MODERATORS
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.
Joe Pera, comedian started around 14 years ago
nobody, musical mixes/tracklists, really good at setting moods and introduced me to a bunch of artists and songs 4 years of mixes
Townsends, classic pioneers time guy, mostly food I don't know how long but he's been around forever
Jeff Gerstmann, video games journalist
Here's a range:
Sebastian Lague - game dev and software dev exploration
Pitch Meeting - film summary in short satire comedy form
Sick Animation - fucked up animations
Will McDaniel - comedy sketches using practical effects, puppets and fx makeup
DefendTheHouse - gaming myth busters and community content
FunWithGuru - showcasing easter eggs in games
Pitch Meeting started strong and continuously improved over the years, but recently he has been doing reposts because that is super easy, barely an inconvenience.
Seriously though, home he overcomes the burnout or focuses more attention on pitch meetings as I don't watch his other bits.
He's recently been less active due to an illness and then death in the family. He talked about it in a community post. Either way, I'm glad he found a pace that better fits him.
For gaming content, I've been following CallMeKevin for several years. His stuff is always a good time.
Good time? More like bore ragnarok.

Interesting and genuinely amusing for about 15 years at this point.

Some more news is still as it ever was
Gaming Historian comes to mind. (Caveat: he's no longer doing YT full time, so the uploads are a lot less frequent.) Anyway, he started out as the kind of prototypical kid with Youtube videos, doing a pretty well with the history angle. But over time evolved into a serious documentarion doing top-notch work. Along the same line, DidYouKnowGaming went from an ok channel that repackaged pretty common trivia into interesting but almost click-bait videos, into now being an investigative journalist kinda thing, where they semi-regularly share previously unknown information about old or cancelled games. Still on the games side, Electric Playground has been going for like a quarter-century, since back when it had to be on cable TV instead of Youtube, and Victor Lucas still doesn't suck.
3Blue1brown and Ben Eater make great technical educational videos that, as far as I'm aware, haven't really degraded.
3Blue1brown is amazing!
Workshop Companion is great for beginner-friendly woodworking, and I've been really liking HomeRenoVision DIY for home renovation content.

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. 🇦🇺

Air crash reconstructions using flight sim software, with real ATC or CVR audio where available, but no stupid dramatic acting or filling time. Amazing content, hundreds and hundreds of videos
He passed away from a car accident a few months ago.
Red Letter Media
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.
