Which YouTuber still creates high-quality videos to this day?
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?
Harry Mack. Greatest off-top freestyler ever (except maybe Juice WRLD, but that’s apples and oranges). Folks are sad about the end of Omegle Bars, but I’ve always thought Wordplay Wednesdays is his best format.
“Well hello there friends!” Chef Jean Pierre makes me so incredibly happy every time I put one of his videos on. His delivery, humorous self-awareness, and sheer passion for cooking never fail to put me in a good mood. Highly recommended!
If I can add to this list because you listed most people I would mention.
Calum (videos about interesting topics and crazy one off machines, giant land trains, Antarctic exploring vehicles etc).
Blondie Hacks (machining but focused on how to do everything and how to learn machining mostly with limited tooling, she is currently building a live stream model loco).
Aging Wheels (videos about quirky old cars and related projects).
Dudes have been making awesome automotive content since 2007. And Moogs sound tracks that he creates for the episodes (and especially the feature length stuff) is incredible.
Don’t think they’ve had a single moment of boring content in 16 odd years, let alone anything objectively bad. Absolute units the pair of them.
A bunch of my other subs have already been mentioned, so I want to add Caitlin from Ask a Mortician. She has demonstrated integrity and consistently high effort for her channel despite growing to over 2mil subscribers.
Jenny Nicholson is another that’s been around and gotten big but her videos have only gotten more weird and interesting.
Climate Town has rapidly become one of my favorite channels and consistently puts out well-researched, informative and entertaining vids
He never had a phase where all of his videos were 10:00 for the algorithm, he never jumps on topical shit for clicks, he just talks about genuinely interesting shit, and has gotten to do so on a higher and higher budget.
He has diversified, and has other channels that interface with other YouTubers in gameshow and stuff. But it’s all still legit content.
And a deep cut from 9 years ago. Same kind of content. Slightly lower quality but… Guys been doing this kind of “hey I think this is neat let me tell you about it” for a decade, without becoming a dingbat.
Video icon has giant red text saying “NOBODY SURVIVES”. Open with Tom Scott standing at a gate to the Chernobyl exclusion zone
“Today I’m here to talk to you about something dark, something that has produced so much pain, something that decays life itself. Me standing in Chernobyl actually has nothing to do with it, because pulls up a laptop showing a game I’m referring to League of Legends”
Stumpt. Despite having 540k subs, they aren’t one of the super high energy balls to the walls energy where every 5 seconds they zoom in on a small part of the video. They usually have a much more calm energy about them and one thing I really like is how they aren’t telling you to like and subscribe every few minutes, let alone at all in their videos usually.
Practical Engineering - in depth presentations of civil engineering feats, concepts, problems, solutions
Joe Scott - just simple, entertaining discussions of interesting topics
Philosophy Tube - longer format, intensely well-cited presentations on philosophy related to current events (with theatrical costumes!)
Ryan Hall - who knew that a weather forecast could be so fun? Regularly updated weather forecasts for the entire United States with detailed coverage and livestreams of events like tornado outbreaks, hurricanes, and large snowstorms. With charity drives to provide supplies to people on the ground
PBS Spacetime, PBS Eons, all the PBS channels really
Plainly Difficult - consistent quality, often hilarious presentations of various disasters. I particularly like his entire series on radiological accidents, often involving lost radioactive sources that random members of the public stumble onto, which is terrifying.
