Inspired by this post but the other way around. Which channels (any subject) do you think have stayed true to their beginnings and are still worth watching today?

My pick would be Gamers Nexus.

FortNine: both the content and the video quality are top notch.
TechnologyConnections is the only channel where you'll waste an hour nerding out on washing machines, even if you don't own one.
Louis Rossmann has been instrumental in the fight for right to repair in the US.

Yeah i could list many more but you asked for one (and i already overran that), plus these are the ones that stand out to me.

+1 for technology connections. Who knew I could watch 3 hours about dishwashers and stay interested?

[–] nagaram@startrek.website 10 points 1 day ago

Rossman does good work but I wouldn't call his videos "High Quality"

He's like Gamers Nexus, very rambly and angry. If you like that vibe and just want a techy "Grinds my gears" ass rant channel to put on while you do anything else, he's fine.

I just find Lewis Rossman to be an incredibly irritating person. I appreciate what he's doing but at a personal level I can't stand him. He's just very whiny.

[–] lepinkainen@lemmy.world 10 points 1 day ago (2 children)

Rossmann fights the good fight, but his two hour rambles could be a blog post instead

He also dramatizes for clicks.

you're not supposed to watch it on 0.25x speed

Fortnine made a famous video about how motorcycle armor was a waste of time and front to back, the entire video is wrong and the comments from ER MDs back that up. Fuck Ryan.

fortnine noticeably dropped off in quality when they lost the original editor and moved out west.... early videos are still gems tho!

I did notice Aneesh is missing, didn't know it was due to moving.
