Just about nothing besides a song I wanna hear really quick

True crime. Fat electrician, animagrafs, nilered, primitive technology!

You might also like gesithasgewissa, which is like primitive technology, but in 600AD. And not fake like most of the clones.

I'll check that out...the reason I like Primitive Technology is because it is clearly not faking the success or failure and the end result is functional but far from flawless.

Same reason I watch it. And this one ticks all those boxes for me too

Donut media, video game strategies, Lord of the rings videos, UFC, One Fighting, Street Beefs, Primitive Skills videos, Cooking videos. I just watched a video on making pear jam, got a ton of pears from the food bank.

I have a Dropout subscription and enjoy most of their stuff, most of all GameChanger. I also follow a German science channel, Kurzgesagt and Last Week Tonight. Then there's two smaller channels, my mechanics for crazy detailed restaurations from a crazy Swiss guy and Cinemastixx who highlights some nice movies and movie makers.

Currently I'm watching the Pro Volleyball Federation games since they just launched so they're streaming everything for free. That's probably a bit genre specific since I still play vb and have daughters playing club vb.

I watch the 24 hours of lemons stuff because I intend to race in it someday and there's some pretty funny stuff.

I recently found The Why Files which is a combination of (thankfully non-political) conspiracy theory and little known facts.

I've been watching savagegeese for car reviews. Donut media for somewhat random car stuff. Project farm for all sorts of product testing.

Edit: Oh and of course, you can never go wrong with Epic Rap Battles of History

Synthesizer news and reviews, Dark Souls streams (Lobosjr is the only streamer I can tolerate), 80s and 90s music videos, cute cat videos, Rush covers, gadget teardowns, soldering videos.

Edit: Almost forgot robot sumo.

Progressive media, Primitive Technology(with subtitles), Glen and friends cooking, Lockpocking Lawyer.

Edit: for comedy, Jeff Arcuri is fantastic at crowd work.

I find myself guilty of watching YouTube Shorts. Besides that, plenty of movie scenes because I can't bother to watch a 2 hour long movie any longer. A lot of my saved videos are of things I want to learn. Lately about gesture drawing and watercolor painting. Then I skip through those videos and frequently increase playback to 1.25-1.5 speed.

Videos on urbanism and transit, video essays, tutorials, and music videos. I watch more YouTube than any other streaming service.

Business Insider, veritasium, vice, anything about how stuff works, astronomy, science and engineering shorts, car/motorcycle reviews, But there are mostly YouTube shorts

[–] [email protected] 1 points 5 months ago

Mostly train cab rides - train drivers filming their trips from the cab and publishing them.

Most popular account is probably RailCowGirl, a Norwegian train driver who has absolutely stunning videos.

I watch Decino play DOOM and that's pretty much it

I give this fantastic YouTuber a vote for those into ancient civilizations and human evolution. https://youtube.com/@StefanMilo?si=VmwsXFkjloG8L6Z5

This thread has some great ones, and quite a few of the folks I'd consider the best. But I haven't seen anyone mention Stuff Made Here! What gives?

Joel Haver movies, he's making one a month this year and the two so far have been brilliant especially this most recent one. Really talented creator with a real passion for movies, he's made a lot of really impressive low budget films all free to watch on YouTube with midroll ads turned off. His films are normally a fantastic blend of funny and emotional, great writing and he works with a lot of fantastic actors most of who are successful creators in the own right.
