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?
Andrew has had some low level videos, destroying cars or lawnmowers that go against his normal content that I recall weren’t well received. Otherwise, his stuff is very good and whenever a new video pops up I’ll reach for some cold beers and enjoy.
I know there are several similar channels so maybe I’m mixed up, but wasn’t this the one where they found out the guy was using machinery to create his projects off camera and claiming it was all done by hand?
The most popular fake primitive building channels are obviously fake if you have even a little bit of critical thinking. They usually pretend to build some preposterously sized waterparks and other complex structures that are obviously above the scale of two guys with hand tools.
Nope. This guy is the real deal. Nothing he does is large scale or unbelievable. If you turn on captions he walks you through what his thought process is/what he is doing. Very enjoyable.
Kinda late to the party here but I’ll share a couple of my favorites:
Melodysheep - video essays about science and science fiction with absurdly high quality animations and production value
Mustard - same as above, except about interesting and/or unusual real vehicles
Casually Explained - just a dude with a great sense of humor and crude artwork explaining random things to you
Sam O’Nella Academy - same as above, except covering very specific and much weirder topics
Biblaridion - his usual content is about conlangs (don’t ask, I don’t know either) but his ongoing Alien Biospheres series about speculative evolution is simply amazing
TierZoo - highly entertaining videos about animals and zoology, except it’s all a videogame
LowSpecGamer - as the name implies, he used to make videos about making AAA games run on potato systems but has since pivoted into making (great) mini docs about the history of videogames and technology
Cyriak - he doesn’t post often but the dude has been making the same kind of technically impressive and often disturbing animations for over 15 years now
They go through the Star Wars movies from a book lore perspective, point out flaws in the writing and lore-breaking, and offer suggestions on how the sequels could have been handled differently. They did The Last Jedi, and I really enjoyed it. They also have some cool videos on podracing, ships, and guns.
Really solid drawing tutorials that aren’t very complicated, takes the time to break down high-level concepts into simple exercises. Overall a really fun channel to watch, even if you’re not into drawing.
Newgrounds-era animator with amazing compositing techniques and a very unique animation style where he inserts himself into his videos as a very animated caricature of himself.
A storm chaser who is Reed Timmer’s ying to his yang. Very chill, documentary-quality footage featuring himself playing guitar and talking about the beauty and power of nature. You’ve probably seen his footage on the Weather Channel!
Great deep dives into random technology, old and new. The video on the popcorn button on microwaves is really good (I think that may be on his second channel?)
Dunkey. Mind you, he just had a kid so I think he’s put out some lower (but not phoned in) effort videos in the last couple of months, but his comedic voice and the banal way he mocks games and gamers has always been consistent.
Transport Evolved (they are also on Peertube), RM Transit, Gamers Nexus, Climate Town, Not Just Bikes, JayzTwoCents, Techtesters, The Linux Experiment (also on Peertube), LowSpecGamer
Kind of skipped bronze, since there aren’t ready sources of copper and tin on his property. But yes his experiments with iron processing have been interesting. Pretty incredible what can be managed with such simple tools.
