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.

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

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

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

@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.

Paleo analysis-just straight academic dinosaur content.

Language Jones-academic etymology breakdown of various slang, patoiss, and memes

Rick Beato. His channel banner says "Everything Music" and it's not a misnomer. I am not a musician, don't know a Dorian from a pentatonic, but every time he throws something up I drop everything and sit and listen to it. It's just that interesting.

You should know that he plugs his own music training courses (probably worth it) but has never once taken an outside sponsorship. He covers all genres and all fields of talent in music, and regularly pulls in younger unknowns for interviews as well as household names. He has nothing but praise for effort and talent, but no time for hacks. It is incredibly refreshing.

Even if you are only a listener and not a player, just getting the pro-level views on what things should sound like and even how to listen will take your own music listening up multiple notches. Be sure to look for his "What Makes This Song Great" videos, because they are not reactions, they are dissections: you will hear and learn things about songs you've heard a million times that you never noticed before.

Can't say enough good about this channel. When life sucks, I go listen to some Rick Beato.

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.

I've been watching Yahtzee Croshaw for ~5 years now, but he's been around for more like 15. He did change channels, but the style of videos he made stayed the same, and the quality, if anything, has only gotten better

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.

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.

[–] starlinguk@lemmy.world 1 points 2 months ago

RobWords. If you like etymology, he's your man.

[–] HerbalGamer@sh.itjust.works 1 points 2 months ago

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.

Whoooo buddy! Hammocking, camping and occasional circus antics since good Lord knows when.
