Kind of tired watching trash from YT.
Edit: Thanks for all the replies. It’s good to see that there are still gems in YouTube.
A few I haven’t seen mentioned yet:

there’s a community for that, https://lemmy.world/c/youtubepitch
Hi there! Looks like you linked to a Lemmy community using a URL instead of its name, which doesn’t work well for people on different instances. Try fixing it like this: [email protected]
I follow some Canadian van dwellers. I like Foresty Forest best. He just goes around Canada and sometimes the USA climbing mountains with his dog, and living in his van.
His videos are chill.
Here lately I’ve been watching Camping With Steve. He’s a really likeable Canadian guy who does all sorts of camping videos, and a lot of them are stealth camping, where he camps in some pretty crazy places in all sorts of imaginative and inexpensive ways. I’ve always liked to daydream about camping out in various wooded areas that I would see while driving by them in the car, and this guy actually goes and does it. Along highway on-ramps, in the middle of a round-about, behind billboards, in the wooded lot behind a police station… you name it. I’m too old and comfortable to go do something like that now, so it’s fun living vicariously through him.
OrdinarySausage has great videos. I try to watch them as soon as they are released
https://www.youtube.com/@MrBallen/videos
MrBallen is a guy who retells storys in a very compelling way. Stories of murder-cases, odd occurences, sinister events, etc.
This channel is really worth listening/watching (and also binging). I discovered his channel two years ago and follow it ever since. The videos length unsually varies between 15 to 30 minutes. Although the video’s thumbnails and titles appear like it is clickbait, each video is well-made and worth a watch! Almost every Sunday a new video is uploaded.
The Tim Traveller is very good.
Technology Connections is a fun one, Alec explains all sorts of everyday gadgets, and sometimes some old gadgets.
Watch Wes Work follows an auto/truck/tractor mechanic up north, he does a great job of explaining the why and how of his diagnostics.
The History Guy is another one of my favorites, especially his episode on transistors.

Tom Scott would be my top pick for quality YouTube not tied to a specific hobby. His videos are great.
Besides his educational content, he also has some pretty good (still somewhat educational) game show type series, like Citation Needed and Two Of These People Are Lying (links to the playlists).
Also runs a podcast game show called Lateral which is pretty fun to listen to. Last I checked only highlights were uploaded to YouTube, and full episodes are on typical podcast services
Lateral is excellent
I really wish Two Of These People Are Lying would make a comback
Ben Eater. He’s been explaining the low level details of how computers work. Literally building a functioning computer from nothing but a cpu and a breadboard. Incredibly good explanations.
In the same vein, check out CuriousMarc, especially the series about restoring an Apollo Guidance Computer to working order. (They actually finish up by simulating a moon landing.)
And for those who have watched all Ben Eater’s videos, I highly recommend James Sharman’s 8 Bit CPU from scratch playlist. I’ts a bit less step-by-step-tutorial, but it covers more ground than Ben.
I mean, he also built a functioning CPU on breadboards.
One of my favorite video series on youtube
I learned more from that guy than I did from the “intro to computer engineering” class I took for my CS degree.
I started in the industry doing 6502 assembly language programming and I’m still learning a ton from him!
“The Infographics Show” kind of my favorite.
Also recently seen video “Tourism in Afganistan” recorded less than year ago. Interesting content I would say.
Philips fast talking makes me anxious lmao, idk why

This a the millionth comment but I found this CRIMINALLY UNDERRATED channel that fills me with glee.
Down From The Attic
Reviews old nostalgic board games and has the most lovely persona. No clickbaity over-hype YouTube persona BS. He’s absolutely wonderful.
