Things I haven't seen.
' Steve mould - does cool little kiddie explanations of physical phenomenons.
Foureyes furniture - a bit asmr, but a woodworking channel. Guy makes neat stuff and talks about life while doing it.
Wristwatch revival - alsp kinda ASMR, but guy takes apart and repairs mechanical watches. Very repetitive after the first few watches, but I keep watching anyway.
Game Makers Toolkit (GMTK)
Kyle Hill. He's a science YouTuber and he has a series about nuclear energy that is very good.
Here's some of my own, in no particular order:
Gotham Chess - also known for his catchphrase: "Sacrifices... THE ROOK!!!". Yeah, that guy.
Kyle Hill is a science communicator and makes awesome educational content; he also debunks conspiracy theories.
Jeff Geerling is a RasPi aficionado who's made tons of projects.
Louis Rossmann specializes in consumer tech (mostly computers); he's a great critic of corporations and DRM.
Jenna Moreci is a published fantasy writer and has great videos on what to do and not to do when writing fiction.
One Topic at a Time - shares LGBTQ memes found on reddit. His voice may sound annoying. (What can I say? It's an acquired taste)
Bits inside by René Rebe specializes in Linux and Open Source stuff.
Noralities is a girl who makes video essays about anime, and they're not trivial opinions They involve writing, stereotypes, romance, society, and stuff. She's done her homework.
EDIT: Added details.
NeverKnowsBest For very in depth game essays. He has a 2:44:46 in depth look into the history of MMO's. 2:03:15 Elder Scrolls analysis. And he has an absolutely comforting voice that sweeps you along so easily that you don't even feel the time pass.
Mortismal He reviews games after he 100% them, makes guides, game lore, builds. His favorite genre is tactical rpg's but he'll to do others of people ask him to. The man is a consummate professional, and work horse. Puts out a video 5 days a week. He went from foster care, to being homeless to making a living doing what he loves. Used to put up posters offering to make game guides for money when he was a kid.
Lex Fridman He did long form interviews of really brilliant people. Novel prize winning scientists, mathematicians, biologists, philosophers, politicians, tech moguls, artists. The list goes on. He's not funny, but he is refreshingly sincere in his wanting to try and understand the topics, people, and life. He's a Russian-American computer scientist and research scientist at the MIT Laboratory for Information and Decision Systems.I don't always agree with him, but I love getting to listen to the people he interviews.
Quinn's Ideas A wonderful fan of sci-fi that reviews and explore the worlds of great sci-fi novels, turning over the abstract concepts inside those universes. He has an extensive playlist on the world of Dune, Lovecraft, authors I've never heard of, and he also covers other nerdy things too. He has a wonderful voice that brings you down into the world he's describing. You can tell her really gets into the books he reads, the more mysterious or awe inducing the better.
Wes Roth I recently found this guy. He reports on current news on AI. He does a great job at explaining things you would be too afraid to ask about for fear of sounding stupid. He's not an AI expert he's just discovering AI advancements with you, for you. Calm, nothing flashy, and curious to see where this is headed. If you wish you had time to look up and read about what's new in AI, this is your guy.
The Big Lez Show An all knowing multidimensional immortal Aussie Sasquatch doing a bunch of drugs, also some humans and some aliens.
The Royal Institute Like TED talks but in Great Britain, much longer, more in depth and very scientific. The intended audience are scientists, but some talks are just too fascinating to miss out on.
Luetin09 Warhammer 40k everything. Really great lore videos that are darkly beautiful to watch. He is a veritable font of WH40K knowledge.
dslyecxi It's like watching a team of military professionals conduct missions in ARMA 3, and with all of the hilarious fuckery that ensues. ARMA 3 is a realistic military sim, nothing like the arcadey Call of Duty or Modern Warfare. Really great footage.
Edit: Mr Sunday Movies Movies, comic, and TV shows, shooting up your butthole. They're Australian, but they make up for it.
Looks like there's some I can add:
We're In Hell Funny videos about reality shows that devolve into leftist madness, they're amazing
Blue Jay If Sam o Nella was a bird
Mr. Beat Ex history teacher and amazingly awkward dude, quite good at explaining US political stuff.
Second Wind Yahtzee Croshaw (ZP) and Cold Take, as well as a bunch of other ex escapist people and it rules.
The Vile Eye The series "analysing evil" is a pretty good dive into fictions baddies
The Stupendium Performs and writes songs based on pop culture, and is great at what he does
munecat ~~cute British girl pours Beer really badly~~ funny music lady debunks/discusses political shit
knowing better long form history content from an ex history teacher. Most recently had been doing the insane religious movements behind Kellogg's and whatnot
b2 studios videos about AI being trained in Unreal Engine, like teaching an ai to bowl or play ping pong. Also funny AF
your movie sucks movie reviews. Dude knows his shit and is pretty funny

I'm surprised he hasn't been mentioned yet. Haven't seen another channel that presents medical cases in such a good pacing and storytelling while being able to eloquently explain complicated medical stuff such that everyone can understand.
FortNine. It's a motorcycle channel, but even if you don't care about motorcycles it's a great watch. Top production values and great storytelling.
Example: why Harley Davidson is dying: https://youtu.be/EOwxxsPaogY?si=XHHZc_P1hAiRIhp2
I haven't seen him mentioned here:
Fact Fiend
I watch him a lot less than I did before, but it has nothing to do with the quality of his content (which has always been great) and more to do with me not watching YouTube that much nowadays (I used to have a very boring job, so had lots of downtime for watching videos)
Here are a few that I find have consistent high quality content:
The B1M... His videos seem to really get into the nitty gritty logistics of various large construction projects.
Caitlin Doughty (Ask a Mortician)... I feel like each video is better than the previous. The historical death documentaries are incredible.
Climate Town... Videos about climate change & has a really fun sense of humor.
Neo... Lots of really cool explanatory videos. The editing is really good as well! The recent video on the presidential motorcade was very cool.
And one more... Reckless Ben... IDK if it really fits within the prompt of this thread.. The channel is tough to watch with all the annoying humor & there is a lot of hit-or-miss videos, but at least lately, it seems to really be doing some very interesting things. I enjoyed his series on mckamey manor.
EthosLab - the OG Minecraft Youtuber that other Minecraft Youtubers watch; somehow still innovating on redstone and technical builds to this day despite Minecraft redstone already pushed to its limits long ago, and his multiplayer shenanigans on Hermitcraft and Life Series is top notch.
Adam Ragusea - cooking videos made for actual home cooks who just want no-flair no-fuss recipes, as well as food science videos exploring and explaining different cooking methods and food chemistry. I'm particularly a fan of how he encourages you to measure and cook by feel rather than by strictly following recipes.
Dunkey. Mind you, he just had a kid so I think he's put out some lower (but not phoned in) effort videos in the last couple of months, but his comedic voice and the banal way he mocks games and gamers has always been consistent.
Since I haven't seen him mentioned, Michael Stevens aka Vsauce, great Philosophy and science YouTuber.
Sadly only makes like 2 videos a year :/
But his older videos are all still very good watches, I love to rewatch them.
Mighty Car Mods --> https://www.youtube.com/mightycarmods
Dudes have been making awesome automotive content since 2007. And Moogs sound tracks that he creates for the episodes (and especially the feature length stuff) is incredible.
Don't think they've had a single moment of boring content in 16 odd years, let alone anything objectively bad. Absolute units the pair of them.
Food Wishes
Yes that's rightt, you're reading this in Chef John's voice now. Not only do I cook, which is my life's passion, and probably my second favorite thing to do, but I also tell jokes, because let's face it, it's a perfect opportunity to perfect my comedy routine.
Red letter media
Usagi Electric (Old mini-computers and terminals)
Adrian's Digital Basement (Old micro-computers restoration)
bigclivedotcom (electronics reverse engineering)
Nerdforge (Arts and crafts)
Kurzgesagt - Love their production and content
Joe Scott (Answers With Joe)
Tim Dodd (Everyday Astronaut)
Scott Manley (Scott Manley)
Sovietwomble has been consistently obsessed with the quality of his videos. He also consistently makes me laugh.
bigclivedotcom has been my favourite channel for almost a decade. Specalized on electronics and his soothing voice is pleasant to listen to.
Captain dissolution, doesn’t post often but makes up for it with insane editing quality
Karl Jobst for sure.
A bunch of my other subs have already been mentioned, so I want to add Caitlin from Ask a Mortician. She has demonstrated integrity and consistently high effort for her channel despite growing to over 2mil subscribers.
Jenny Nicholson is another that's been around and gotten big but her videos have only gotten more weird and interesting.
Climate Town has rapidly become one of my favorite channels and consistently puts out well-researched, informative and entertaining vids
If you like guns, (I know, this is lemmy, but there must be a few of you) Demolition Ranch, Kentucky Ballistics, Edwin Sarkisian.
I still like Level1Techs. They don't put out nearly as many videos as they used to, but what do they put out is usually good.
Clickspring makes some of the most beautiful, soothing, detail obsessed machining videos imaginable. Dude builds complex gear works from scratch, including a replica of the Antikythera mechanism which is still in progress after many years, though nearly finished now.
