Its a German channel, but I would throw Simplicissimus into the ring. They always had high quality content, and the quality of their videos is constantly rising.
They also have an English channel
LockPickingLawyer - Keeps things short and sweet, doesn't waste your time. my mechanics - Restoration channel, doesn't pull any YT tricks or shit. danooct1 - PC Virus showcasing channel.
His quality had definitely fallen around the time he made his site. He would just upload videos of shitting on bad locks and using his own tools. I unsubscribed shortly after. I don't know if it's any better now, but originally he would upload a video when the video had something worthwhile to show.
Nah still the same, pushing his tools hard in every video.
Only the April Fool's videos are worth watching now.
Honestly, while I did recommend him, I have stopped watching his channel a long time ago, like a year and a half ago.
I get it that he's a very experienced lock-picker and almost no lock can withstand his level of skill. But I'm at two minds of this. First off, while he is educating people about bad locks, he is kind of also breeding criminals who'll now have a better understanding as to bypass locks especially his tools. I hope in the back of his mind that he knows this.
The other is, how the hell can we tell whether or not a lock is bad when he makes all of it look so easy? Mind as well just be all the locks available is bad and we just mind as well have a hope and a prayer nobody takes our stashes without locks.
Yeah his channel was fun for a while, but now I just feel like he's being completely smug about his skill. The only video I was remotely entertained by, was when he actually had a few locks he couldn't pick because of their unique design. Maybe once a while something actually is beyond him.

Phil DeFranco is better than he used to be by a long shot. He's getting senators and journalists in interviews for all manner of new related content. And he stopped with the enlightened centrism angle he had for a bit. Much more mature and level-headed.

The Majority Report
Accursed Farms, twoodfrd, Rummy's Corner, Grimbeard, RedLetterMedia, Summoning Salt, Zaric Zhacaron, OneShortEye.
RedLetterMedia is so good.
Its just reaction content with mild reviews of movies. But I love that they're reacting to media so old in most cases that it doesn't feel gross.

Primitive technology. There are many imitators, but the original is a man on his own in new Zealand. His videos focus on building structures in the woods. Starting with river mud, he will make a furnace in order to make bricks in order to make a building to sleep in in order to use it for kiln drying for larger structures etc.....
Be sure to watch with subtitles to read his explanation of things!

Overly Sarcastic Productions, consistently producing animated essays about history, mythology, and story tropes
Tom Scott with amazing places & things you might not know.
But he stopped making videos. I'd say that's a significant drop in quality.
He placed the main channel on hold, but has still continued to produce content. He has an extraordinary game show in podcast format that shares very unique trivia called Lateral. He is also in the post-production phase of a new run of videos featuring a big road-trip, according to his newsletter. He also occasionally still makes new series of Technical difficulties.
