    Stuff Made Here - blows my mind with each new video. I can’t even imagine being able to dream up his creations let alone design and create them.

    Technology Connections - you didn’t know you were going to love learning about dishwashers and other appliances, but you are.

    Foureyes Furniture - interesting custom furniture design and build sequences with very good editing and voiceover.

    Marling Baits - Custom fishing lures that vary from lifelike (using real fish skin) to absurd (a lightsaber) to ultra absurd (a block of wood).

    Project Farm - head to head comparisons of common tools or other household projects. Very no nonsense and a ton of information packed in quick.

    Inheritance Machining - a man documenting rediscovering his passion for machining after inheriting his grandfather’s machine shop. Excellent narrative scriptwriting, recurring video elements, buttery smooth voiceover, and oddly satisfying machining footage.

      Not just that but really great comedic writing and delivery. I love the just right amount of sarcasm and pedantry. Not too much to be annoying, just enough to be hilarious.

      If you enjoy a good voiceover, check out Beau Miles and Bobby Fingers. Beau is all about his adventure philosophy and Bobby doesn’t need an introduction. There’s just no way to discribe his videos, highly recommended.

    I like Legal Eagle (lawyer gives some good context for current events especially), Some More News (deep dives into social or political issues), and Plain Bagel (finance). I’m not a big YouTube person but these are literally the only three I’ll go check if they have new content.

      iilluminaughtii causing her own downfall by trying to go after LE was nothing short of spectacular. Her channel’s completely dead now.

      I have been using youtube for many years and have never subscribed to anything. I always think they will just overload my email. But every youtuber asks for it and am still like nah. Is it worth it?

        Subscribing to a YouTube channel doesn’t involve your email, unless they have a newsletter, but that’s voluntary.

        Subbing to a tuber just means their channel is in your “subscriptions” list, and if you enable notifications, you’ll know when they upload.

        I started doing it because at some point many years ago, Youtube started to optimize their recommendation algorithms for maximum viewer retention. This led to more and more clickbait and drawn out videos in recommendations and homepage.

        But on the subscription page, I know there will be a sea of quality videos to choose from, without having to sift through all the junk.

    A lot of the channels I like have already been listed (more than once) by others, so I will just mention my top current favorites and few that haven’t been mentioned.

    • SuperfastMatt -He’s a former Tesla engineer that hobby builds custom vehicles like an offroad Dodge Viper and a land-speed car
    • HyperspacePirate -he’s a guy building his own diy cryocooler while doing all sorts of at-home refrigeration refinement utilizing off the shelf materials.
    • Max Miller -He’s an educational cook that seems to speak to the former Alton Brown crowd.
    • ThisOldTony -He’s a pair of machinist hands 🙌 that shows people the fundamentals of how to work with metal while also being entertaining
    • Extractions&Ire -He’s a mad chemist from the southern hemisphere
    • The Thought Emporium -He’s an amateur mad bio-engineer who among other things is working to create an array of rat neurons that he can teach to play Doom

    Nilered is a mad chemist from the northern hemisphere that also barely makes content anymore so I can’t list him

    I also love most of the content creators that are apart of Nebula.

      Steve is a great guy, super down-to-earth and just pleasant to follow in whatever he is doing.

    Asianometry - “Video essays on business, economics, and history. Sometimes about Asia, but not always.” – One of my fascination is the semiconductor industry and lithography. He tends to produce videos about said topics, and I love it.

    tosh show – A breath of fresh air in the podcast scene IMO. Podcast hosted by Daniel Tosh, who has on non-celebrities (and a few moderate celebs but they are a rarity.) More ordinary people with interesting jobs come on and he talks to them and asks questions about what they do. It’s fun and interesting.

    Fireship - “High-intensity ⚡ code tutorials and tech news to help you ship your app faster.” —I watch his tech news vids, Code Report, often. He does a great job of producing videos that are informative but also humorous with tech memes, related popular memes, and internet humor mixed into the tech news report.

    Undecided with Matt Ferrell - "I explore how sustainable and smart technologies impact our lives. And I try to dive deeper into those topics to provide context.

    Topics like electric vehicles, solar panels, and renewable energy that is meant to transition the world off of fossil fuels. Smart home technology that can make our homes not only more convenient, but safer and more accessible. Wearable technology that can track our health and save lives. Or how technology might be invading and breaking down the walls of our privacy."

    Good Work - “Fake business news.” Dan Toomey and the incredibly serious Good Work Investigative News Team plunge into the dark world of business and finance." --Their team does a great job of finding and applying witty humor to their videos. Think if NPR NewHour had a reporter but was witty, humorous, and covered ‘what the heck is going on news,’ and ‘what do they actually do’ topics and job titles.

    S3 - “The stories of people working to change the world.” – Think high-tech endeavors that are pushing the envelope closer and closer to a Star Trek future.
