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.

"The Infographics Show" kind of my favorite.

Also recently seen video "Tourism in Afganistan" recorded less than year ago. Interesting content I would say.

Legit Street Cars, Primitive Technology, Ghost Town Living, Donut (their older stuff is better than newer), Colin Furze (older stuff also better than new, but newer stuff is bigger, more expensive projects as his channel has grown), Blackmail Studio and Wristwatch Revival. Those are the YT channels I'm constantly watching (along with Critical Role, but excluded due to length of episodes).

Edit: Oh and SpyroPyro does some awesome stuff with Lasers.

I'm basically copying most of my subscription list here:

  • Chef James Makinson - a chef who has done more calm reaction videos recently but has recipes on his channel as well
  • Dark5 - one of those channels that produces videos on 5 things about many different stuff (mostly on dark subjects)
  • Brew - scaring people from everyday stuff, one video at a time
  • Mentour Pilot - commercial pilot giving insights to accidents and incidents as well as other aviation-related content
  • 74 Gear - another commercial pilot but has more lighthearted aviation content
  • TheFlightChannel - recreations of flight accidents and incidents with text explanations
  • PBS Eons - interesting channel on the evolution of life on Earth through the eons
  • HONEST GUIDE - channel that offers honest advice on Prague, Czech Republic
  • Mustard - high-quality documentary videos on some technologies, they don't post regularly but the wait is worth the content
  • Langfocus - a language enthusiast talking about languages and simplifying them as an intro
  • Jelle's Marble Runs - marble racing, the world's sport

I think that should be good enough...

Quality is realllllly subjective. What are your interests?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

Advoko Makes is my favourite. Russian guy building stuff in the woods. Posts new videos rarely but the quality is top notch

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

History Matters is absolutely hilarious if you like world history and British humor.
