Ethan Chlebowski does phenomenal cooking videos and deep dives into the science of food, specifically if some expensive ingredients are objectively worth the cost.

Fascinating Horror does unique videos in that they are discussions on all man-made or natural disasters. Great audio and video as well.

H0ser does fantastic videos on countries and economics with some humor, and cute animals to represent countires.

Horses does brilliant essays on a variety of topics, all of which are interesting and researched very well.

Nick Crowley does creepy, scary, and true crime like a lot of others, but puts a lot of effort into his editing and aesthetic.

Nexpo is largely the same as Nick Crowley, but with deeper dives and longer videos.

Professor Leonard has the best calculus series on YouTube.

Would like to throw in Atomic Frontier, he makes on-location video essays about random science and engineering topics that are edited with great supporting infographics

Zorcron,

Alpha Pheonix is a great channel with some really good electricity videos recently.

breakingcups,

Sovietwomble has been consistently obsessed with the quality of his videos. He also consistently makes me laugh.

Fall of Civilizations, though those are podcasts first. All of them are amazing.

Lockpicking Lawyer makes the best short videos. Not “yt shorts”, it’s just that it takes him 2-5 seconds to pick open the vast majority of locks, the rest of the video is his comment on the lock quality.

JoshStrifeHayes has 3 separate channels now, but that main channel that deals with MMOs still makes quality content in my opinion, but not as often. I also enjoy him playing the old games on JoshStrifePlays.

DepressedCoconut,

I did a thing is fun.

In no particular order:

  • Mind of Watercolor - Steve Mitchell
  • Paul Clark
  • Escape to Rural France
  • Mark Rober
  • SloMo Guys
  • Bear Essentials
  • Primitive Technology
  • Adventure Archives

There’s also a fair amount of surprisingly good fan films in various franchises.

I like longer form videos, and humor of “the old Internet” so here’s some channels that still make long videos that aren’t filled zoomer click bait. In no particular order. This is from memory, I’m too lazy to make these into links. Also I’m sure there are others I can’t think of.

Our own devices

  • This channel stands out because it’s relatively new but it feels like a channel that should have millions of subs. Long videos about retro tech and tech history

Forgotten weapons

  • history of firearms. Longer format videos.

LGR

  • retro computers and old PC games

Gman lives

  • great gaming channel that reminds me of the era of TotalBiscuit. Good long videos about new and old videos games.

RedletterMedia

  • this channel is the Midwestern TopGear of B movie reviews.

GamersNexus

  • best source of PC tech news

Level1Techs

  • best source of general tech news and has a lot of PC gaming and tinkering content.

RegularCarReviews

  • funny car reviews. Format hasn’t changed in over 10 years.

Second wind

  • new channel. The crew that made all good videos on escapist (zero punctuation) left and made their own channel to keep doing the same thing.
psion1369,

Knowing Better Dude does amazing deep dives into topics that’s we should know more about that explain things that are a bit controversial.

ScaredDuck,

ashens is still making that quality brown sofa content 17 years later.
