Edit: adding more suggestions and spaces between suggestions
How is science and futurism with Isaac Arthur (SFIA) not getting more love? They are probably the highest quality and most educational videos on the entirety of YouTube. And while all of the videos cover the future, they cover wildly different topics and fields.
What will space travel actually be like? Will we live in space? What about new space sports? How will space effects our diets? What about AI? How will it effect our lives and hobbies? Mind uploading? Clark tech? Dyson swarms? O'Neill cylinders? Could the entire universe be a hallucination?
Also shout-out to PBS spacetime
How is science and futurism with Isaac Arthur (SFIA) not getting more love?
Tbf, Isaac Arthur will sometimes propose ideas that absolutely no hope of working such as orbital loops. While I get that he's not an engineer, videos like that tend to be a blemish on his reputation.
Legal Eagle is great at explaining current events and their Legal implications, he also does reviews on movies or shows to explain how they portray law vs reality.
Ordinary Sausage makes sausage out of everything and generally does cooking experiments in a quick and humorous way
Bobby Fingers is a mix of artisan videos where he expertly hand crafts dioramas (mostly) of events while making funny and interesting comments, but he adds some pizazz and production to the whole thing that makes it very engaging.
Bobby fingers came in swinging with high production value from day 1. He doesn't have many videos but the quality of them is so good.
I have several excellent YT channels to recommend, in alphabetical order:
Accursed Farms - The source of the "Freeman's mind" series, Ross also makes excellent videos about other games.
Alasdair Becket-King - ABK is a comedian who makes short but really funny videos.
Anders Enger Jensen - A Norwegian musician making awesome synth songs.
Barely Sociable - Interesting videos about odd topics, focuses on "dark" stuff, has a good voice.
Brick Experiment Channel - Remote controlled submarine made out of Lego and other Lego stuff, need I say more?
Calum - A guy from Scotland making amazing videos about stuff like: Rescue buoys from WWII, WV Beetles at the south pole, Flying homes of the past, Jerry Cans, Secret WWII Bunkers, and much more. This is awesome.
Code Bullet - Chaotic AI programing, very fun and cool to see.
DankPods - Started with iPod Repair videos, reviews random crappy MP3 players, has insane amplifier to blow up headphones, mostly talks about weird nuggets of technology. Well worth a look.
James Channel - Do you want a portable Super Nintendo, but are worried about not breaking it? DankPods oldmate will show you how to do it with some random components, duct tape and hot glue.
Jet Lag: The Game - A game show where the planet is the board, they have played connect 4 across the US, Raced around the world, played Tag across Europe, made New Zeeland into a board game, played CTF across Japan, and more, really good!
Mustard - Exellent transportation documentaries, with great CGI.
Paper Skies - Son of a Soviet air force pilot talking about how life and work in the Soviet air force was.
Paper Will - Documentaries about "dark" topics like "The ugly side of kids TV", "Entertainment made by cults", "Games about 9/11", really interesting stuff!
Peter Dibble - Want to learn about the bus running on the wires of a ski lift system? You can here! You can also learn about that time that Amtrack brought a Swedish and a German high speed train across the US for tests in the 90s.
Ringway Manchester - Videos about two way radios, amateur radio and other things on the airwaves.
Side Note - North Korean cruises? Hitler's Birthday? US presidential yachts? An ice block in Sahara? Mysterious Egypt/Israel flights? A floatibg hotel in North Koera? What do all of these topics have in common? They all have videos on the Side Note channel.
Only real homies watch Dankpods.
Got some open backs because of him. Prized possessions, they are. Even got myself the Frank Longboi
A couple of random suggestions:
Summoning Salt - Video essays detailing world record speedrun history across a variety of games. Videos are easy to understand and assume you aren't intimately familiar with the games in question. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=i1AHCaokqhg
RRC Restorations - A Scottish bloke that does really in depth restorations of mostly cars and motorcycles, very relaxing and a joy to watch without any flashy filter. Just a super talented guy doing cool things in his little workshop. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=JJSjy4OciLs
Motion in Art - Film essays similar to some of your other favourites that might be of interest.
Art Deco - Analysis, investigation and explanation of art, including the history and context in which paintings were made, themes and motifs, and details that you almost certainly missed when looking at art as a layperson. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=m3hM6Qw8Nf4
Fredrik Knudsen - Making the series Down The Rabbithole, which are dives into a variety of topics, including tech and history. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=UCgoxQCf5Jg
Lemmino - Video essays on conspiracies and mysteries, all are very interesting and worth watching. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=5u7euN1HTuU
Love down the rabbit hole
Lately I've been obsessed with Tasting History with Max Miller. He recreates historic dishes while exploring the history surrounding it. Very bingeable
EthosLab - the OG Minecraft Youtuber that other Minecraft Youtubers watch; somehow still innovating on redstone and technical builds to this day despite Minecraft redstone already pushed to its limits long ago, and his multiplayer shenanigans on Hermitcraft and Life Series is top notch.
Adam Ragusea - cooking videos made for actual home cooks who just want no-flair no-fuss recipes, as well as food science videos exploring and explaining different cooking methods and food chemistry. I'm particularly a fan of how he encourages you to measure and cook by feel rather than by strictly following recipes.
You have mentioned some great channels! In addition to those I recommend,
Map men map men map map map men men men.
You forgot a few of these "," please sprinkle them where ever for maximum annoyance.
I love how you just casually included the iFixit channel.
It's true though. They've got teardowns for just about every major mobile device, and then some. As for their store, I bought the screen I'm typing this on from them. The shipping could be better, at least in my experience, but the products are definitely high quality.

If you have 12 hours of idle time, there's a fantastic video on The Phantom Menace that really added to my appreciation for it. Bread Circus is amazing
Mighty car mods - https://youtube.com/@mightycarmods
A couple of Aussie blokes and their mates having some wholesome fun mucking about with cars bought sight unseen from the internet.
Despite him being on the side of the canadian freedom truckers AVE has some of the best power tool teardowns
Yeah, anything with DewClaw was great, the tool breakdowns are usually good, but he's lost the plot a bit lately.
Bill Hammack explains engineering concepts and household items clearly.

Loouis Rossman. He's interesting to listen to.
Your next question has to be sky related and rotate the picture up. Then ground and rotate down.
Let's see, Nexpo if you like horror of any kind, DevilArtemis if you like anime or high quality animations, Jordan Howlett if you want fast food secrets, and Casual Geographic if you like animal facts even if they hurt.

Dude, Second Thought is basically tankie propaganda now
You don't have to agree with everything you see my dude. In fact, I would hope you don't.
There's a difference between watching content you don't agree with and giving views (and thereby ad revenue) to propagandists.
I don't know about you, but I'd rather not spend my limited time alive on listening to people who are intellectually and morally bankrupt.
In my eyes, suppressing knowledge, or advocating it, is morally bankrupt.
If you have a better argument, you engage in the conversation, you don't end the conversation and make sure no one else can talk about it again.
You shouldn't even try to dissuade people from watching it, you should want the people around you to be better educated, I would think. Idk, man, I want my wife to stay with me cuz she chooses too, not because I've lied to her about every other man in the world, or destroyed her self confidence so she thinks she can't do better.
To be clear, that's abuse. All of that.
Looking around, imma go ahead and say capitalism, in any flavor it's being expressed in this world, isn't living up to its promises. From what I can tell, that puts me with 95% of everyone else.
Do I think communism is the answer? No. I think capitalism is fine for grand pianos, not Grandma's pills.
After WW2 the post war economies settled on social democracy as the compromise between the two. I think we need to get back to that, and designate areas of the economy fundamental and forbidding people from profit or rent seeking practices. Education, medicine, emergency services, community development. Essentially if it's something the government offers or necessitates, then it's already paid for in taxes, that goes for permits, passports, licensing, reviews, All of it. I think that because it's obvious the relationship between elected officials and civil servents to the population needs repairing, drastic change. The only positive change I can fathom is simplifying for the end user (one tax) and open-transparency.
I'm willing to entertain arguments against, I don't claim or think to know everything. In fact, everything Im right about now I can guarantee I was wrong about before.
In my eyes, suppressing knowledge, or advocating it, is morally bankrupt.
Claiming I'm advocating the suppression of knowledge is a bold claim. I'm informing you (and anyone reading this thread) about their heavily skewed view of the world as a caution. You can always choose to not take my advice.
Also, claiming people are trying to suppress you simply because they shared their opinion is rather disingenuous. I have made a single personal attack on you, I've only criticized the informational valye of the channel you recommended, assuming that you were simply unaware of its issues.
You shouldn't even try to dissuade people from watching it, you should want the people around you to be better educated
It's weird you're using this argument when the channel in question has a video called "Alternatives to Capitalism" that is just a 15 minute rant on why capitalism is bad and spends no time actually discussing potential alternatives to capitalism.
I'm willing to entertain arguments against, I don't claim or think to know everything. In fact, everything Im right about now I can guarantee I was wrong about before.
Given how you immediately resorted to a "reducto ad absurdum" argument makes me highly suspicious of your willingness to entertain differing arguments. In fact, it's concerningly similar to the debate strategy of Second Thought and tankues in general.
Please keep trying to broaden your horizons, particularly to more moderate sources. You're sounding like you're falling into an echo chamber
You've cherry picked parts of my argument and disregarded the meat, the heart of it that carried my point.
In other words, you either found contention too soon and disregarded the rest of youre intentionally being obtuse and arguing circularly as if one of us can win here.
The opening line was a statement, not an attack. The "you " in the second line is generic, not directed. If I'm not directing at you, why would I feel personally attacked? Cuz I don't. C'mon man.
Try again bro.
You've cherry picked parts of my argument and disregarded the meat, the heart of it that carried my point.
Your entire argument was (and should) be disregarded when you immediately resort to calling me morally bankrupt by your reducto ad adsurdum argument about your wife, which I actually did address if you read properly.
The opening line was a statement, not an attack. The "you " in the second line is generic, not directed. If I'm not directing at you, why would I feel personally attacked?
If you truly believe that any reasonable person wouldn't take that as a personal attack then you need to brush up on your English skills.
Like I suggested for, you're stacking up to be exactly what I would expect a fan of Second Thought to be like, and that's not a compliment. I offered you a chance to help you dig yourself out of a tankie echo chamber, but if you want to mire yourself in that then by all means go ahead.
Way up that list before I mentioned Second Thought I also mentioned the Fat Electrician, whom, if you haven't seen his work, is staunchly, aggressively, anti-communist.
Do those that you've come up with or currently surround yourself with completely lose their critical thinking once video starts playing?
Idk what to tell you man, you jump to a shitton of conclusions. Wearing pink doesn't make me gay
When I see a sign in another language I don't think it's talking about me.
Take care of yourself, I guess, if you want, either way, I'm done here.
My favorite channel would have to be Destination Adventure with Dustin Porter. Why this guy doesn't have 10,000,000 subscribers is beyond me. Not only does he go to some amazing places, but he's a really gifted videographer. Everything about them is top-notch, and he does it all by himself. The amount of B-roll stuff he gets must be a tremendous amount of work. He picks great music too...
Forget YouTube and Google by extension. Imagine if you spend all those hours watching something that improves your mind and capabilities: https://ocw.mit.edu
Work on yourself, friends.
Oooh! I think I'm gunna learn me some Machine Learning for Inverse Graphics.
MobileTechReview (https://www.youtube.com/@mobiletechreview ), Lisa's reviews feel the most authentic to me without too much bullshit and they always helped me with my buying decisions.
