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?
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
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?)
Lockpicking Lawyer makes the best short videos. Not “yt shorts”, it’s just that it takes him 2-5 seconds to pick open the vast majority of locks, the rest of the video is his comment on the lock quality.
JoshStrifeHayes has 3 separate channels now, but that main channel that deals with MMOs still makes quality content in my opinion, but not as often. I also enjoy him playing the old games on JoshStrifePlays.
I like longer form videos, and humor of “the old Internet” so here’s some channels that still make long videos that aren’t filled zoomer click bait. In no particular order. This is from memory, I’m too lazy to make these into links. Also I’m sure there are others I can’t think of.
Our own devices
This channel stands out because it’s relatively new but it feels like a channel that should have millions of subs. Long videos about retro tech and tech history
Forgotten weapons
history of firearms. Longer format videos.
LGR
retro computers and old PC games
Gman lives
great gaming channel that reminds me of the era of TotalBiscuit. Good long videos about new and old videos games.
RedletterMedia
this channel is the Midwestern TopGear of B movie reviews.
GamersNexus
best source of PC tech news
Level1Techs
best source of general tech news and has a lot of PC gaming and tinkering content.
RegularCarReviews
funny car reviews. Format hasn’t changed in over 10 years.
Second wind
new channel. The crew that made all good videos on escapist (zero punctuation) left and made their own channel to keep doing the same thing.
Seems like he’s been doing his thing for the entire existence of the internet. Silly little flash animations and games in the early 2000’s and now his ‘true facts’ of animals videos. Seems to keep true to his own style, ever evolving as it may be, but always similar- and maybe thats what I find comforting- he’s been there for most of the 20+ years I’ve been ‘surfin the web’, as the kids like to say.
This was my answer! I watched a couple old videos last night actually and then watched some new ones. He’s gotten better in my opinion. What you said is right. It’s in the same style but now it’s more polished.
