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?
EthosLab - most authentic Minecraft YouTuber around. No trash clickbait, cringeworthy attempts to appeal to children, ad spam, etc. Just a dude chilling out and playing Minecraft.
Battle(non)sense - Tests various input lag reduction tech + strategies. Input Lag: Low DPI vs High DPI - turns out increasing your DPI can significantly reduce input lag! AMD AntiLag+ vs Nvidia Reflex - turns out not only does AMD’s solution trigger anti-cheat, but it also offen increases system latency.
ColinFurze - builds crazy stuff and does an amazing job of it! Currently building an underground garage at his house that connects to his underground tunnel system.
Applied Science - In depth videos about random science-y things this dude finds interesting. No clickbait, just an excited dude talking about a project he tried.
Atomic Frontier - A lot like Tom Scott. He’s also a rare case where the video is more interesting than the title/thumbnail. Generally focused on science-y topics + has shockingly high production value considering the dude seems to be an overworked college student.
NileRed/NileBlue - Crazy in depth chemistry videos. Personally find NileBlue more entertaining as he tends to explore things he’s not that great at.
Thanks for the list, I’m sure others will appreciate it!
I’m actually subscribed to almost all of those channels lmao. I skipped several because I’m being picky, and I mean picky. You probably won’t agree with a lot of my decisions. Here’s what I mean…
I did a thing - forgot about him I’ll add him to the list
Micheal Reeves - Last real video was a year ago
Backyard scientist - Unsubscribed a while ago due to clickbait. From a quick glance his videos seem fine now though.
Mark Rober - Video quality has been going downhill. More and more clickbait, and videos seem to spend a lot more time than necessary on "look at our happy family fun time we’re having."
William Osman - I like him just not enough to put him on the list
1 more dude I skipped but I’ll put here - Stuff Made Here - Insanely skilled engineer who seems to be able to make just about anything. Skipped because his thumbnails are horribly clickbaity.
+1. I love this guy because he’s not just another one of those new urbanism YouTubers complaining that every American doesn’t have 10 trains showing up at their house every minute and anyone that disagrees is mentally compromised (see: “car brain”). He instead focuses on feasible, practical, incremental solutions to our problems over shouting about the “kill all cars with fire immediately” solutions.
I didn’t post him because I figured the audience on Lemmy would eat me alive for saying all that.
I did not any research about it yet, but it’s recommended by “Firefox”… and we all now how worse this recommendations are sometimes. I would like to you if you guys knows anything abt it....
I’ve found it actually makes it easier for advertisers to track me - I tried turning it off briefly, expecting completely random, useless ads, but instead saw disturbingly relevant ads, which basically reflected a profile of the sites I visited regularly, for example, ads for products sold by random obscure sites I visit regularly. Not only that, but the ads followed me across sites.
Not entirely sure why that was but my guess is that by simply allowing ads to load, you’re letting ad providers like Facebook/Google collect far more identifying information to improve their confidence that you’ve visited a given site, vs by not loading them all they know is their tracking/ad script was requested. Similarly, by clicking an ad you’re now also visiting an advertiser’s site, loading even more tracking.
For AdNauseum to achieve it’s stated purpose, it would also need to visit random sites to pollute ad providers’ profiles on you.
Which YouTuber still creates high-quality videos to this day?
