MrMobile(Michael Fisher) - His video presentation skills 10/10, I specially love his series named when phones were fun, where he fondly talks about yesteryear phones and gadgets.
Harald Baldr - I may not go to all the places he goes, but the way he interacts with different people irrespective of the barrier of communication is commendable. The way he presents himself in his videos, I believe that's him in real life as well. No fakery.
I feel like Markiplier keeps improving, over time his videos have cut out a lot if padding and fluff that was the standard in old school let's plays, but it's not a smash cut fest like some newer youtubers are.
He also is diversifying his mediums, like the movie that he's currently making (not a "youtuber movie", an actual movie adapted off the game Iron Lung).
The only real controversy of his that I can think of was when he stood up for PewDiePie when he said the n-word. Mainly because they were friends. With how many years he's been going I'm surprised there's not more.
Nothing to add here, but wanted OP to know I saved this post for all the good info people are giving.
Cooking
https://youtube.com/@foodwishes?si=yI4JtmUn50uBBHTq Chef John is a treasure, every recipe I've followed of his has been a banger! Highly recommend
Guitar related
https://youtube.com/@EricHaugenGuitar?si=Ey2YYsjMmoss8XWE Eric Haugen is a fantastic guitar player/teacher, I love his mellow Bob Ross-esque vibe
https://youtube.com/@PhillipMcKnight?si=oHF6ndW08Z4uP9KU Philip McKnight is the god of the guitar gear heads. Has a ton of great videos showing how to do simple guitar repairs, reviewing gear etc.
Comedy/pop culture
https://youtube.com/@commentiquette?si=_s6NoLnG3oDCNPmz Internet comments etiquette is a hilarious channel that teaches how to leave respectful comments in this increasingly hostile and confusing online world.
https://youtube.com/@RedLetterMedia?si=el68vpczG7nP9JvF Red Letter Media - movie/tv critics with great skits and characters. Maybe the best thing on YouTube IMO
Board Games
https://youtube.com/@shutupandsitdown?si=WBR9bWjHv8-NbyaR Really great board game reviews, I've found a bunch of my favorite games here
Educational
https://youtube.com/@animagraffs?si=Dabm4scpS_pZEFFb Amazing 3d renders and walkthroughs of complex machines/systems. The video on the HMS Victory is inspired.
https://youtube.com/@ProfessorDaveExplains?si=j1_aVPIv7onfSuk4 Professor Dave does science education, great videos on many topics.
Motorcycles
https://youtube.com/@FortNine?si=GXooYCKjCYaMPgPF FortNine puts out the best moto content I've found on the Internet.
Well, after looking through, I saw that some of my favorites are not on here.
Kraut: makes well thought out video essays on politics, history, culture and everything in between. He also tells you his reading list that went into making a particular video.
Adam Something: bit of politics, bit of urban planning, bit of shitting on Elon Musk, bit of shitting on stupid ideas.
The Great War: started in 2014 doing week by week of the first world War, 100 years after it began. Now is doing a similar series on the second world War.
The Operations Room: breaks down historical military operations minute by minute, incredible level of detail.
Korean Englishman/ Jolly: Josh and Ollie a couple of British guys introduce korean food to people and on Jolly they go get into other foods and hijinks
Townsend: showing what life was like in early colonial America
Berd, danooct1, Huggbees, Hugh Jeffreys, Michael MJD, NileRed, Ordinary Sausage, Sam O'Nella (barely), Tapakapa
At least that's what I find great.
Too many to name. I'm easily on YouTube 2+ hours each day and there's not exactly lack of quality content
Posy, I am surprised at que quality of his videos, they are incredibly artistic
He posts infrequently but Sean Hodgins videos keep getting better. Don't let the thumbnails fool you, he puts a ton of work into them. It's hard to describe, it's mostly him showing off his projects but they have an analogue/80s cyberpunk feel in the way he tells his story, the music that's played, and how he edits the videos together.
Harry Mack. Greatest off-top freestyler ever (except maybe Juice WRLD, but that's apples and oranges). Folks are sad about the end of Omegle Bars, but I've always thought Wordplay Wednesdays is his best format.
A few I haven't seen show up yet:
A few comes to mind.
Ordinary Things is great and Michael Fisher is good and usually doesn't hype stuff up.

Would like to throw in Atomic Frontier, he makes on-location video essays about random science and engineering topics that are edited with great supporting infographics
XboxAhoy (The channel name is just Ahoy)
Late to this but I'll drop a niche list. They've all done fighting game content.
Haven't seen it listed so here I present..
My Mechanics
Swiss guy restores random stuff to better than new. Posts about 4 or 5 times a year, but the quality is up to 11
Crime Pays but Botany Doesn't
A low brow approach to botany and ecology through the ramblings of a crass Chicago Italian. Nowhere else will you find a full frontal milkweed pollination or see a San Francisco portapotty botanized.
