Kind of tired watching trash from YT.

Edit: Thanks for all the replies. It's good to see that there are still gems in YouTube.

I really enjoy Yesterworld and Expedition Theme Park.

I'm basically copying most of my subscription list here:

  • Chef James Makinson - a chef who has done more calm reaction videos recently but has recipes on his channel as well
  • Dark5 - one of those channels that produces videos on 5 things about many different stuff (mostly on dark subjects)
  • Brew - scaring people from everyday stuff, one video at a time
  • Mentour Pilot - commercial pilot giving insights to accidents and incidents as well as other aviation-related content
  • 74 Gear - another commercial pilot but has more lighthearted aviation content
  • TheFlightChannel - recreations of flight accidents and incidents with text explanations
  • PBS Eons - interesting channel on the evolution of life on Earth through the eons
  • HONEST GUIDE - channel that offers honest advice on Prague, Czech Republic
  • Mustard - high-quality documentary videos on some technologies, they don't post regularly but the wait is worth the content
  • Langfocus - a language enthusiast talking about languages and simplifying them as an intro
  • Jelle's Marble Runs - marble racing, the world's sport

I think that should be good enough...

History Matters is absolutely hilarious if you like world history and British humor.

Quality is realllllly subjective. What are your interests?

Neil Halloran! They produce the highest quality documentary-like videos on YT. And I bet you never heard of them! Please do give him a search

Advoko Makes is my favourite. Russian guy building stuff in the woods. Posts new videos rarely but the quality is top notch

I've really enjoyed Strange Parts (Also Stranger Parts for longer format) over the years. He's been through a lot and the videos show some of that. But I think he's doing alright again now and has interesting things frequently.

I also really enjoy Simone Giertz, she's an excellent follow, also has gone through a lot (brain tumor for one) over the years but is still enjoyable.

Adam Savage Tested - It's Adam Savage from mythbusters etc, but doing his own thing and being a geek about it. I really enjoy his personal content. I greatly dislike Mythbusters and most forms of TV media.

ProjectFarm - Independent testing of all kinds of things. If you need to know how tools compare to each other without worrying about sponsor money, Todd is excellent. His methods aren't perfect, but they are good enough for what he is trying to do and for understanding somewhat practically how the various things compare.

If you are ok with a little more spasticity, Colin Furze is always up to a cheeky bit of fun.

Zach Freedman - Prototyping and 3d printing but make it fun and full of puns and sarcasm and a dash of nonsense

Mr Carlson's Lab - If you like electronics and very long format, chat while working style content. This is a great one.

DownieLive - Has good travel videos, especially liked his Alaska series, the canal series was neat and he has multiple unique train ones that are interesting.

I've started to check out Alice Cappelle after watching a good video on the counter points to the 15-minute city.

Music

Lauren Babic - Metal singer, does lots of covers, has her own stuff too, but I enjoy her stuff a lot. She's my favorite singer along with Courtney LaPlante.

Ichika Nito - Lots of really chill, intricate, technical guitar, I wish he'd do more long format stuff but he's fun to listen to. Similar playing to Covet and Polyphia but generally solo and easier going.

Self-sufficient me is nice and relaxing

check channelcrawler dot com, but the main thing about any social media is you get on look at what you went there for in the first place and get off never scroll and watch recommended videos best case scenario you lose 2 hours scrolling or get mk ultra'd into buying door dash every night
