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.

Grimbeard, puts out well researched and highly entertaining game retrospectives.

BobbyFingers creates dioramas of famous events with insane tangents while documenting their creation. One video even has a choreographed song.

Lawerence systems covers a lot of self hosted tech with articulate and concise instructions. Really like his method of teaching.

GreenX has some amazing retrospective videos about games, they’re a bit newer of a channel. Every upload has been fantastic though. Insanely funny, highly recommend watching their STALKER video.

Facefullofeyes, same as above but has a very inconsistent upload schedule. Much less humor than greenx but very insightful analysis. Highly recommend the SWAT 4 video.

Jacob Geller has put out consistently amazing videos for years on end.

[–] nickiwest@lemmy.world 3 points 10 hours ago

Bernadette Banner does historical (largely Victorian) sewing techniques and patterns but sometimes branches out into health and beauty recipes as well.

Abby Cox does historical fashion on a broader scale and sometimes has content about other historical trends or myths that she encounters in her research.

[–] ExtraPartsLeft@lemmy.world 11 points 14 hours ago

Practical Engineering. His videos are about all the infrastructure that makes the modern world function.

[–] Nolvamia@lemmy.world 2 points 10 hours ago

One I haven't seen mentioned yet is Marius Hornberger. Awesomely talented young German maker.

I'll add some that haven't been mentioned.

Tech Ingredients - various experiments and builds. Everything on how to make rum to good novel speakers.

Erik Brandal - makes sound sculptures

/noclip - video game dev documentaries

This old Tony - Machining while being funny

Posy - Quirky beautiful retro HiFi/Tech

Edit: have to add Posy

Many A True Nerd for gaming, History Buffs for historical accuracy in movies and timmmm, a small channel of which I'm still surprised it's so small because his videos are really well produced.

[–] harrys_balzac@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 10 hours ago

Tom Grossi. I'm not an NFL fanatic but his videos are well written and very entertaining. No sponsors or mid-video ads.

Ailaughatmyownjokes. Silvia wanted to name her channel "I laugh at my own jokes" but someone else had it, so she just added an "a" to the front. Very funny stuff. Lots of shorts if you're attention span is dead. Like mine.

Adam Savage and Xyla Faolin have been mentioned and I agree. The PBS channels also.

pReview'd. They do movie/TV reactions and just started producing a travel show. Two besties watching stuff and having a good time.

Coy Jandreau. Total comic book nerd.

[–] vga@sopuli.xyz 3 points 13 hours ago* (last edited 12 hours ago)

Red Letter Media. I've grown bored of the content though but that's a me problem.

Majuular. He makes long form retrospectives of old games, his Ultima retros are amazing. Just keeps getting better and better.

[–] fullflyermokoko@lemmy.dbzer0.com 7 points 15 hours ago

James Hoffman, it even keeps getting better with time. The prophet for the coffee fans

SBPlaysGames, super tiny lets play channel, but has been consistently uploading for 10 years and she picks some really good indie games (as well as board games) that i would otherwise never would have heard of. Plus pretty good analysis of the games, though of course the lets play format means it's pretty spread out across episodes. And by analysis i don't mean reviews, but more like movie analysis level. Though I'd love it if she'd lean into that part a bit more.

and i specifically picked her because it's one thing to consistently produce good content when you have millions of views (and dollars?), but doing so with 28k subs and maybe 100-200 views, for over 10 years, that takes real dedication.

Oh and on the topic of video game channels, AnyAustin is amazing. Fucking weird but amazing. He also does video game analysis but not how you'd think…

[–] mirisgaiss@lemmy.world 2 points 14 hours ago

no slow mo guys mentioned in this entire thing? always been entertaining and decently interesting to me

[–] magnolia_mayhem@lemmy.world 2 points 17 hours ago* (last edited 5 hours ago) (1 children)

Everything by Jupiter Broadcasting. Not really a YouTube channel, but they stream there.

[–] pharceface@retrolemmy.com 1 points 9 hours ago (1 children)

I quit listening after the meltdown that caused Noah to leave Linux Action Show. That was an amazing podcast while it was running.

[–] magnolia_mayhem@lemmy.world 1 points 5 hours ago (1 children)

What meltdown? I was deployed and came back to find him gone. He's been on since then and they were perfectly amicable. Or do you mean lunduke?

[–] huggingstars@programming.dev 1 points 15 hours ago

Legit Street Cars - just great high quality and extremely consistent.

Dawid does tech stuff - guys just funny as shit.

Red dead restorations - absolutely amazing how consistent he's restorations are truly talented.

[–] mean_bean279@lemmy.world 2 points 17 hours ago

LSC as a car-tuber is just such a gift. No click bait, no rage bait, no being a dick in his cars. Just a love of vehicles and working on them. Him and Doug DeMuro are like the only thing keeping me sane in the car community since all the others turn to super cars, buying insanely expensive stuff, and just constant environmental shitting and debauchery. I know my cars aren’t great for the environment, but the way other car-tubers just open pollute and destroy the environment is disheartening.

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.

[–] spoke0thedevil@lemmy.zip 14 points 15 hours ago

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

[–] nagaram@startrek.website 10 points 22 hours 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.

[–] echodot@feddit.uk 4 points 19 hours ago

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.
