MrBallen is a guy who retells storys in a very compelling way. Stories of murder-cases, odd occurences, sinister events, etc.

This channel is really worth listening/watching (and also binging). I discovered his channel two years ago and follow it ever since. The videos length unsually varies between 15 to 30 minutes. Although the video's thumbnails and titles appear like it is clickbait, each video is well-made and worth a watch! Almost every Sunday a new video is uploaded.

Photonicinduction - Fun with electricity. A good reminder about not messing with electrical devices and cables.

The Engineerguy - Bill Hammack explains the mechanisms and insides of various items. (CC-by licenced.)

Bushbeeman - In the bush, finding bees, the man.

SUSD - Modern boardgame and cardgame reviews.

Haven't checked these out much, but they were recommended too:

Technology Connections

Household tech tips

How Money Works

Overly Sarcastic Productions have a fun mix of history and entertainment, combined with a nuce art style

Captain Disillusion (vital video debunking and general videography/effects)

Jim Can't Swim (criminal interrogation psychology)

Legit Street Cars, Primitive Technology, Ghost Town Living, Donut (their older stuff is better than newer), Colin Furze (older stuff also better than new, but newer stuff is bigger, more expensive projects as his channel has grown), Blackmail Studio and Wristwatch Revival. Those are the YT channels I'm constantly watching (along with Critical Role, but excluded due to length of episodes).

Edit: Oh and SpyroPyro does some awesome stuff with Lasers.

its called doom scrolling literally OP they weaponized everything no tinfoil

History Matters is absolutely hilarious if you like world history and British humor.

Informative ones I subscribe to:

• Technology Connections
• Rebecca Watson
• Steve Mould
• Dr Becky
• Naomi Wi
• Climate Town
• History Matters

I've really enjoyed Strange Parts (Also Stranger Parts for longer format) over the years. He's been through a lot and the videos show some of that. But I think he's doing alright again now and has interesting things frequently.

I also really enjoy Simone Giertz, she's an excellent follow, also has gone through a lot (brain tumor for one) over the years but is still enjoyable.

Adam Savage Tested - It's Adam Savage from mythbusters etc, but doing his own thing and being a geek about it. I really enjoy his personal content. I greatly dislike Mythbusters and most forms of TV media.

ProjectFarm - Independent testing of all kinds of things. If you need to know how tools compare to each other without worrying about sponsor money, Todd is excellent. His methods aren't perfect, but they are good enough for what he is trying to do and for understanding somewhat practically how the various things compare.

If you are ok with a little more spasticity, Colin Furze is always up to a cheeky bit of fun.

Zach Freedman - Prototyping and 3d printing but make it fun and full of puns and sarcasm and a dash of nonsense

Mr Carlson's Lab - If you like electronics and very long format, chat while working style content. This is a great one.

DownieLive - Has good travel videos, especially liked his Alaska series, the canal series was neat and he has multiple unique train ones that are interesting.

I've started to check out Alice Cappelle after watching a good video on the counter points to the 15-minute city.

Music

Lauren Babic - Metal singer, does lots of covers, has her own stuff too, but I enjoy her stuff a lot. She's my favorite singer along with Courtney LaPlante.

Ichika Nito - Lots of really chill, intricate, technical guitar, I wish he'd do more long format stuff but he's fun to listen to. Similar playing to Covet and Polyphia but generally solo and easier going.
