For me it's DJ Peach Cobbler. I've been watching his videos since he had around 2,000 subscribers. Now it's nearly 450,000.

He used to mostly make videos on games, now he does a lot of history stuff too. He also has a little satirical news show, and a few tasteful shitposts. A really diverse YouTube channel.

What's your favorite YouTube channel that's not a mainstream big-name like pewdiepie, mrbeast, ksi, etc...?

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xLfFWXUNJ_I It's more of one playlist than a channel about quantum mechanics on Russian, but as I see it has English subtitles. A fairly clear explanation with a small amount of simple mathematics, probably the minimum that is possible. It helps to understand at least a little such a complex and illogical science for the average layman.

Bobby Fingers. He makes diaramas of weird things and then buries them in the woods for people to find. Doesn't make videos too often but they're hilarious.

I have zero interest in watching an anonymous YouTuber making models… but Bobby Fingers is so much more than that. Highly recommended.

Matt Brown - security researcher and bug bounty hunter

Robert Murray Smith - general mechanical engineering tinkering, lots to learn

TheCod3r - console and other electronic repairs

Wesley Kagan - builds cars but is just an overall genius and entertaining

Joe Grand - hacker, genius

There are more popular/sometimes better people and channels in each genre but I've stuck to those with under 1 million sub's. I'll assume people like Colin Furze, Ben Eater, Computerphile are already too well known for this thread

Kyle the Scott. A Scottish cisman with a kinda effeminate voice who once did a dramatic shirt rip to prove he is in fact cis, in the middle of a half hour essay about why it shouldn't even matter and "transvestigations" are bullshit.

But his normal schtick is media criticism, covering franchises like Star Wars, Halo, and Assassin's Creed. They're just genuinely good reviews that aren't afraid to get into the politics where appropriate (including explicitly rejecting some of the more popular bigoted takes) but honestly feel it's about the way that particular lens affects the media, rather than being an end into itself.

A really tiny channel I like is Don't Look East. Currently less than 3000 subscribers and most videos just get a few hundred views. He does unscripted travel vlogs about rarely visited destinations, mostly in Asia and Eastern Europe. For example he recently travelled the entire Thailand/Myanmar border by motorcycle.
