NeverKnowsBestFor very in depth game essays. He has a 2:44:46 in depth look into the history of MMO’s. 2:03:15 Elder Scrolls analysis. And he has an absolutely comforting voice that sweeps you along so easily that you don’t even feel the time pass.

MortismalHe reviews games after he 100% them, makes guides, game lore, builds. His favorite genre is tactical rpg’s but he’ll to do others of people ask him to. The man is a consummate professional, and work horse. Puts out a video 5 days a week. He went from foster care, to being homeless to making a living doing what he loves. Used to put up posters offering to make game guides for money when he was a kid.

Lex FridmanHe did long form interviews of really brilliant people. Novel prize winning scientists, mathematicians, biologists, philosophers, politicians, tech moguls, artists. The list goes on. He’s not funny, but he is refreshingly sincere in his wanting to try and understand the topics, people, and life. He’s a Russian-American computer scientist and research scientist at the MIT Laboratory for Information and Decision Systems.I don’t always agree with him, but I love getting to listen to the people he interviews.

Quinn’s IdeasA wonderful fan of sci-fi that reviews and explore the worlds of great sci-fi novels, turning over the abstract concepts inside those universes. He has an extensive playlist on the world of Dune, Lovecraft, authors I’ve never heard of, and he also covers other nerdy things too. He has a wonderful voice that brings you down into the world he’s describing. You can tell her really gets into the books he reads, the more mysterious or awe inducing the better.

Wes RothI recently found this guy. He reports on current news on AI. He does a great job at explaining things you would be too afraid to ask about for fear of sounding stupid. He’s not an AI expert he’s just discovering AI advancements with you, for you. Calm, nothing flashy, and curious to see where this is headed. If you wish you had time to look up and read about what’s new in AI, this is your guy.

The Big Lez ShowAn all knowing multidimensional immortal Aussie Sasquatch doing a bunch of drugs, also some humans and some aliens.

The Royal InstituteLike TED talks but in Great Britain, much longer, more in depth and very scientific. The intended audience are scientists, but some talks are just too fascinating to miss out on.

Luetin09Warhammer 40k everything. Really great lore videos that are darkly beautiful to watch. He is a veritable font of WH40K knowledge.

dslyecxiIt’s like watching a team of military professionals conduct missions in ARMA 3, and with all of the hilarious fuckery that ensues. ARMA 3 is a realistic military sim, nothing like the arcadey Call of Duty or Modern Warfare. Really great footage.

Edit: Mr Sunday MoviesMovies, comic, and TV shows, shooting up your butthole. They’re Australian, but they make up for it.

If you are into watches then I would say Watchbox reviews is the best. Tim Mosso there is the best host I’ve come across in the watch space.

bushpilot,

FortNine. It’s a motorcycle channel, but even if you don’t care about motorcycles it’s a great watch. Top production values and great storytelling.

Example: why Harley Davidson is dying: youtu.be/EOwxxsPaogY?si=XHHZc_P1hAiRIhp2

macaroni1556,

Crazy thing is it’s just the advertising channel for a local moto gear retailer but man ryanf9 and the crew put their souls into it.

Nastybutler,

Mostly motorcycle related, but they’ve been branching out lately like the Gore Tex video:

Here’s some of my own, in no particular order:

Gotham Chess - also known for his catchphrase: “Sacrifices… THE ROOK!!!”. Yeah, that guy.

Kyle Hill is a science communicator and makes awesome educational content; he also debunks conspiracy theories.

Jeff Geerling is a RasPi aficionado who’s made tons of projects.

Louis Rossmann specializes in consumer tech (mostly computers); he’s a great critic of corporations and DRM.

Jenna Moreci is a published fantasy writer and has great videos on what to do and not to do when writing fiction.

One Topic at a Time - shares LGBTQ memes found on reddit. His voice may sound annoying. (What can I say? It’s an acquired taste)

Bits inside by René Rebe specializes in Linux and Open Source stuff.

Noralities is a girl who makes video essays about anime, and they’re not trivial opinions They involve writing, stereotypes, romance, society, and stuff. She’s done her homework.

EDIT: Added details.

theherk,

Love Geerling and Rossmann, but I simply don’t understand the appeal of Levy; he is so over the top. Not that I would downvote this though, he is just not my style, and there are many good chess channels since the boom. Chessbrah, Anna Cramping, Hikaru, Banzea, and Hanging Pawns all come to mind.

Anna’s content, especially with parents GM Cramling and GM Bellón López is so fun and wholesome.

🐮

It’s a matter of taste. I like his humor, but I do understand he’s not for everybody. Yeah, Anna Cramling is one of my favs, too.

I second Second Wind. The quality they’ve been putting out so far is surreal

NikkiDimes,

To boil down Kyle Hill as simply debunking conspiracy theories is so sad… He’s a science communicator and makes awesome educational content. Occasionally, he debunks a conspiracy or two.

TicklePickle,

His video about the SL-1 meltdown was the first I saw of him. Incredible video and definitely not worthy of being called just a conspiracy debunker.

@Excrubulent@slrpnk.net avatar

Funnily enough I just got done with his video about the “nukes aren’t real” conspiracy theory. Of course that’s just one in his long Half Life Histories series which is mainly about the science and not conspiracies at all.

yuki2501,
@yuki2501@lemmy.world avatar

Fixed, thanks for the heads up.

NikkiDimes,

Thanks!

Highly recommend anyone interested in approachable nuclear science adjacent entertainment or science entertainment in general to check him out.

Raiderkev,

Lol, I used to hang out with Jenna way back in HS. I knew she was writing books, didn’t know she had a YouTube channel and/or was successful at it. That’s cool to hear.

AlexWIWA,

Robbaz on the rare yearly upload

Bobby Fingers. Drunk Mel Gibson has quickly become a classic amongst my friends.

youtube.com/

Probably one of the most creative and talented makers I have ever had the pleasure of coming across. Every single thing he’s done has been fucking hilarious to boot.

@viking@infosec.pub avatar

He did only like 5 videos in total or something though. The Jeff Bezos boat is bloody hilarious as well. This guy is absolutely unhinged.

mriormro, (edited )
@mriormro@lemmy.world avatar

It’s 5 videos but if you know anything about fabrication and making or just have an appreciation for that kind of craft then you can recognize just how much fucking work, time, and money he puts into each video. He’s also a part of an intensely creative duo known as the Rubberbandits.

Looks like there’s some I can add:

We’re In Hell Funny videos about reality shows that devolve into leftist madness, they’re amazing

Blue Jay If Sam o Nella was a bird

Mr. Beat Ex history teacher and amazingly awkward dude, quite good at explaining US political stuff.

Second Wind Yahtzee Croshaw (ZP) and Cold Take, as well as a bunch of other ex escapist people and it rules.

The Vile Eye The series “analysing evil” is a pretty good dive into fictions baddies

The Stupendium Performs and writes songs based on pop culture, and is great at what he does

munecat cute British girl pours Beer really badly funny music lady debunks/discusses political shit

knowing better long form history content from an ex history teacher. Most recently had been doing the insane religious movements behind Kellogg’s and whatnot

b2 studios videos about AI being trained in Unreal Engine, like teaching an ai to bowl or play ping pong. Also funny AF

your movie sucks movie reviews. Dude knows his shit and is pretty funny

Oh god why is my subs list so long and there are still so many to list and I’m too tired and high after work rn maybe I’ll edit this later

GeneralCricket,

Awesome list thank you!

gamermanh,
@gamermanh@lemmy.dbzer0.com avatar

I tried to go with people on my sub list that hadn’t been mentioned yet as well as the smaller ones to help boost em

Might just add a screenshot list to the post but it’d be long (and also have people on there I know I’ll get judged for cuz I’ve forgotten they’re even there by now lol)

Kuroshio,

Well my holidays are sorted

Mr. Beat Ex history teacher and amazingly awkward dude, quite good at explaining US political stuff.

Sean Munger is another history teacher worth recommending, and he happens to mention Mr. Beat as well.

aquinteros,

GoodTimesWithScar … if you enjoy Minecraft content the dude is a beast, so talented ! and also funny and entertaining

DuckOverload,

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.

Dope,

Second this, I love a good Harry Mack vid, never disappoints.

Surprised no one mentioned LGR/Lazy Game Reviews

Salad_Fries,

Here are a few that I find have consistent high quality content:

The B1M… His videos seem to really get into the nitty gritty logistics of various large construction projects.

Caitlin Doughty (Ask a Mortician)… I feel like each video is better than the previous. The historical death documentaries are incredible.

Climate Town… Videos about climate change & has a really fun sense of humor.

Neo… Lots of really cool explanatory videos. The editing is really good as well! The recent video on the presidential motorcade was very cool.

And one more… Reckless Ben… IDK if it really fits within the prompt of this thread… The channel is tough to watch with all the annoying humor & there is a lot of hit-or-miss videos, but at least lately, it seems to really be doing some very interesting things. I enjoyed his series on mckamey manor.

ThatGirlKylie,

Except ask a mortician is surrounded in massive controversy right now and has been proven to be giving out false information.

Salad_Fries,

Oh interesting… what is the controversy/false advice?

KpntAutismus, (edited )

i’ve always been a fan of yes theory.

and a similar one called anton is here.

lars,

Kitboga’s my touchstone

thru_dangers_untold, (edited )

I’ll add GeoWizard to all the good answers already. He has some great adventure videos. He composes all of the music as well.

Oh, and anything by Brady Haran: Objectivity, Numberphile, Sixty Symbols, Periodic Videos, etc.
