I feel like Markiplier keeps improving, over time his videos have cut out a lot if padding and fluff that was the standard in old school let’s plays, but it’s not a smash cut fest like some newer youtubers are.

He also is diversifying his mediums, like the movie that he’s currently making (not a “youtuber movie”, an actual movie adapted off the game Iron Lung).

The only real controversy of his that I can think of was when he stood up for PewDiePie when he said the n-word. Mainly because they were friends. With how many years he’s been going I’m surprised there’s not more.

Interesting. I thought that since that happened they no longer in touch

Wirlocke,

I don’t know if they are in touch or not, but I just remember an impassioned video of Mark shaming the growing hate group on Pewds around that incident. He talked like a stern father.

I don’t know what their status was after that, maybe he quietly cut ties after the Nazi suit or the Fiver incident, that would be the wise thing.

Primative Technology. A dude out in the bush building houses and tools out of mud, sticks, and rocks without speaking a word.

CmdrShepard,

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?

He is legit.

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.

brenstar,

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.

@Deceptichum@kbin.social avatar

Nah, this is the guy that basically spawned the entire “genre”. He’s legit as can get.

Xariphon,

I'm a fan of him.

Do you watch How To Make Everything?

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

ArtificialLink,

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

SkippingRelax,

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,

His one about basic style rice makers is fantastic

Chuggaconroy has been around forever yet he's only gotten better with time, despite only doing let's plays.

There's a lot of great channels though, it depends what you're looking for.

Smarter Every Day

Mark Rober

toasteecup,

I love Rober but his most recent video kinda irked me with the double science camp commercial, hopeful that’s an accident and not intentional.

flames5123,

Veritasium is in the same vein.

Scrolling through my subscribes, here are some of the ones mostly widely interesting I figure. In no particular order:

Civvie11- Retro gaming enthusiast.

Beware The Qu- Lots of speculative evolution content.

Big red 40TECH- Battletech lore guy.

BobbyBroccoli- Long videos about science scandals.

Mandaloregaming- Long form game reviews.

Seth Skorkowsky- Videos about TTRPG reviews and how to run TTRPGs.

Warlockracy- Russian video game reviewer with a bent to older games and weird Russian obscure mods.

Forgotten Weapons- Man on a life’s quest to collect French ammunition.

Red Letter Media- Movie reviews and such.

Wargamer Fritz- Battletech tabletop tactics.

ReligionForBreakfast- Scholar who talks about religious history topics.

The Tank Museum- Tanks.

The Chieftain- Tanks.

Paper Skies- Channel on strange aviation stories, focus on Soviet military aviation.

Quinn’s Ideas- Scifi review channel. Huge Dune nerd.

Olden Demon- Oldhammer channel. Talks about 2e and retells old 2e official battle reports.

oboeshoesgames- Like Dunkey but still funny.

Minisodes- Plays Oldhammer 2e in modern day and paints retro minis.

Grim Beard- Goth that reviews usually more obscure games.

Billiam- Watches and reviews a lot of trash TV.

Ancient Americas- History channel about ancient American (north, central, and south) history.

I’m subscribed to a lot of painting, DIY, instructional, and such channels which I find good but are very niche.

ABasilPlant,

Huge +1 for BobbyBroccoli. Most entertaining & gripping documentaries I’ve watched in a long time. The two part Cloning documentary (Part 1, Part 2) was absolutely spectacular.

Lemmino is great as well.

theywilleatthestars,

hbomberguy

Rai,

I JUST recently found out about his Donkey Kong 64 Nightmare stream and just how much fucking money he raised for charity by torturing himself for 58 hours.

He’s an angel.

CGP Grey

TheOneCurly,

fireweed,

Game Makers Toolkit (GMTK)

Fake4000, (edited )

A few comes to mind.

Ordinary Things is great and Michael Fisher is good and usually doesn’t hype stuff up.

proctonaut,

I still get excited when I see a notification for Applied Science after several years. Breaking Taps doesn’t miss, either. They both do really interesting stuff.

gregorum,
