I'm a big fan of any of 3blue1brown, his videos are university level math explained and visualized extremely well.

Can't believe there's this many comments with Technology Connections being listed.

Folding Ideas

Clickspring - An Australian horologist who not only builds clocks from raw materials by hand, but his series on the Antikythera mechanism is a must see. He actually added to the historical knowledge about it. Plus he has one of the most soothing voices on the planet.

Steve1989MREInfo - Not only the history of military rations, but culinary critic also. And who among us isn't fascinated by watching someone open and eat a 175 year old ration on camera.........

ANTI-CHEF - Watch a normal Canadian person attempt recipes from Julia Childs and other Micheline Star Chefs in his New York City apartment. Complete with sirens and his failures.

Stand-up Maths - A more irreverent look at mathematics then Numberphile

NES Hacker is a newer channel that explains low level programing in the context of retro games. Easily one of the best channels I've seen for this stuff.

Channel 5 with Andrew Callaghan

His latest series starting with San Francisco Streets is fantastic. It’s filled with great interviews, stories, and information. Andrew does an excellent job of storytelling while being humane I thought.

Lemmino,

The Why files

If you like Nile Red + I did a thing, you'll probably like the Safety Third podcast. It's hosted by William Osman and a bunch of other YouTube scientists

Folding Ideas is my favorite channel, but since someone else already recommended that, I'll also recommend Thomas Flight. He's a film nerd, but its all really beautifully explained and he also puts a lot of effort into highlighting things that he likes. His video "Why do Movies Feel So Different Now" was really enlightening.

Practical Engineering has a lot of civil engineering videos explaining how a lot of the infrastructure we rely on works/was built.

He uses a lot of well filmed practical demonstrations in his garage to explain the concepts.

A few channels that lie around a specific topics I can remember:

• jc : A professor at IITK, has highly informational videos for aspiring students in the context of motivation and studying for examinations.
• No boilerplate : Videos on increasing productivity and the occasional rustacean (programming) shilling.
• Ryan Chapman : Mainly long format information rich video essays related to politics/political systems and how they came to be.

The topics they cover are highly specific and cater not that large an audience but the quality of the content is quite c.ommendable.

I have a couple, completely unrelated ones.

alex lennen - Great channel on comic books, especially Marvel. Presenter is also really funny and full of energy.

BobbyBroccoli - If you're at all interested in academia and science in general, check him out. Really nice information presented in a visually pleasing way.

lambdaxx - Super niche, but if you like the game EU4, he's probably the best one to watch to really get better.

M. Laser History - Great channel on medieval European and Slavic history, with some forays into other periods. Great quality overall.

Tasting History - Cooking show with a history segment. Overall nice quality and you learn a lot.

everyday astronaut has some extremely in depth videos about space and rockets, order by popular and go!

Not particularly useful in every day life though.

I love NakeyJakey, Sage Rain, ThorHighHeels, and Jacob Geller. They mainly talk about games and stories with a few random videos here and there and they do an excellent job at making hours-long entertaining videos with lots of passion for the topics they cover.

Ordinary Things is a very high quality deep dive style channel with an excellent sense of humor.

stuff made here for some crazy projects and impressive engineering/software writing

j kenji lopez alt for very informative cooking videos

michael reeves for a crack cocaine version of stuff made here

FortNine

Mostly motorcycle related info.

Depends what you're into

Real Life Lore is top notch documentary style content. Super educational.

Science: Professor Dave Explains, Jeff Nippard

Sassy tech news: Fireship

AI news: AI explained

History: History time

Explaining concepts (Like types of Bias, etc): The Paint Explainer

Linux (with occasionally memes): Mental Outlaw, Luke Smith, Mark McNally

Linux news: The Linux Experiment

If you're into ancient history and battles. I watch historymarche. It's a smaller channel but they seem pretty thorough in their research. Mainly focusing on ancient battles and how they progress from a top down point of view, but also give context around the ancient or medieval period.

I enjoyed Tom Scott.

I like to add Ahoy. He uploads maybe twice a year, but eeveeytime it’s golden. He mainly focuses on videogame history.

Another is the Extra History channel short history videos with nice animations. They are a spinoff of Extra Credits that focuses on the gaming industry.

I’d also like to add Fearless & Far it’s more travelvlog like, but the guy visits all kinds of remote places and people, which makes it really interesting to watch.

WristwatchRevival - A watchmaker (Horologist) that services all kinds of wristwatches. He provides excellent narration and camerawork. After watching his channel I went from not caring about watches, to considering studying horology as a profession.

Bobby Fingers. The dude makes dioramas (models) but his videos are so much more… there is as much artistry and talent in the video as there is in the model. Phenomenal skills and entertainment. I’m not even remotely interested in model making.

I'm a big fan of Internet Today for getting my weekly news. It's like having 2 friends to watch the end of the world with.

engineerguy (Bill Hammack) is a great channel where Bill explains all kinds of different things.

Mental Outlaw

Luke Smith

Trip code

Hardware Haven

Jared Bauer was the founder of the still fantastic channel WiseCrack. Both channels mainly deal with media and philosophy within the context of that media.

I also think Philosophy Tube and Jessie Gender make high quality content. Philosophy Tube is, obviously, more about philosophy, whereas Jessie Gender delves more into movies/television. Both of them delve into politics as well.

And for politics with a side of humor, you can't go wrong with Some More News.

But I really recommend kurzgesagt if you are into science ! High quality prod !

animation vs physics

Jared Owen - Incredible 3D model breakdowns of things and how they work.

Lesics - Explanation of things in an intuitive manner.

Engineering Mindset- Cool engineering videos.

Animagraffs - Animations of how things work.

Big fan of Joe Scott
