History matters : he makes short 3-4 minute videos about interesting historical topics also his 10 minute history series was amazing I highly recommend it
Since you liked pointless hub you should check out alternate history hub it’s owned by the same guy and his what if scenarios are amazing
Whoops, meant to reply top-level.
I quite like Dank Pods’ Cash Converter videos to feel like I’m browsing around with him and laughing at the bizarre things he finds.
- Brick Experiment Channel testing Lego bricks and building remote controlled vehicles
- Technology Connections explaining how TVs, refridgerators, coin operated record players, LaserDisc and any kind of other technological stuff works
- Lemmino documentary type videos about all kinds of stuff, not many videos and hasn’t been posting for a while but the backlog is good
- Fredrik Knudsen documentary videos mostly about internet culture, also hasn’t posted for a while
- Obviously Tom Scott, but also the channels with his friends Matt and Tom (no new videos anymore, but has Citation Needed and Two of these people are lying) and Technical Difficulties
- Hbomberguy in depth videos about stuff
If you like True Crime, these three are my favorite channels with 2 being hidden gems
That Chapter - https://m.youtube.com/@ThatChapter/featured
High Time Crime - https://m.youtube.com/@hightimecrime/featured
A wicked world - https://m.youtube.com/@AWickedWorld
Mark Rober - Former NASA engineer and inventor. Super fun and interesting videos
If you like Sam o Nella you’ll probably like BlueJay, very similar style but uploads more often. https://youtube.com/@BlueJayYT
If you like Fallout/Skyrim/Dark Souls (and other games of that like), check out Ymfah. 10/10 for the insane challenges that dude puts on himself. Didn’t see him in the list, easily my favorite to watch when I’m bored
SuperEyepatchWolf is pretty good. I especially enjoy his hour long video essays. Somehow he can keep my attention throughout the whole video.
I especially can recommend this one on Liminal Space and the Backrooms: https://youtu.be/gp-2M_3HwFU
It really like him too! He really seems like a hidden gem to me.
The Tim traveler always cheers me up. He visits interesting places that your usual travel channel doesn’t and wouldn’t.
Skill-up for videogame reviews but mainly for his “this week in videogames”
My old car for some old car content on American cars
Big car for a more relatable European format about old cars
Kai W for photography related things
Dave2d and mkbhd for tech review
Path less pedaled for cycling content that isn’t about competitive or fancy things
CGP Grey is my main one, but Corridor Digital is fun, too. I don’t do much video due to processing issues, though.
Numberphile is great if you’re interested in logic and math. Their older videos are best, so it’s a bit of binge watching if you’ve never seen them before. You don’t have to be great at math or anything. Every video basically starts from common logic.
If by any chance you’re interested in music, I can recommend Paul Davids, who is just another handsome guy with an acoustic guitar, but actually manages to dig deep down into both the theory and techniques of good songs.
If by any very odd chance you’d be into skateboarding as an adult, I’d recommend Jon Bishop, who is an old dude going through all the steps in a safe manner. The bonus is that whenever I watch any of his videos there’ll also be many good suggestions from that.
Fraser Cain - he goes over everything space but without the physics. Very down to earth and very real scientific space talk. Also goes over weekly space news.
And if you want more of the physics side, pbs space is also great as well.
you must really love fallout lol
I like a lot of those channels too.
Double toasted for entertaining movies discussion
