I feel like Ethoslab deserves a mention. He’s basically making the exact same great fun Minecraft videos as I, a grown ass man, remember from my literal childhood!

I have subscribed to a few skateboard channels that I have followed for a long time. Not because of the tricks, because quite frankly, these guys are not the best skaters, but they make good content for old skaters like myself who don't care much about the latest tricks.
Ben Degros. Perhaps better known for his other channel The Vancouver Carpenter. Well, he's also a skateboard product connoisseur, who can smell the difference between different presses of deck concave and wheel sizes.
Jon Bishop. An old fart from UK who started skating at an old age and walks through all the basics and thoughs of beginner and intermediate tricks.
And obviously: The Skate Nomad. Mike Boisvert. A (relatively) young Canadian dude who quit everything and set out to live the dream of skateboarding in every country in the world, while couch crashing at locals the entire way. It's interesting to see the differences and similarities in cultures world wide from this perspective.
Good Mythical Morning/Mythical Kitchen.
They've maintained their high quality since even before YouTube and they hosted their own content.
Same with Cinemassacre (James Rolfe aka The Angry Video Game Nerd's channel). Er... If you can consider purposely being low-quality for B-movie nostalgia as actually high quality 🤔

Ashens. Released a video the other day about microwavable burgers that I couldn't immediately tell whether it was brand new or 10 years old.

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.
A channel that's missing here which I personally really like is TimeGhost history and their other channels World War Two and The Korean War. Their coverage of world war two in real time (which they finished already) was especially great. I'm not necessarily the biggest history nerd, but there's something quite enjoyable about following history "live" this way.

Granted it’s only 3 years old, there’s a channel called Little Chinese Everywhere. It’s a travel vlog of a Chinese woman and her German boyfriend. I like the channel for three reasons:
-
They are currently traveling the ancient silk road and retracing Marco Polo’s travels along Central Asia. The area is fascinating and they’re going to places I’ve never seen before or even thought about.
-
Their vlog format is great because they use forward-facing, POV style filming, and gorgeous drone shots. I hate videos that focus on travel and sights but 80% of the time the camera is on the vlogger’s face.
-
They actually research the history of the places they go to, and they’ve studied enough languages to be able to get by. So their videos are not the “out-of-place foreign person visits xx country” style.
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…
no slow mo guys mentioned in this entire thing? always been entertaining and decently interesting to me
