Advoko Makes is my favourite. Russian guy building stuff in the woods. Posts new videos rarely but the quality is top notch

Astrum Decoding the Unknown NOVA PBS Official
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.

Quality is realllllly subjective. What are your interests?
https://www.youtube.com/@MrBallen/videos
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.
Neil Halloran! They produce the highest quality documentary-like videos on YT. And I bet you never heard of them! Please do give him a search

I really enjoy Yesterworld and Expedition Theme Park.
This a the millionth comment but I found this CRIMINALLY UNDERRATED channel that fills me with glee.
Down From The Attic
Reviews old nostalgic board games and has the most lovely persona. No clickbaity over-hype YouTube persona BS. He’s absolutely wonderful.
I'm basically copying most of my subscription list here:
- Chef James Makinson - a chef who has done more calm reaction videos recently but has recipes on his channel as well
- Dark5 - one of those channels that produces videos on 5 things about many different stuff (mostly on dark subjects)
- Brew - scaring people from everyday stuff, one video at a time
- Mentour Pilot - commercial pilot giving insights to accidents and incidents as well as other aviation-related content
- 74 Gear - another commercial pilot but has more lighthearted aviation content
- TheFlightChannel - recreations of flight accidents and incidents with text explanations
- PBS Eons - interesting channel on the evolution of life on Earth through the eons
- HONEST GUIDE - channel that offers honest advice on Prague, Czech Republic
- Mustard - high-quality documentary videos on some technologies, they don't post regularly but the wait is worth the content
- Langfocus - a language enthusiast talking about languages and simplifying them as an intro
- Jelle's Marble Runs - marble racing, the world's sport
I think that should be good enough...
H3 podcast is the best show on the internet baby let's go
History Matters is absolutely hilarious if you like world history and British humor.
