I find most channels will degrade once the creator makes Youtube their full-time job. Afterwards, it's all about selling products, donations, sponsors, and memberships.
Survival Lilly and SirSic and two channels that come to mind.
On the flip side a channel I recommend is "low buck garage". Within the last year or so (I don't remember, time flies) he mentioned being able to do YouTube full time and now we get longer videos more often. No ads, or shilling yet and he doesn't seem like that type as the channel name implies, he tries to fix stuff for cheap. Extremely smart dude who thinks outside the box in every video. All his videos are great and I always learn something new from them.
Auto repair isn't my thing but it's good to know there are still quality channels out there. Thanks.
He did or used to have a Don't Tread On Me flag, but his dad and then himself are such hoarders it's hard to know if he even remembers it's up there. I've never heard a political take from him ever, nor does he give off that vibe so I watch him still.
Survival Lilly also seemed to have a switch a long time ago where she sexualized the channel, leaning heavily on being scantily clad to attract attention. Then the APO-1 knife came into play, sponsorships, etc..
I looked at her channel. Judging from the thumbnails it seems to be a lot of politics and "the sky is falling" content. She used to be about bushcraft.
science channels remain consistent though, although i suspect most of them do it as a part time thing and its relavent to thier fields.
