He really is a diamond in a sea of shitty YouTube channels.

Technology Connections is another top tier channel without enough recognition.

Yes. I love that guy. He's on Mastodon too, which is super cool for the fediverse.

He's also on lemmy

I might have to get mastodon then

I don't know about not enough recognition, there's plenty of awesome channels with only 1K subscribers. He has 2M subscribers and 1M views per 30 min+ video about random old appliances. That amount of recognition is impressive.

I love technology connections too though.

TC's videos are kinda too long for my taste tho (tom scott length is ideal)

There are so many fucking good ones. It's less of a sea and more if an entire galaxy at this point, and there's whole planets to explore.

Totally agree. YouTube is a place I can watch someone tinker with some 30 year old CAD software on 30 year old hardware for an hour, and somehow there’s 100k other weirdos enjoying the same content.

God I wish discovery features were better. There’s so much great stuff out there but it’s so hard to find it.

How can you not enjoy watching someone get that excited over finding ancient drivers that work for his ancient WinTab pointing device?
