For me I really do enjoy watching some of the Locking picking lawyers content and he is an expert when it comes to picking locks!
Another few are mental outlaw (although I think everyone knows of him here) and Steven Bridges who makes videos on card counting at casinos and he shows how much he wins/loses from playing
My recommended Youtube Videos/Channels
This is a list of videos that I have complied over the year or so. After I decided that I should make it so that I can send one or two links instead of a dozen. I am going to list out some of the different creator that I decided to curate in this list.
Johnny Harris
He isn’t small anymore but I loved his work at Vox so I naturally followed him after Borders was canceled. But they really only took off after Borders was canceled. His video is on of the first one’s on my list and it is probably one of my favorite videos that he has made. It’s all about finding the beauty beneath the surface in places where people travel for a cliche. It also has some beautiful drone footage. Why I Can’t Stop Thinking About This Photo I Realized that I mentioned Borders a lot so if you are unfamilar Johnny would travel around the world covering border disputes or interesting history. My favourite video was about Hong Kong was beginning to be intergrated into China. How 156 years of British rule shaped Hong Kong I feel like nowadays his production value has gone up but it feels less educational. Now it feels like style over substance.
Dylan Beattie
He gives interesting tech talks. This one is by far and away his most popular. The Art of Code - Dylan Beattie This one is about designing sytems adapt to failure. Failure is Always an Option - Dylan Beattie
Climate Town
Makes funny and informative videos about climate change. Why your ‘Carbon Footprint’ Is A Lie | Climate Town
Sarcasmitron
He makes videos on topics that others have not covered in as great of depth. I thoroughly enjoy his videos. The Fish That (Allegedly) Destroyed California
exurb2a
The only video of his that I have watched is “The Answer is Not A Hut in the Woods” it made me realize that I need to be more patient with my own creative process. This may not count as niche because it has a ton of views but I liked it so much that I think it’s worth bending the rules for. The Answer is Not a Hut in the Woods
