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.

Yeah I do sort of wonder what the point of his channel is. Every now and then one of his videos will be recommended and I'll watch it, but I've learnt that there is absolutely no point because they're all exactly the same. He always picks every lock within about 4 seconds.

I'm not really interested in knowing which locks I shouldn't buy. I want to know which locks I should.

All the lock picking channels are like that though, I think they feel that if they upload video where they can't get into a lock, that means that in some way they've failed. So they don't do it.

I want to say the general consensus is not to buy locks that places like Wal-Mart or Harbor Freight sells and he seems to have a particular bone to pick with MasterLock because of how often they show up on his channel.

But it's like, you need some level of protection so it would help to know what would protect our valuables from lock-pickers or those that steal your bikes when locked down somewhere.
