Seeing the other post here about YouTuber that went downhill and seeing content creators I am familiar with makes me sad. But how about those that still makes great, high quality content?

CAPTAIN DISILLUSION

Gaming

Makers

...more in Honytawk's comment below

Science + Technology

  • Applied Science - In depth videos about random science-y things this dude finds interesting. No clickbait, just an excited dude talking about a project he tried.

  • Atomic Frontier - A lot like Tom Scott. He's also a rare case where the video is more interesting than the title/thumbnail. Generally focused on science-y topics + has shockingly high production value considering the dude seems to be an overworked college student.

  • NileRed/NileBlue - Crazy in depth chemistry videos. Personally find NileBlue more entertaining as he tends to explore things he's not that great at.

  • Practical Engineering - Explanations of various civil engineering concepts.

Your makers can be padded out a bit more.

  • I did a thing - dry humor Australian who walks barefoot and wears an apron.

  • Michael Reeves - chaotic coding goblin that makes robots

  • TheBackyardScientist - Floridaman using his backyard to explode stuff

  • Mark Rober - Nasa engineer explaining science to kids with great editing

  • William Osman - Collaboration expert, you will see him in all the other channels mentioned above.

Thanks for the list, I'm sure others will appreciate it!

I'm actually subscribed to almost all of those channels lmao. I skipped several because I'm being picky, and I mean picky. You probably won't agree with a lot of my decisions. Here's what I mean...

  • I did a thing - forgot about him I'll add him to the list
  • Micheal Reeves - Last real video was a year ago
  • Backyard scientist - Unsubscribed a while ago due to clickbait. From a quick glance his videos seem fine now though.
  • Mark Rober - Video quality has been going downhill. More and more clickbait, and videos seem to spend a lot more time than necessary on "look at our happy family fun time we're having."
  • William Osman - I like him just not enough to put him on the list

I agree. There are not many YouTubers making and people enjoying the absolute tiny niche content I enjoy.

With your high standards you may like Huygens Optics an old optics engineer who does videos about light simply because he enjoys making them. But the content is niche.

He's a big Fediverse guy, too. Very active on Mastodon.

[–] DharmaCurious@startrek.website 1 points 11 months ago

Absolutely love him.

[–] Glitchington@lemmy.world 1 points 11 months ago (2 children)

One of the most informative channels I've ever watched. I recommend his dishwasher video, because everybody is doing it wrong.

[–] SkippingRelax@lemmy.world 1 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Been on reddit for over a decade, never heard of this channel. On lemmy since a few weeks, I keep reading about him and his dishwasher video at least twice a week.

And yes, I've watched it a couple of weeks ago, it is good. I'll have to watch some of his other videos sometimes

[–] refoux@lemmy.world 1 points 11 months ago

His one about basic style rice makers is fantastic

[–] ArtificialLink@lemmy.ca 1 points 11 months ago

Always knew those pods sucked for more money. He did convert me to the powder tho

Colin Furze takes oil money.

Too many to name. I'm easily on YouTube 2+ hours each day and there's not exactly lack of quality content

[–] Stitch0815@feddit.de 0 points 11 months ago

Thats true but sometimes its hard to spot gold when it is burried under a sea of shit

[–] Allan8795@lemmy.world 0 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago) (1 children)

MrMobile(Michael Fisher) - His video presentation skills 10/10, I specially love his series named when phones were fun, where he fondly talks about yesteryear phones and gadgets.

Harald Baldr - I may not go to all the places he goes, but the way he interacts with different people irrespective of the barrier of communication is commendable. The way he presents himself in his videos, I believe that's him in real life as well. No fakery.

From someone who loved watching his buddy BaldAndBankrupt's videos...oof I got some stuff for you to read and make up your own mind:

~Internet Historian~, Mustard, Real Engineering, Wendover Productions, Gigguk (for anime), The Squidd

Edit: Didn’t know about plagiarism problem Internet Historian got into

[–] Aya@lemmy.world 0 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Weird including Internet Historian after the Hbomberguy video. Wouldn't care so much but I found Historian's statement on it pretty gross. Doesn't seem to take the plagerism very seriously.

[–] Duke_Nukem_1990@feddit.de 0 points 11 months ago

Statement by IH? Could you link that maybe?

[–] EuroNutellaMan@lemmy.world 0 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago) (1 children)

Climate Town, Adam Something, Not Just Bikes, Contra Points, Hbomberguy, World War Two, The Great War, The Linux Experiment, CivDiv, The Thought Emporium, and there are some others that currently escape my mind.

I also have GioPizzi and Yotobi but their videos are in Italian.

[–] Duke_Nukem_1990@feddit.de 0 points 11 months ago

PhilosophyTube fits quite well into your list :)
