Bad_oatmeal,

Grimbeard.

He does game reviews mostly. Dude is funny and puts a visible effort into his work quality.

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.

KpntAutismus,

i also love crinacle for the occasional review of audio gear i will never buy.

and also all of the collabs he’s doing so i can recommend decent IEMs to people.

aquinteros,

also in woodworking mokongtv123 has so much amazing builds , worth checking out

Tja,

Something more for my “watch later” list, thanks!

ObsidianZed, (edited )

No Steve Mould? Definitely up there imo.

Edit: nvm I see him up there! I overlooked it the first glance.

Tja,

Steve Mould is one of the best ones, definitely. Top 10 of all, you always learn something and spend a very nice 10 minutes doing it.

@Dark_Arc@social.packetloss.gg avatar

Dang! Thanks for the detailed list, this had to take a while! Definitely going to look through it when I get a chance!

Tja,

I took it as an opportunity to do some Christmas cleaning of my subscription list as well :)

Aqarius,

Does lazerpig still claim mathilda 2s were immune to flak 88s?

NoMoreCocaine,

Not really commenting beyond the fact that you have a separate category for Russia/Ukraine and have lazerpig on it? I think he did like three maybe four videos on it. Max. And you didn’t even mention Perun…

Tja, (edited )

You’re right, big omission of Perun, I was going mostly from memory… Fixed now!

@viking@infosec.pub avatar

Half of the channel you mention here were listed in the thread about youtubers who went to shit, which triggered this one here…

Tja, (edited )

If by half you mean 4 (edit: 7), I addressed those in a separate comment, and I stand by them.

Guntrigger,

It’s funny because I read through that other thread about creators going downhill and (while I don’t know most in either thread) you mention a couple of them here.

Tja, (edited )

Interesting, I just checked it out, and it seemed people really idealize “the good old days” plus they go absolutely crazy the second a youtuber wants to earn some money doing what they do.

Here’s what I think of the individual channels that I saw mentioned:

  • LTT had a big controversy after the Gamers Nexus video and it looks like they corrected. MKBHD was never super deep, he does reviews after a week or two of using a phone. You never get a full picture with just one review, if you are interested in spending your money watch a few, otherwise it’s just entertainment. I like LTTs server/Linus’ home series and MKBHD for the visuals.
  • Mark Rober had a few bad videos a year ago and now has a product that he sells, that fits perfectly with his theme “learning engineering by building stuff”. But his videos were never always perfect, people just remember the good ones.
  • The Primeagen reacting to stuff is the very reason I watch him (actually mostly listen while doing other stuff). He reads articles about programming/It stuff and comments about them. Yeah, sometimes he’s not an expert on the topic, but it’s still informative and very often he admits it from the beginning.
  • The lock picking lawyer picks locks. I don’t know what people expect him to do, there’s only so much variety. The 100th video about picking locks is not going to be so thrilling as the first one you watched… And again, him trying to monetize by creating products related to his hobby and selling them doesn’t seem like a capital sin to me.
  • Edit, because I forgot about Veritasium and Kurzgesagt: I completely disagree. Veritasium has gotten better with time and the last year has been awesome. The “Epic Math Duel” (somewhat older than a year, but the channel is 10 years old, so relatively recent), “Franz Haber” or “Sawing Machines” are excellent videos. Kurzgesagt is completely transparent about their funding and cite all sources, if some people feel a video about using stars as fuel for intergalactic travel or about Dyson spheres is “capitalist propaganda”, that is their right to an opinion I guess. If anything I would criticize for being a bit “too dreamy/science fiction”, but the visuals are great and it’s a great watch nonetheless.

Rex Krueger, Stumpy Nubs, Jonathan Katz-Moses , Bourbon Moth Woodworking for woodworking.

AlphaPhoenix, Applied Science for science.

Strange Loop Conference, and many such other for programming.

Tja,

Noted, will check them out over the holidays, thanks!

dog_, (edited )

Ltt is debatable now tbh.

Edit: if you aren’t aware of the situation that happened, here’s a video from Gamers Nexus www.youtube.com/watch?v=FGW3TPytTjc

KpntAutismus,

meh. their content is at the same level it was before, they just look over the specs twice before uploading now.

UsernameIsTooLon,

They’ve more or less addressed this issue. Their videos are like double checked now and you can kinda tell.

dog_,

But that’s not the only problem. They also sold that prototype for that one company, and I don’t think that company got their prototype back.

UsernameIsTooLon,

Yea that’s gone and they admitted to fault and reimbursed them to the best of their abilities. Sometimes in life you fuck up and you just gotta own up to it and that there’s no fixing it.

As a consequence, they’ll most likely never work together again and LTT knows they lost a company. It also hurts LTTs reputation in the long run too.

Tja,

I think they corrected, they don’t upload strictly one video per day anymore. I’m hope the working conditions / stress for the staff improved. They content produced is still pretty entertaining.

For factual info about a purchase I would trust GamersNexus, tho. And their content about cars sucks, Alex is a terrible car reviewer.

dog_,

Perhaps, but like I just said in a precious comment, they “sold” a company’s best prototype and I don’t think that company ever got it back. I was a long term fan and sub of the LMG team, but after this whole kerfuffle, I unsubbed from them and I don’t regret it.

TheGalacticVoid,

As far as I’m aware, they got in contact with the company and settled things.

Tja,

Fair

Sebastian lague and acerola are some other programming channels I like

Tja,

I just checked Sebastian Lague. Last video is more than an hour and about chess bots, so two hobbies in one, awesome, thanks!

I will check acerola later, but seems very focused on graphics, not my biggest interest :)

Xanvial,

Viva La Dirt League, their skits are still good as a decade ago

Figureinplastic,

The Why Files

Disco_Dougie,

Red Letter Media. Movies with Mikey, but he’s starting to focus more on Nebula. Internet Historian, but his videos come out like twice a year.

delitomatoes,

Ooh I have bad news about internet historian buddy

Disco_Dougie,

Ah shit, what?

  • 3balsue1brown
  • Kathy Loves Physics & History. I like that she stays in her lane and hasn’t deviated from electricity and history.
  • freecodecamp, each video is a course that’s several hours long.
Nefara,

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

@gilokee@lemmy.world avatar

hell yeah Climate Town! eagle noises

Olhonestjim,

Clickspring makes some of the most beautiful, soothing, detail obsessed machining videos imaginable. Dude builds complex gear works from scratch, including a replica of the Antikythera mechanism which is still in progress after many years, though nearly finished now.

theherk,

Hell yes. The blueing is so satisfying every single time. And such precision.

raldone01, (edited )

3blue1brown

Makes great visual math videos. Without him I would have never studied electronics.

theherk,

Also wrote open source software to generate those fantastic visualizations. It has been forked and is maintained, and it has therefore influenced the whole genre positively.

On the topic, Brady Haran’s channels are also putting out great educational content.

LastYearsPumpkin, (edited )

Damn, I was going to post this list, you beat me to it though.

I love that whole maths group, Brady Haran, Matt Parker, Hannah Fry, James Grimes, Ben Sparks, Ayliean MacDonald… (and so many more.)

As soon as I get a notification that a new Numberphile video drops, I’m watching it ASAP.

The Dungeon Dudes are always solid if you want DnD content. Even their episodes where you wouldn’t expect great talking points they somehow pull it off.
