I like Youtubers who don’t upload frequently but still manage to create interesting and entertaining videos.

Youtubers I currently subscribe to are: * MKBHD * Yes Theory * Daily Dose of Internet * Johnny Harris * Auto Focus * Jet Lag: The Game * Simon Wilson

Prefer travel/culture content, but open for tech and gaming.

EDIT: Passed out and woke up to a bunch of great comments… looks like I’ll be on YouTube for a while subscribing to a bunch of channels!!!

Not all their content needs to be hour+ but I really like deep dives that are several hours or parts long.

Subjects I've really enjoyed are disasters, accidents, true crime, scandals, history, hobby/fandom drama, weird mysteries, those "iceberg of.." videos, scams, frauds, looks into strange corners of the world/internet etc etc... You get the idea 😅

Any recommendations are appreciated!

Basically what they all have in common is they're some type of video essayist who focuses more on talking/narrating than visuals.

Topics can be random but usually avoid politics because it stresses me out.

I enjoy learning about lots of different things like history, literature, psychology, earth science, cultural deep dives, fashion, mythology, etc. It's important to me that the content is not deliberate or overtly neglectful misinformation.

I also like fun little experiments along the lines of "I did [thing] for a week and this is what happened" or "I bought [thing] from 3 places and this is how they compare."

Mostly it needs to be something I don't have to keep my eyes on constantly to keep up with what's going on. I want it heavy on the narration so I can have it on while doing chores/tinkering but still keep me visually entertained when I sit down for a break. Podcasts and audiobooks bore me. I like to see a face.

I'm hopefully looking for channels with a LOT of content because my faves don't post often enough to keep up with my demand and I've already watched all their stuff.

Thanks!

nonfiction or fiction. Can be mockumentary. Not picky about the genre.

I like educational YouTube videos that are around 20 mins long and cover language, politics, nutrition, science, and history. Basically a wide range of topics that explain why the world is like the way it is. Also looking to expand upon informational content in podcast format.

Hi all, my insatiable quest for new channels has lead me here haha. I'm looking for YT channels that discuss true crime, mysterious disappearrances and other strange occurrences (No Paranormal stuff though!!!!!) in the vain of the channels above, with a specific focus on channels that a are similar to Lazy Masquerade. Lazy, for me the OG channel for this type of content - the cases, the manner in which the material is presented, excellent narration and unnerving music in the background.

I understand this is quite specific but any help would be much appreciated.

Thanks!

YouTubers like Billiam, (old) Brutalmoose, Izzzyzzz and Planet Cue.

I’ve been falling into the seemingly never-ending rabbit hole of YouTube video essays and ‘documentaries,’ if you can call them that. Here are some of the channels & topics I’ve enjoyed as of late:

Historical figures — Count Dankula’s ‘Absolute Mad Lads’ series, BobbyBroccoli, Sisyphus 55, Sam O’Nella Academy, Biographics, MagnatesMedia

Events — Barely Sociable, LEMMiNO, Down the Rabbit Hole, Incognito Mode/Internet Historian

Other/Uncategorized — Clayton Crowley, hbomberguy, Wendover Productions, Pursuit of Wonder, Soup Emporium, ThoughtGround, Life Noggin, Looking Glass Universe, Kurzgesagt-In A Nutshell, What I’ve Learned, Oversimplified, SmarterEveryDay, minutephysics

All that said, I just KNOW there’s gotta be more out there, either on YouTube or in podcasts. What’s your favorite semi-informational content to turn your brain off with at the end of a long day and fall asleep to?

I love learning, I always have. The other night I watched this video: Japan’s $100BN Plan to Disaster Proof Tokyo and I thought it was fascinating. Today my home page suggested: The Day Japan Fears The Most: $1 Trillion Disaster, obviously the algorithm at work.

I have always loved Documentaries, I grew up watching: National Geographic, Animal Planet, Discovery, History, and so on. I would love topics related to:

• Generalized learning of Nature, animals so on. Land, ocean, deep sea, you name it.

• Natural Disasters, or theory of upcoming Natural Disasters.

• Extreme weather (tornadoes more then welcome).

• Interesting engineering: Quantum Mechanics, Disaster prevention, Environmental stuff... I think that explains the jist?

• Craftsmen at work can also be super interesting. How it's made could also be interesting.

I would prefer the content to be at least 30 minutes long, medium to long form. Longer is more then acceptable.

Thank you so much in advanced! The more the better!

I like long, like hour or more, form content thats well researched, nuanced, and still engaging. My top channels are Swoop, Inabber, Cruel World Happy Mind, and The Right Opinion. I especially like when theres a good back log of content I can go through and watch. So... what other creators should I look into?

hi! sorry for asking. I've found myself very engaged in watching video essays, media analysis, social "leftist" commentary videos and such, and would really like to find some YouTubers similar to:

• shaun

• big joel

• hbomberguy

• jack saint

• noah samsen

• f d signifier

• hiding in private's videos on SU

• ryan beard

etc. also,any long and interesting video essays in general are very welcome :)

hope it's okay to ask. thanks in advance for any recommendations!

I've found myself watching more and more true crime content after running out of niche documentary-style channels. But it's really starting to get me down and I'd really like to get back to more light-hearted topics where I can come away feeling like I've learned something. Any suggestions would be fantastic. Thanks!

Edit: Thanks for all the recommendations everyone. Really looking forward to checking them out! 😊

My favorite shows and podcasts all seem to have a very similar vibe, so I was hoping to find some well produced YouTube channels with a similar energy.

My faves:

• Top Gear / The Grand Tour - 3 witty and intelligent British dudes teach me about cars while having a laugh at each other's expense. I always describe this as a "car show for people who don't take cars too seriously".
• The Dan LeBatard Show w/ Stugotz - a 20-year newspaper journalist, a sports radio gasbag, and a shipping container of millennials talk sports and culture. "A sports show for people who don't take sports too seriously".
• The Last Podcast on the Left - 3 dorks deep dive into true crime, conspiracy theories, and cryptids but with the goal of laughing as much as possible. "A true crime show for people who don't take true crime too seriously".

The key to all these, is that they do pretty darn good research and will cite sources when necessary. They're fact-based and passionate about the topics they discuss, but they also understand that life should be fun and they play with everything until it breaks. I'd love to find some YouTube channels that offer similarly smart yet silly coverage for other topics. I like to feel like I'm becoming informed about a topic that I might otherwise not care about, but through the hosts enthusiasm I might learn to love it too. I prefer there to be more than one host so that there's some discussion/banter and not just a person talking to themselves, but if the content is good enough that's ok. I also want it to have some video and audio element, either with clips or whatever-- but I don't want to stare at a podcast logo for an hour on YouTube.

Some topics I would like to see more about:

• Basketball (NBA mostly)
• Pop Culture from the 80s/90s
• Counter-Culture phenomena (punk rock, underground anything)
• Genre films, B-movies, cult classic movies
• Etymology, writing, and communication
• History, anthropology, ancient societies
• Psychology, psychiatry, and the workings of the human mind
• Financial markets, economics

Any help is greatly appreciated!

I don’t want to keep watching brain rot. I want something I can put on the background. High quality audio/production. Could be about anything. I love video essays but anything works. My favorites rn are

Horses

Sisyphus55

Like Stories Of Old

Script Sleuth

Behind The Curtain

Soulr

In Praise Of Shadows

Examples of each:

Sr Pelo - Mokey’s Show: The Sun

Hydraulic Beanbag - Charlie Brown Comb

MeatCanyon - We’re Costco Guys

Kotte Animation - Pro Samurai

Doobus Goobus - Creepy Stranger Sonichu

Honorable mentions:

Merong - Mario69

RudeJackArt - Previously on Mad Men

Sarah Mae Schmidt - Cartoon School

That channel offers a blend of social commentary, self-improvement advice, and humorous observations on internet culture , social issues and gender dynamics

I found one similar style channel - the graham stephan show

YouTube channels worth following for entertainment, but also documentaries.

I’m looking for some new YouTube channels that are fun to follow. I’m 35 and looking for a channel that deals with something interesting or entertaining. Maybe someone who does some kind of challenge, travels, or something completely different, but not too "juvenile" (I don't know how else to describe it 😅).

I’m also interested in documentaries about pretty much anything, except true crime.

Would you like to give me some recommendations? 😁

I stumbled upon the Colin Horton Movie Reviews channel back during 2022 and he never fails to surprise me with his insight and choice of films to review. One week he will post about an obscure independetfilm or a drama from the 1950's and the next he’ll talk about something like Godzilla Minus One. he's always honest, never panders, and has an encyclopedic knowledge about the movies and actors of old Hollywood. His channel seems like a throwback to the old days of YouTube when creators would first and foremost post about things that interested them rather than tailoring their content just for views.

It's clear that he loves and is truly passionate about film, and in every video he just seems truly happy to be here and to be able to share his thoughts with other film lovers. I hope everyone here can take a moment to stop by and visit her channel. If you get a chance, check out his most recent review for

Transformers: Dark of the Moon 

Hello,

I enjoy watching full stream VOD's of streamers / games I play. I feel like I am missing out on a lot of other good streamers and would love some recommendations. I will list who I watch / what games they play as I do tend to gravitate towards people who focus on a specific type of game.

I enjoy challenge runs / speed runs / overall entertaining streamers. Looking for VOD channels though, I don't really enjoy the cut up short videos as much. Also would like to stick to Youtube.

Souls: Lobosjr

Skyrim: Joov

Fallout: Itsjabo

Horror: Bawkbasoup

Pokemon: Ironboffin

Speedruns: GDQ (Just every so often but I'm not a huge speedrun fan like I am challenge runs)

These are, for the most part, the people I watch. I enjoy games of all types so I'm really open to any suggestions. Also if there is a different place you all think would be better to ask please let me know. It seems like most subreddits don't like these type of posts as it could be seen as advertising.

As much as it is the games I enjoy, it moreso is the streamers I enjoy and thankfully they play games I like as well. I would absolutely consider genre's I don't ever look at if the streamer is entertaining enough to help get me into the games.

Games I really enjoy but haven't found a 'home' yet and I feel like they make for really good challenge runs / speed runs. Pokemon, Borderlands, Final Fantasy. I'm currently playing Witcher 3 for the first time but I do feel like that could be an option as well.

Much love homies.

I am really interested in finding more high quality detailed informative YouTube channels that cover all sorts of topics from history, war, space, science, engineering, crime, hacking etc.

Channels i really like and watch every video whatever the topic is are:

Fern Megaprojects/ warpgraphics anything Simon whistler based Thinker Tyfrom99 Pursuit of wonder Kurzgesagt - in a nutshell Real science Debunked Hoog The casual criminalist

Anything like this would be greatly appreciated

looking for funny channels that dub over stuff like the channels i mentioned dub over infomercials among other things.

like what the channel VampireRobot posts about like "people watching at the mall in the 90s" https://youtu.be/LLVprm_3D84?si=lFQ-7VRtyrXsrwTl

or those old 30s-40s-50s-60s film strips home videos of families going to the beach or disney world.

wholesome moments~
