Inspired by this post but the other way around. Which channels (any subject) do you think have stayed true to their beginnings and are still worth watching today?
My pick would be Gamers Nexus.
One that I don’t expect to see here is biz barclay. If a 3 hour video of a woman with ADHD getting drunk and doing literary analysis sounds even remotely enjoyable you’ll love her content. A good starter video is her video on attempts to subvert the manic pixie dream girl trope, and why she doesn’t believe it’s possible to succeed at.
The Majority Report
Accursed Farms, twoodfrd, Rummy’s Corner, Grimbeard, RedLetterMedia, Summoning Salt, Zaric Zhacaron, OneShortEye.
Chrisfix
Glock9 if you like gaming
Agreed he has stayed consistent for sure.
@Raycevick
He makes great in depth analysies about games. I would gladly sacrifice every single ign, gamespot, polygon etc etc articles just to have well tought content like his released biweekly.
Primitive Technology. He started the whole “build a shelter on the woods” genre that has become so dumb, but his videos are still just as great as ever. No narration or music, just interesting experiments into basic technology like shelters, fire, lions, pottery, etc., all using only materials from the forest around his camp. Now he’s working on a way to make fire hot enough to smelt metal.
I’ve been watching him since he started, and he’s the only channel that I stop everything to watch when a new video drops.
FortNine: both the content and the video quality are top notch.
TechnologyConnections is the only channel where you’ll waste an hour nerding out on washing machines, even if you don’t own one.
Louis Rossmann has been instrumental in the fight for right to repair in the US.Yeah i could list many more but you asked for one (and i already overran that), plus these are the ones that stand out to me.
fortnine noticeably dropped off in quality when they lost the original editor and moved out west… early videos are still gems tho!
I did notice Aneesh is missing, didn’t know it was due to moving.
Rossmann fights the good fight, but his two hour rambles could be a blog post instead
He also dramatizes for clicks.
you’re not supposed to watch it on 0.25x speed
Fortnine made a famous video about how motorcycle armor was a waste of time and front to back, the entire video is wrong and the comments from ER MDs back that up. Fuck Ryan.
Testing history with Max Miller and How to Drink.
Literal Disney prince makes hardtack. Excellent channel.
Its a German channel, but I would throw Simplicissimus into the ring. They always had high quality content, and the quality of their videos is constantly rising.
They also have an English channel
It’s probably not the genre people here tend to enjoy, but if you are into homesteading and farm stuff, Gold Shaw Farm has been excellent for years now.
Techmoan, if you are interested in old or weird tech.
Phil DeFranco is better than he used to be by a long shot. He’s getting senators and journalists in interviews for all manner of new related content. And he stopped with the enlightened centrism angle he had for a bit. Much more mature and level-headed.
People have already mentioned most of the maker and DIY channels that I enjoy
so I’ll mention a new to me channel — Hunter Direction
if you already like most of the machinist and maker channels, and you like cars, then you will probably love this channel. seems like it’s a guy just making videos about his project cars, which expanded into making videos about his projects (home ownership stuff). but his latest stuff is scripted and shot and edited so damn well, it’s art. I would highly recommend watching his last couple videos. they’re not short but god damn are they quality
oh, and Mujin. I didn’t see anybody mention him. another dry humor DIY type channel. love it.
If u have any interest in cars or engineering:
