I’ve added my favorite YouTube channels in the comments below. (Feel free to check them out!) But, my preferences aside, what YouTube channel(s) do you want more people to see?

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 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.

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

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.
