Ask Lemmy

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.

Smarter Everyday (space, slow mo, manufacturing), PBS Space Time (space, quantum physics, astrophysics...), Xisumavoid (Minecraft Let's Play), Magnus Midtbø (Climber), Asianometry (technology, manufacturing, science history)

One that I don't expect to see here is biz barclay. If a 3 hour video of a woman with ADHD getting drunk and doing literary analysis sounds even remotely enjoyable you'll love her content. A good starter video is her video on attempts to subvert the manic pixie dream girl trope, and why she doesn't believe it's possible to succeed at.

Tom Scott for sure kept video quality high and standard over the years. I miss him.

Brick Technology (link)

There's no voiceover, no clickbait, no intro or outro, just an engineer building absurd Lego machines to overcome set challenges. The quality and entertainment are top tier.

@Raycevick

He makes great in depth analysies about games. I would gladly sacrifice every single ign, gamespot, polygon etc etc articles just to have well tought content like his released biweekly.

RedLetterMedia

They used to do the Mr. Plinkett reviews and still publish a bunch of videos of reviewing movies that are very, very good (and entertaining) and other movie related content. While there are no more Mr. Plinkett reviews, they have maintained the same high quality of the channel for the last 15+ years. They just don’t publish content as often. It’s down to once or twice a week now.

Mustard Stories about Planes, Trains and Ships with amazing animation

Calum Scottsman on an Island talking about History and Arctic Exploration Vehicles.

It's probably not the genre people here tend to enjoy, but if you are into homesteading and farm stuff, Gold Shaw Farm has been excellent for years now.

Forgotten Weapons

Dank Pods! The content has only gotten better over the years, plus their expansion into car stuff and gaming. Started from iPods, now a bunch of different type of content. 🇦🇺

Veritasium.

Bad Obsession Motorsport ! I've been watching them build a Mini rally car for 12 years. They keep getting distracted by perfectionism and I'm very here for it.

People have already mentioned most of the maker and DIY channels that I enjoy

so I'll mention a new to me channel — Hunter Direction

if you already like most of the machinist and maker channels, and you like cars, then you will probably love this channel. seems like it's a guy just making videos about his project cars, which expanded into making videos about his projects (home ownership stuff). but his latest stuff is scripted and shot and edited so damn well, it's art. I would highly recommend watching his last couple videos. they're not short but god damn are they quality

oh, and Mujin. I didn't see anybody mention him. another dry humor DIY type channel. love it.

Cambrian Chronicles. Obscure Welsh history documentaries with occasional whiplashes of dry humour. Not a super old channel but a marked increase in quality over time. Medieval Laws for Your Medieval Cat is a personal favourite.

Post10.

11 years of posting videos. No politics, no ads, no culture war bullshit. Just camping videos and unclogging culverts.

Vlogbrothers ftw

Mighty Car Mods are a pair of Australian blokes who have been doing car-based videos for 15+ years. Everything they've done has been high quality and entertaining.

I honestly don't know how they do it.
