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.

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)

Smarter Everyday has only gotten better and better as he has grown in notoriety. Fantastic content, and not beholden to sponsors.

Except for all the American Armed Forces stuff

except him spouting more and more religious shit

Absolutely, he's getting access to places and hardware that keep pushing the envelope, but still remains that very humble human being he always was. He's so kind to everybody working in the factory tours. Absolutely recommend. The only thing i'm not a big fan of is the content he produces with weapons, but that's a cultural thing, i get it.

you may enjoy Steve Mould. British guy also doing sciency stuff. while he does do sponsorships it's usually like kiwico.

[–] morgunkorn@discuss.tchncs.de 4 points 19 hours ago (1 children)

I do, as well as Matt Parker (and Tom Scott but he doesn't qualify for this thread anymore, unfortunately)

We seem to have a large overlap in our Venn Diagrams ^^

[–] runner_g@piefed.blahaj.zone 2 points 18 hours ago (1 children)

ooh I don't know Matt Parker. I'll look them up after work!

[–] morgunkorn@discuss.tchncs.de 2 points 16 hours ago

he's adjacent to Numberphile (also an excellent channel), Hannah Fry, James Grime, very good educators

Almost all of the smarter everyday videos I wish were 1/10 of the size, or two videos (learning vs something glittery that he's distracted by). I'm glad that he's there for people that enjoy that though
