I like watching 'My Mate Vince" he just tries to repair broken stuff really.
I love this repair community thing. Bring back the days when things are repairable.
Breaking Taps
The Thought Emporium
Technology Connections
The first two are people doing things at home that shouldn't be possible without a uni lab.
Connections does really thorough deep dives into every day tech we use.

Vlogbrothers has been a favourite for many years. They do so much good! And do lots of silly stuff too, like making a series of videos with titles taken from smash mouth’s rockstar 😀
Jan Misali
I was going to suggest the older "All Gas No Brakes" or "Channel 5 with Andrew Callaghan" but looks like there's been some controversy around him and no more videos since then.
I think this thread is the first one to get my save button.
On topic, if you're into gardening (or just wanna watch something different) check out Hoocho. A guy building hydroponic systems and growing stuff. Great channel. Also no weed if that's the first thing that comes to mind from hydroponics.
BobbyBroccoli
Dude makes hour long (or longer) videos / (videoseries) about scientific topics, such as "America's missing supercollider" or "Man who tried to fake an element". And they are all done really well.
This is pretty niche, but if you've watched Summoning Salt and are looking for something similar, check out OneShortEye:

He does something similar for the world of speedrunning old LucasArts/Sierra adventure games. Highly recommended!
Most of mine have already been mentioned, but here are a few I didn't see:
Songs by Spencer A guy named Spencer makes songs. Relatively new channel, but the production quality is top notch. I think his day job is owner of a video production company.
Cheap Audio Man Reviews relatively cheap audio gear. Cheap is a pretty wide range in the audio world.
Awesome Open Source Talks about open source software. Usually runs through how to install and basic usage/features.
Chris Titus Tech Tech channel. Mostly Windows and Linux.
Techno Tim Mostly homelab related stuff
66Samus Drum stuff
Nicole van der Hoeven Obsidian.md / Personal Knowledge Management
Rachel Maksy Cosplay / crafty stuff
How to ADHD ADHD stuff
Coffeezilla Covers scams, grifters, etc.
James Hoffmann All things coffee
The Kiffness Makes songs out of random internet clips of animals. Or remixes other people singing. My kids love this channel.
So these people are my go too:
Tech: MrWhosTheBoss LTT Sam Baker Andrew Ethan zeng Joe knows best(amazing but hardly uploads now)
Cars Donut Misha charoudin Auto Alex Matt Armstrong Chris slix
Video games Wildcat Black panthaa Game riot Cartoonz Grizzy Smi77y
Other random things: Thoughty2 History matters Shxtsngigs Manny khoshbin Drivetribe Gameranx Lemmino
Not many I follow too closely to be honest these days. I just did a big purge of a bunch of my subscriptions so there's only a handful now.
Gaming/Entertainment:
Nextlander: General gaming; comprised of three ex-members of Giant Bomb (Vinny, Alex, and Brad).
Mr. Samuel Streamer: Primarily focused on Rimworld and Crusader Kings, just an extremely witty guy that puts a lot of work into what he does. Often spends 8-9 hours in gameplay and editing to make a 30 minute episode, every day.
Nilaus: Factory/automation games, like Factorio and Dyson Sphere Program.
The Jimmy Dore Show: Semi-leftist, has liberal tendancies but is more political comedy than serious commentary, so I categorize him more as entertainment than political. I often don't agree with all of his takes, but the show can be good sometimes.
CryptTV: Mini-horror episodes, often with a few recurring monsters. Really well done effects work.
Politics:
Li Jingjing: China-based journalist, covers China and the global south as a whole. Does both serious stories and cultural/interest pieces. Great for somebody just interested in seeing more China without the anti-China rhetoric.
George Galloway: Left-leaning talk show host, some reactionary tendancies but he does have a pretty good range of guests from time to time, including the above. He's been around for ages, very well established.
The Deprogram: Leftist talk show and podcast.
That's kind of my entire subscription list at the moment, it has been cut down a lot recenty.
jim browning (tech support scams).
Hacks into scammers' systems while they're scamming him and exposes them. Gives you a so satisfying sense of justice. And it's overall interesting to see how he's working, and educational too.
glassslinger - million year old guy in a dress fabricates vacuum tubes and repairs radios. steve1989mreinfo - guy eats old mres crimepaysbutbotanydoesnt - gonzo nature walks uscsb - your tax dollars at work
Thanks guys this is awesome!
I like echarts ladder lots of starwars content.
Also obsidian ant, game reviews etc
Astonished to see a thread about YouTube and not see any mention of Dankpods. I sub to two patreons, and Wade's is one of them. It's because of him that I have an ever-growing collection of iPods.
Soft white underbelly.
Miniminuteman - Archaeology and BS-debunking
Crecganford - Anthropological views on mythology
münecat - popular culture BS-debunking and other stuff
The daily show - I like the discussions more than the show.
NativLang - Linguistics and stuff
I haven't seen the fall of civilizations channel being mentioned, so here you go.
Bad Obsession Motorsport - Project Binky
my fav car build on youtube
also My Mechanics, crazy good restoration projects
Pop Culture Detective - probably my favourite out of the millions of video-essay makers
fern is a relatively new channel covering various themes – like why french McDonalds is so much better or how a few german companies profited from Hitler and never took responsibility – in extremly high quality. Its a cooperation of two established dutch and a german channels. Really worth checking out.
If you are interested in woodworking there are 2 channels.
Stumpy Nubs -- provides quick (usually < 15 min) how to videos on different techniques and tricks. He does a great job of explaining and demonstrating things
Bourbon Moth - a lot of full build videos (they tend to be > 30 minutes), but he does a great job of explaining the whole process from start to finish
A loosely moderated place to ask open-ended questions
