H3 podcast best show on the internet
Erin Parsons Makeup is my newest rabbit hole. A really neat look at makeup through history!
I like casual gaming videos, and often watch Mr. A Game and QuinBoBin, particularly their Zelda videos.
I also enjoy a good analysis, so Cinema Therapy is my go-to.
I have young children in the house, so it can be hard to find entertaining videos that don't have bad language that I don't want parroted back to me.
Learn Linux TV
I watch some science and education channels, programming related. Notable channels are
- Louis Rossmann
- The mad watch collector
- Kyle Hill
- Tom Scott
- LTT
- Watchfinder
- Just one more watch
- Captain Disillusion
- EEVblog & 2
- SAMTIME
- Nexpo
Anything else that looks interesting, Car histories, movie/TV reviews
Video game channel with absolutely top tier writing, production, and presentation that stacks up against the biggest channels out there, but it's from a team of only 2 people. The host is super likeable and entertaining. No low effort click bait videos. Criminally underrated with only 330k subscribers. I know that's still a lot, but they easily have 1m+ sub potential.
The "punching weight" series about ambitious and wacky titles/peripherals are my favorite. They also have some super well researched video game history videos that are great.
Scott the Woz (video games) and Patrick H Willems (films, but leans towards action)
If you are into fishing, hunting, cooking, and a a bit of Southwest history check out Sin City Outdoors. They have family friendly content. For outdoor recovery Matts Off Road Recovery is good and Heavy D Sparks sometimes has great content if you donβt mind fast forwarding a bit.
For food/bbq a few that I like Guga Foods, Mad Scientist BBQ, First We Feast (hot ones), and Munchies.
Lots of good tech channels depending on your interests but here are a few smaller ones I like. Matt Moniz does good laptop reviews, Brandon Butch digs deep into every iOS release, All Things One Place only reviews power adapters and cables.
I watch LBRY (I use it directly and bypass odysee btw)
For youtube I proxy it through piped
This Old Tony, Abom, Tested (mostly just One Day Builds by Adam Savage), Wirtual, Isaac Arthur, CityNerd, Intelligence Squared debates, FloridaMan Diplomacy, Abom79
My subscriptions feed (food and science) is mostly channels Iβve been subscribed to for years now and theyβve all maintained their high quality or improved.
For food, Carla Lalli Music is an entertaining chef and recipe developer who shares recipes from her books. She takes inspiration from all sorts of cuisines and blends them into delicious, adaptable recipes. Crispy gingery ground beef like lime and herbs earned an instant spot in my regular meal rotation.
Claire Saffitz and her team bring mostly baking videos with occasion forays into cocktails, dinners, and lifestyle. Expect lots of cat cameos and fun editing easter eggs.
NYT Cooking has a good variety but their stars are Sohla and Ham El-Waylly, a wildly creative culinary power couple who can make a multi course tasting menu out of anything.
For all things science, basically anything out of Complexly Studios is worth your time. My personal favorite is SciShow Tangents. The various MinuteScience channels are great too (minutephysics, minuteearth, and minutefood ), and while the titles/thumbnails can feel a little bit clickbaity at times, the content is solid and informative.

Okay so Iβm a nerd. I didnβt get into YouTube until recently and I just watch storm chasers, airplanes taking off, and power washing/landscaping porn.
Sometimes before a trip I watch bad landings. Makes me feel better.
I watch those sometimes too. Pilots are amazing.
Game Grumps is my breakfast, lunch, dinner entertainment, and bedtime story.
