I think this thread is the first one to get my save button.

On topic, if you're into gardening (or just wanna watch something different) check out Hoocho. A guy building hydroponic systems and growing stuff. Great channel. Also no weed if that's the first thing that comes to mind from hydroponics.

RedLetterMedia - movie and bad movie "reviews"

• https://www.youtube.com/@TheTimTraveller - Utterly charming and funny travel videos
• https://www.youtube.com/@AtomicShrimp - Incredibly wholesome nerdyness in a multitude of forms
• https://www.youtube.com/@anderspuck - Insightful and considered observations about the war in Ukraine
• https://www.youtube.com/@TheCriticalDrinker - Unashamedly non-PC reviews and observations on film and TV

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.

I was going to suggest the older "All Gas No Brakes" or "Channel 5 with Andrew Callaghan" but looks like there's been some controversy around him and no more videos since then.

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.

Breaking Taps

The Thought Emporium

Technology Connections

The first two are people doing things at home that shouldn't be possible without a uni lab.

Connections does really thorough deep dives into every day tech we use.

Mental Outlaw

So these people are my go too:

Tech: MrWhosTheBoss LTT Sam Baker Andrew Ethan zeng Joe knows best(amazing but hardly uploads now)

Cars Donut Misha charoudin Auto Alex Matt Armstrong Chris slix

Video games Wildcat Black panthaa Game riot Cartoonz Grizzy Smi77y

Other random things: Thoughty2 History matters Shxtsngigs Manny khoshbin Drivetribe Gameranx Lemmino

Vlogbrothers has been a favourite for many years. They do so much good! And do lots of silly stuff too, like making a series of videos with titles taken from smash mouth’s rockstar 😀

Thanks guys this is awesome!

Veritasium

Wristwatch Revival. I have never and will never own or repair an expensive non digital watch, but it's great content. Marshall is easy to listen to and it's actually very interesting.

• Alt Shift X

• Plainly Difficult

I like echarts ladder lots of starwars content.

Also obsidian ant, game reviews etc

This is pretty niche, but if you've watched Summoning Salt and are looking for something similar, check out OneShortEye:

https://www.youtube.com/@OneShortEye

He does something similar for the world of speedrunning old LucasArts/Sierra adventure games. Highly recommended!

Most of mine have already been mentioned, but here are a few I didn't see:

• Songs by Spencer A guy named Spencer makes songs. Relatively new channel, but the production quality is top notch. I think his day job is owner of a video production company.

• Cheap Audio Man Reviews relatively cheap audio gear. Cheap is a pretty wide range in the audio world.

• Awesome Open Source Talks about open source software. Usually runs through how to install and basic usage/features.

• Chris Titus Tech Tech channel. Mostly Windows and Linux.

• Techno Tim Mostly homelab related stuff

• 66Samus Drum stuff

• Nicole van der Hoeven Obsidian.md / Personal Knowledge Management

• Rachel Maksy Cosplay / crafty stuff

• How to ADHD ADHD stuff

• Coffeezilla Covers scams, grifters, etc.

• James Hoffmann All things coffee

• The Kiffness Makes songs out of random internet clips of animals. Or remixes other people singing. My kids love this channel.

Dankpods

Astonished to see a thread about YouTube and not see any mention of Dankpods. I sub to two patreons, and Wade's is one of them. It's because of him that I have an ever-growing collection of iPods.

jim browning (tech support scams).

Hacks into scammers' systems while they're scamming him and exposes them. Gives you a so satisfying sense of justice. And it's overall interesting to see how he's working, and educational too.

glassslinger - million year old guy in a dress fabricates vacuum tubes and repairs radios. steve1989mreinfo - guy eats old mres crimepaysbutbotanydoesnt - gonzo nature walks uscsb - your tax dollars at work

fern is a relatively new channel covering various themes – like why french McDonalds is so much better or how a few german companies profited from Hitler and never took responsibility – in extremly high quality. Its a cooperation of two established dutch and a german channels. Really worth checking out.

Pop Culture Detective - probably my favourite out of the millions of video-essay makers

Bad Obsession Motorsport - Project Binky

my fav car build on youtube

also My Mechanics, crazy good restoration projects

I haven't seen the fall of civilizations channel being mentioned, so here you go.

Grand Illusions. A nice old man gently shows you all the cool stuff he's collected. It's fantastic calm and soothing entertainment.
