      +1 for primitive technology. Interesting guy that goes out to some empty land in I think Australia and builds houses and all kinds of stuff with just his hands and tools he makes himself. He is going for forging his own iron knife now, which is insanely impressive.

    • Tasting History: Historical recipes re-created and the history behind them.

    • Accented Cinema: Video essays covering foreign (mainly Asian) films and actors.

    • ComicTropes: History of certain comic book runs, spin-offs, writers, artists, and tropes.

    • Game Sack: Deep dives into classic video game consoles and games.

    • Ordinary Sausage: A guy who makes sausage out of anything and everything.

    Tried to hit multiple interests with this list. There’s so many smaller creators I’d love to recommend, but they all revolve around more specific topics / hobbies / interests.

      Oh god, the sausage one… I was just a little curious. There’s videos making an air sausage and a water sausage (which go about as you’d expect).

        Here are a few of the top of my head…

        Calvin Dyson: In depth reviews on all things James Bond.

        The Backyard Scientist: Crazy guy in FL doing crazy science experiments.

        Doctor Wolfula: Horror related channel that harkens back to the days of horror movie hosts.

        Comic Book Corner 2.0: Casual video centered around comic book collecting.

        Minnime: Reviews / retrospectives of more obscure games.

        Scarfulhu: Reviews / retrospectives of mainly point and click adventure games.

        Jim Browning: Exposes all sorts of tech support scams. Unlike other scam channels (Scammer Payback, Kitboga, Trilogy Media, etc), Jim is more focused more on educating rather than comedic scam baiting.

        Puppet Nerd: If you ever wanted to learn how to make a puppet or get into puppetry, this is the go-to channel. The creator (Adam) was diagnosed with brain cancer last year, but he’s doing much better now and starting to put more videos out again.

      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

      • @[email protected]
        1•2 years ago

        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.

        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.

          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.

    kurzgesagt - Science & Education - I personally love their videos of nuclear technology and their videos such as “What if we nuked the moon?”

  • AwwTopsy
    2•2 years ago

    I can’t believe no one has mentioned Aging Wheels and Under Dunn, both by Robert Dunn.

    The first is Robert’s channel about his crazy car collection and the work he does on them. The second is his woodworking channel. His sense of humor and video editing skills are amazing and he seems like a really nice guy all around.

    • @[email protected]

      They’re great, watching their skits makes you feel warm and fuzzy inside, and some good laughs.

    Echoing some other suggestions surely, but here are a few that I regularly come back to:

    GAMING:

    • CallMeKevin (really funny, wholesome Irish guy known for playing games kinda hilariously incorrectly )

    • GameGrumps (two best friends playing games and riffing. Usually very funny and wildly inappropriate. Feels like gaming with high school buddies)

    • Outside Xbox/Outside Xtra (small team of British friends with lots of quirky, easily digestible “7 things” lists over the years)

    • Dungeon Dudes (pretty broad and approachable dives into all things D&D)

    • Smooth McGroove (older channel with many delightful a cappella renditions of video game songs)

    COOKING:

    • Babish Culinary Universe (super approachable, funny, and well-edited cooking tutorials with fun themes and lots of room to be wrong)

    • How to Cook That (Ann Reardon is a super knowledgeable, friendly, crazy talented baker, and she does a lot of good work to address and debunk dangerous & stupid trends on social media)

    • Joshua Weissman (similar vibes to Babish, but a little more overtly comedic. Does great recreations of fast food classics)

    SCIENCE & TECH:

    • Technology Connections (deep dives that make mundane things in our lives seem super fascinating)

    • OzTalksHw (very wholesome, budget-friendly PC builds with an emphasis on self care.)

    • ZeFrank (excellent, accurate, and very funny short nature documentaries)

    • NetworkChuck (friendly, well-edited tutorials on lots of IT-related things)

    ENTERTAINMENT AND OTHER/MISC:

    • Kitboga (fairly wholesome considering the content area. He exposes and confronts phone scammers with hilarious made up character voices and fake websites & accounts, and he teaches people what to look out for in the process. Lots of swearing and shouting from scammers that he regularly pisses off by wasting their time and getting their accounts closed)

    • Watcher (Ryan and Shane do a lot of different interesting things, and their banter and chemistry are infinitely watchable. Puppet History is a particular favorite)

    • Digging the Greats (really cool deep dives into the makings, origins, and fun facts about all things hip hop)
