Nearly all the "interesting" channels I like have been mentioned already so I second all shoutouts for:

VSauce
TomScott
Veritasium
Smarter Every Day (definitely my favorite)
Jim Browning (of all the channels getting "scammers" I think his is the best).

Unless I missed them though no one mentioned:

Today I found out (though 3 of the same guys other channels were mentioned)
It's ok to be smart
Seeker (though recently I found myself clicking on their videos a bit less than I used to).
The SciShow Franchise (3 or 4 channels).

I love Jim browning
I also like pierogi
Kitboga is not my cup of tea.
Sniggers like a child and does feck all

There's a couple of well known channels always entertain me with humor and solid production value to their videos.

The Internet Historian always has a wry, informative and hilarious take on weird happenings that pique his interest.
His latest video is a mini documentary on the Costa Concordia debacle

And of course for movie reviews, particularly for reviews of God awful movies, you just can't beat Red Letter Media.
This spotlight on Verotika and the utterly hilarious incompetence of the movie made me laugh.

Thanks for all the recommendations. I just add more channels I like that didn't get a mention:
The Tim Traveller, quirky travel blog.
Jay Leno's garage, the man probably the best collection of cars anywhere from rare steam cars to a Mclaren F1 but refreshing shows a genuine interest in all sorts not just the blingy stuff.

Kurzegesagt / In a nutshell

Two lads who blew up over the last two years

Bald and Bankrupt, most travel youtubers are crap, this guy is not

Rate My Takeaway, basicallly Peter Kay reviewing Fast food joints.

Also
The Chieftain (and of this parish to boot)
Mark Felton for Military History
Triggernoemtry, the whole culture war area is a crowded field but these lads do great interviews and they're fairly amusing

Whoever said Lindybeige can **** right off

A spoofer that people think is credible because he has a posh british accent.

Well, Lindy has the good taste to have me as a guest appearance on occasion.

Seriously, though, he's entertaining but a bit hit and miss sometimes and often requires a bit of verification, but he's also good for provoking further research.
Anyway, to give a link, all things WW2 armor.

Yep - What could be interesting topics from the Tank Museum but lacking knowledge?

That bald and bankrupt guy is a creep also has a condescending attitude towards the countries/áreas he is in.

Anyways, I like produce like a pro, rick beato, guitar manifesto, rhett shull, Steve Stine, Marty Schwarz, very good if you're in to music/guitars.

yermanoffthetv · 29-04-2021 01:53PM

Definately worth checking out Anton Lyadov's chanel "The People"
He does extreme travel documentaries to dangerous places like Somalia, North Korea and the like. Very interesting and well done.

Like that video he had you on where you corrected nearly everything that he said?

I think that's a bit unfair, he's lived there over 10 years only moving away in 2019 due to safety concerns. I've watched his motorcycle videos with Cmilk and found it quite good. I think his issue is with the growing authoritarianism of the Communist government and censorship in China, which is fair enough.

Its well documented him and his mates on the channel are sex tourists on numerous other sites, their old pseudo names on old message forums and blogs were found out and they were stupid enough to detail their encounters online. Theres a whole subreddit dedicated to him/them that archived their posts that they tried to hide/delete once outed.

While many are unaware and some will still watch his videos for enjoyment regardless, they're the ones funding his disgusting lifestyle.

Are you able to share this well documented documentation?

He's gone way too political but I don't see how he is a creep? He's lived in LA for the last 5 years or so.

I look forward to each installment. He has less than 100k subscribers, which is unreal.

Pretty much all my favourites have been mentioned, but here's one channel I follow, even though I initially had little to no interest in the subject ..the re-building of a wooden sailing yacht.

Watch the skillz ...with nice background music

Manic Moran · 29-04-2021 06:19PM

Oh, there aren't that many videos on the channel, but I very much enjoyed "Confessions of History". In french, but good subtitles.

igCorcaigh · 29-04-2021 06:25PM

Horror stories channel.

It's "interesting" in a dark way.
Real life horror, not the spooky kind.

Mollydog123 · 29-04-2021 06:46PM

Mossy Bottom - English guy who quit the rat race and moved to an old cottage in the west of Ireland. Good for people interested in self sufficiency.

Just for Laughs - Always good for a few laughs.

Cook NShare - Great for recipes

Whang is a good channel if you enjoy internet sub culture videos.

I like cold fusion as well. Some good stuff.

I watch ItsaGundam just to listen to him spout off.
