Currently I'm watching the Pro Volleyball Federation games since they just launched so they're streaming everything for free. That's probably a bit genre specific since I still play vb and have daughters playing club vb.

I watch the 24 hours of lemons stuff because I intend to race in it someday and there's some pretty funny stuff.

I recently found The Why Files which is a combination of (thankfully non-political) conspiracy theory and little known facts.

I've been watching savagegeese for car reviews. Donut media for somewhat random car stuff. Project farm for all sorts of product testing.

Edit: Oh and of course, you can never go wrong with Epic Rap Battles of History

Now that's not something that's came up on the most popular videos. But looks like something I would be interested in.

Could you give me one video recommendation from each channel please?

Reminds me of this if you havent seen them:

I watch all sorts of urbex and abandoned exploration videos. The Proper People are great.

Rust to running videos about restoration of old cars and heavy machinery. vice Grip Garage is great, that guys a hoot.

Lately I've been into the guy's channel who bought the old Cerro Gordo mine and had been doing cool videos where he explores the old mines like 900 feet underground.

I've been into Heavy D Sparks rescue and recovery videos too.

If you asked me a few years ago, I would have not even said I'm interested in any of these, but with the flood of useless "creator" content, I think they're pretty interesting.

Videos on urbanism and transit, video essays, tutorials, and music videos. I watch more YouTube than any other streaming service.

I have a Dropout subscription and enjoy most of their stuff, most of all GameChanger. I also follow a German science channel, Kurzgesagt and Last Week Tonight. Then there's two smaller channels, my mechanics for crazy detailed restaurations from a crazy Swiss guy and Cinemastixx who highlights some nice movies and movie makers.

Synthesizer news and reviews, Dark Souls streams (Lobosjr is the only streamer I can tolerate), 80s and 90s music videos, cute cat videos, Rush covers, gadget teardowns, soldering videos.

Edit: Almost forgot robot sumo.

I find myself guilty of watching YouTube Shorts. Besides that, plenty of movie scenes because I can't bother to watch a 2 hour long movie any longer. A lot of my saved videos are of things I want to learn. Lately about gesture drawing and watercolor painting. Then I skip through those videos and frequently increase playback to 1.25-1.5 speed.

Progressive media, Primitive Technology(with subtitles), Glen and friends cooking, Lockpocking Lawyer.

Edit: for comedy, Jeff Arcuri is fantastic at crowd work.

Mostly train cab rides - train drivers filming their trips from the cab and publishing them.

Most popular account is probably RailCowGirl, a Norwegian train driver who has absolutely stunning videos.

This thread has some great ones, and quite a few of the folks I'd consider the best. But I haven't seen anyone mention Stuff Made Here! What gives?

Joel Haver movies, he's making one a month this year and the two so far have been brilliant especially this most recent one. Really talented creator with a real passion for movies, he's made a lot of really impressive low budget films all free to watch on YouTube with midroll ads turned off. His films are normally a fantastic blend of funny and emotional, great writing and he works with a lot of fantastic actors most of who are successful creators in the own right.
