as well.
