I think this thread is the first one to get my save button.

On topic, if you're into gardening (or just wanna watch something different) check out Hoocho. A guy building hydroponic systems and growing stuff. Great channel. Also no weed if that's the first thing that comes to mind from hydroponics.

RedLetterMedia - movie and bad movie "reviews"

BobbyBroccoli

Dude makes hour long (or longer) videos / (videoseries) about scientific topics, such as "America's missing supercollider" or "Man who tried to fake an element". And they are all done really well.

Moon Channel, a lawyer who dives into some of the legal topics surrounding the gaming industry, most of them Nintendo related. Really well researched information about emulation legality, modding, even copyright infringement Nintendo themselves committed in the 90's (in the Mother 3 video), all sorts of stuff.

He also has a few other things, like a REALLY LONG video on JRPGs, or commentary on MMOs.

I was going to suggest the older "All Gas No Brakes" or "Channel 5 with Andrew Callaghan" but looks like there's been some controversy around him and no more videos since then.

Dankpods

Astonished to see a thread about YouTube and not see any mention of Dankpods. I sub to two patreons, and Wade's is one of them. It's because of him that I have an ever-growing collection of iPods.

Contrapoints and Andrewism immediately come to mind. Might add more in an edit.

Veritasium

I like echarts ladder lots of starwars content.

Also obsidian ant, game reviews etc

Vlogbrothers has been a favourite for many years. They do so much good! And do lots of silly stuff too, like making a series of videos with titles taken from smash mouth’s rockstar 😀

Wristwatch Revival. I have never and will never own or repair an expensive non digital watch, but it's great content. Marshall is easy to listen to and it's actually very interesting.

This is pretty niche, but if you've watched Summoning Salt and are looking for something similar, check out OneShortEye:

He does something similar for the world of speedrunning old LucasArts/Sierra adventure games. Highly recommended!

Grand Illusions. A nice old man gently shows you all the cool stuff he's collected. It's fantastic calm and soothing entertainment.

Bad Obsession Motorsport - Project Binky

my fav car build on youtube

Soft white underbelly.

Miniminuteman - Archaeology and BS-debunking

Crecganford - Anthropological views on mythology

münecat - popular culture BS-debunking and other stuff

The daily show - I like the discussions more than the show.

NativLang - Linguistics and stuff

I haven't seen the fall of civilizations channel being mentioned, so here you go.

Pop Culture Detective - probably my favourite out of the millions of video-essay makers

fern is a relatively new channel covering various themes – like why french McDonalds is so much better or how a few german companies profited from Hitler and never took responsibility – in extremly high quality. Its a cooperation of two established dutch and a german channels. Really worth checking out.

If you are interested in woodworking there are 2 channels.

Stumpy Nubs -- provides quick (usually < 15 min) how to videos on different techniques and tricks. He does a great job of explaining and demonstrating things

Bourbon Moth - a lot of full build videos (they tend to be > 30 minutes), but he does a great job of explaining the whole process from start to finish
