Andrew Camerata - building a castle out of shipping containers, amongst other shenanigans, with excellent cinematography.

not fav, but deserving a mention is Sabine Hossenfelder she's certainly weighed in on topics she probably should've stayed out of. But her ability to cut through science/physics bs is pretty high. As with everyone, you have to take and leave certain perspectives they offer.

Vacuum Wars! He tests, reviews, and compares vacuum cleaners. And he's very thorough and scientific. His standard, but not only test is to measure sand by mass, put it in a carpet, run the vacuum in question over it, and weigh the remainder. That gives him a benchmark for all of the. He also does electric mops, carpet cleaners, air filters, robotic vacuums etc. If you are ever in the market for a new vacuum cleaner, check it out!

I'm amazed none of these have been mentioned yet. Here are some of my faves

Explaining stuff that's happening

  • Real Life Lore (I'm almost signing for Nebula because of him, gorgeous map graphics)
  • Cold Fusion
  • Wendover

History stuff

  • Fall of Civilizations - Hands down the best documentary-like content I know of. Takes forever for new stuff to show up (because research), but it's so fucking worth it!
  • Study of Antiquity and the Middle Ages
  • Kings and Generals (the narrator butchers every non-anglo name, it really grinds my gears)
  • Heroes and Legends - The long form, documentary-level videos are amazing. Watch the ones on Gertrude Bell and Voltaire

Gamurrs

  • Basement Brothers - Almost monotone narration, but possibly the only channel in english that plays and shows several details of old Japan exclusive PC games (PC88 and PC98 mostly)
  • Russian Badger - There's a very high chance you've seen some of the memes straight out of his videos. Start with "Heavy flamer heresy" if you've never seen any.

Currently, Roll for Sandwich/Adventures in Aardia and No More Jockeys. Also love me some J. Kenji Lรณpez-Alt, with a bit of Henry's Kitchen for contrast.

Bamabass: rich pnut farmer essentially builds a bass pond but it spirals out of control and now he runs a beautiful wildlife sanctuary

Many channels I watch have already been mentioned, but one comes to mind that hasnโ€™t been: if you like Stuff Made Here and NileRed, youโ€™ll love The Thought Emporium. Dude is a mad scientist, for real. His current long term project is trying to make a neural net that can play DOOMโ€ฆ except he means real neurons. Biological neurons grown in his self built lab, sourced from rats.

A couple that I haven't seen yet: Foolish Baseball for a zillenial take on baseball, Hagerty, Throttle House and savagegeese for quality car YouTube and Scott Manley, BPS Space and Vintage Space for some good rocket science and history, and languagejones and Dr. Geoff Lindsey for linguistics.

Outside of large channels with millions of subs that now only get thousands of views, Stumpt in general for clean fun and HeroVoltsy for their pokemon fangame/rom hack content. Voltsy's how I discovered almost every single pokemon fangame I have ever played.
