Forgot we federated
You could add Summoning Salt to this list. I’m not really otherwise interested in world record attempts, but something about his narration is so good.
Another fun addition could be Oversimplified.
If you like Summoning Salt, I highly recommend OneShortEye.

This didn’t tickle my fancy, but I can see why the videos are popular.

Linus Tech Tips (and its other channels) - LMG has been making some very good changes since their first response to their recent controversies. If they actually deliver with them, then all of these channels should be good to watch. Mac Address should be fine to watch as it has been stated that the channel and group affiliated are kept somewhat separated from the rest of LMG for various reasons.

There’s more that I could # recommend, but I couldn’t figure out how to describe them.
Big IndieMaus fan. Good rec. August is Metroidvania month, time to get hyped!
Max0rs Ace Combat videos are gold!
How you gonna have education section and forget Tom Scott, Veritasium, and especially Vsauce
or gaming and forget the OG angry video game nerd
Never really watched him much since I was more into minecraft content when I was younger, but I’ll take another look at the channel.
I like Vsauce, but YouTube just never recommends his videos to me. Same with all the others except for Veritasium. I just haven’t seen enough of their content and schedule.
Gamers Nexus and The Linux Experiment kinda rubbed me the wrong way in a way that I’m not sure how to describe, so i personally couldn’t get into those when I tried BUT I can vouch that they are both popular and Gamers Nexus in particular is well endeared by the PC/Gaming community
That’s understandable. When I first saw The Linux Experiment, he felt almost like a 3D render rather than a real human being. Gamers Nexus can get pretty passive aggressive.

kurzgesagt - Science & Education - I personally love their videos of nuclear technology and their videos such as “What if we nuked the moon?”
BobbyBroccoli
Dude makes hour long (or longer) videos / (videoseries) about scientific topics, such as “America’s missing supercollider” or “Man who tried to fake an element”. And they are all done really well.
If you’re interested in computer architecture/embedded systems, you gotta watch Ben Eater videos. His series of building a 6502 computer really helped computer architecture click for me.
Love this guy. Keep hinting that someone should buy my the kit for my birthday, but no luck yet. (There will come a point when I’ll just treat myself…)

Styropyro - if Bill Nye, Doc Brown and FPS Russia had a baby and it made youtube videos
I don’t know these were posted or not but here is my suggestions which every youtube watching person probably already heard about most of them:
Not Just Bikes: Channel about Urban Planing-Living and how destructive the cars are.
History Matters: Short animated videos about historical events, narrated with humor.
my mechanics: Best and most detailed restorations ever.
NileRed - NileBlue: All about experimenting with chemical reactions.
Oversimplified: Like the name, oversimplified narrations of historical events but in a long form with animated depictions and humor of course.
Stefan Milo: Really informative research videos of archeology.
The Linux Experiment: Like the name suggests it’s all about Linux.
Bad Lip Reading: It’s in the name.
ChrisFix: Best car repair channel out there.
DIY Perks: DIY videos but heavy on the entertainment side rather than the doable diys.
Ethan Chlebowski: Trying to understand cooking from the perspective of homecooks.
Alex (the French Guy Cooking): Reverse engineering the recipes.
Brick Experiment Channel: Building Lego machines.
These all are high quality channels imo. There are a lot more but I am kinda lazy for now.
This is a csv file of really high quality channels that you can directly use in Piped: Proton Drive Link to csv file
Even though I kinda like “Not Just Bikes” it feels a bit too much of a pro Netherlands propaganda channel for me.
In comparison a “Honest guide” just feels more honest.
Also I have to add “Brick Technology” since it’s the “Brick Experiment Channel” but more.
Yeah I’ve been subscribed to both of them too but like I said I felt lazy to write all of them. Also Honest Guide’s content range is broader and video styles are different. But Brick Technology is also good.
NJB is really pro Netherlands but I am kinda okay with that because I really didn’t consume any media before that are pro Netherlands so it has a place to join with the pro America, UK and France media I guess.
+1 for NJB.
My Mechanics is really great!
Hang on why are you spying on me? This is essentially all I watch!
Really? We essentially have a same taste then. I am curious do you have any other suggestions for me?
I like this ASMR channel: https://youtube.com/@InvolvingAmbience

Moon Channel, a lawyer who dives into some of the legal topics surrounding the gaming industry, most of them Nintendo related. Really well researched information about emulation legality, modding, even copyright infringement Nintendo themselves committed in the 90’s (in the Mother 3 video), all sorts of stuff.
He also has a few other things, like a REALLY LONG video on JRPGs, or commentary on MMOs.
