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.

Primitive technology. There are many imitators, but the original is a man on his own in new Zealand. His videos focus on building structures in the woods. Starting with river mud, he will make a furnace in order to make bricks in order to make a building to sleep in in order to use it for kiln drying for larger structures etc.....

Be sure to watch with subtitles to read his explanation of things!

All true, except he’s in Queensland, Australia.

[–] SkaveRat@discuss.tchncs.de 13 points 16 hours ago

I'm still amazed he's alive after all this time working in the Australian jungle

Also needs to be said that he's been creating for a decade and every video is consistently as good as the last one. The man single handedly spawned an entire genre and he just kept doing his own thing, algorithms and influencer culture be damned.

Very glad to see this mentioned, yet somewhat miffed you think he's in, I assume "Tropical" New Zealand?

His videos, and those of Lemmino, are the only ones where I'll set aside a time of day so I can watch them alone and happy.

I watched this channel for at least 5 years before I knew to turn on the captions!

This was also the first channel I thought of when looking at the question. Shame that it created so many low effort imitations that are obviously fake though.

Is there anyone out there that is even vaguely similar without being fake?
