Any good YouTube recommendations?
I’ve added my favorite YouTube channels in the comments below. (Feel free to check them out!) But, my preferences aside, what YouTube channel(s) do you want more people to see?

tipicaldik, My favorite channel would have to be Destination Adventure with Dustin Porter. Why this guy doesn’t have 10,000,000 subscribers is beyond me. Not only does he go to some amazing places, but he’s a really gifted videographer. Everything about them is top-notch, and he does it all by himself. The amount of B-roll stuff he gets must be a tremendous amount of work. He picks great music too…

anon6789, Cooking:
Anti-Chef: Jamie tries to cook from cookbooks if the greatest, but he’s not a chef or anything, and you see all his mistakes, such as his recent deboning of a chicken, where he mistakenly de-meated it as well and had to venture out for a new chicken. It isn’t bits, just a guy that wants to cook but isn’t always so good about following directions, but he learns skiing the way.
Food Wishes: Chef John was a chef, and he makes a wide variety of things in easy to understand ways. He’s got lots of catch phrases and such, but he’s old so they’re endearing instead of obnoxious. His speech pattern can be somewhat off-putting to some, but I got used to it, and he’s just trying to be upbeat.
Tool Reviews:
Project Farm: Putting tools, small outdoor machinery, oils, batteries, bungee cords, etc through the paces to replicate real world use and some materials testing. It’s pretty fun for a review, and shows what tools are good at their price points.
Music:
David Hilowitz Music: I don’t care about his actual music so much, but he makes obscure instruments or repairs broken ones he finds in the trash and ends up with very unique things. He also makes sample libraries from all sorts of things, musical or otherwise, so you can play a version of all his weird stuff.
Cars / General Mayhem:
Garage 54: Some Russian guys with old Soviet cars that do strange Frankenstein experiments with them. Welding 4 engines together, tires made of various objects, all kinds of horrific and entertaining things!
jonesy, A couple of random suggestions:
Summoning Salt - Video essays detailing world record speedrun history across a variety of games. Videos are easy to understand and assume you aren’t intimately familiar with the games in question. m.youtube.com/watch?v=i1AHCaokqhg
RRC Restorations - A Scottish bloke that does really in depth restorations of mostly cars and motorcycles, very relaxing and a joy to watch without any flashy filter. Just a super talented guy doing cool things in his little workshop. m.youtube.com/watch?v=JJSjy4OciLs
Motion in Art - Film essays similar to some of your other favourites that might be of interest.
Art Deco - Analysis, investigation and explanation of art, including the history and context in which paintings were made, themes and motifs, and details that you almost certainly missed when looking at art as a layperson. m.youtube.com/watch?v=m3hM6Qw8Nf4
Fredrik Knudsen - Making the series Down The Rabbithole, which are dives into a variety of topics, including tech and history. m.youtube.com/watch?v=UCgoxQCf5Jg
Lemmino - Video essays on conspiracies and mysteries, all are very interesting and worth watching. m.youtube.com/watch?v=5u7euN1HTuU
KingJalopy, Love down the rabbit hole
YoFrodo, Legal Eagle is great at explaining current events and their Legal implications, he also does reviews on movies or shows to explain how they portray law vs reality.
Ordinary Sausage makes sausage out of everything and generally does cooking experiments in a quick and humorous way
Bobby Fingers is a mix of artisan videos where he expertly hand crafts dioramas (mostly) of events while making funny and interesting comments, but he adds some pizazz and production to the whole thing that makes it very engaging.
them, Bobby fingers came in swinging with high production value from day 1. He doesn’t have many videos but the quality of them is so good.
AnomalousBit, (edited ) Forget YouTube and Google by extension. Imagine if you spend all those hours watching something that improves your mind and capabilities: ocw.mit.edu
Work on yourself, friends.

Aremel, (edited ) If you like video essays and video games, I can suggest The Tarnished Archeologist. He does deep lore dives into FromSoft games (Dark Souls, Elden Ring, etc.) using real world archeological techniques and insights, and draws parallels with real world civilizations.
Even if you aren’t into FromSoft games, his videos are worth it for the real world archeological parallels alone.
balderdash9, That does sound interesting. I’ll check it out
Neato, Hot damn. I think you got all of mine plus tons more. Only one I watch you might like is Oversimplified: animated comedic history.
pineapplelover, Dime store adventures is amazing and very underrated youtube channel
