YouTube Channels

bump and here is another great one.
JoergSprave dude builds more and more powerful slingshots and other weapons,

Looking through this thread, RIP SuperBestFriends

my favorite lesser known channels atm
Bad Obsession Motorsport - on going 6 year project to rebuild a Mini.
Acorn To Arabella - on going 3 year project to build a ship from the ground up
Sampson Boat Co - on going 2 year project to rebuild a sailing ship
Tips from a Shipwright - he has 2 seasons out, built a working skiff and a sport dory, along with other tips, looks like a new season is about to start after a year of nothing.

One reasonably popular channel that might appeal to people here that I haven't seen mentioned is Lindybeige:

Basically an older nerd that does history, medieval combat re-enactment (and for some odd reason) dancing. Maybe a good place to start is the short series where he (with guidance) forges a sword with hand tools. Very down to earth, doesn't try to appear to be smarter than he is.

A football hooligan is violent white trash who pick fights at football matches.

Sargon isn't white trash, isn't violent and doesn't seem into football. He is raising his wife's son though, making him a cuck. He also did embarrass himself on national TV at least three times.

But he called for a return to high seas privateering too, so it's a mixed bag.

Interesting Necro. I was looking for some new channels a few months back.

Here are some more educational type channels that I try to keep up with:

History:

Historia Civilis - Mostly focused on Rome, and Roman Culture


BattleBaz - Mostly focused on Medieval Battles, with some modern, and some Japanese thrown in.


King and Generals - Generally battle focused with a strategic view of events leading up to it, throughout history, from modern Arab - Israeli conflicts to the ancient empires before Alexander


American Battlefield Trust - Battles on American soil (got to hunt for the mini Docs for various battles, like the one below)

Historigraph - WW1 & WW2 (mostly)- Small channel, slow to put out videos

Astronomy:

Space Time - A whole bunch of Astrophysics stuff (mostly) - overwhelming amount of (dry) content


Music:

Rousseau - Scrolling piano videos, mostly classical, some modern renditions on Piano


Misc:

Tom Scott - Hard to categorize, I guess its: Randomly explaining or talking about technical things, mostly (also did the serious side of the video Adebisi linked)

Yeah, that one hurt. Thankfully, they're all still doing their own things on Youtube and/or Twitch. So, may as well add them to the list:

Pat puts his Twitch stream recordings up on Youtube under Pat Stares At.

Matt's at Matt McMuscles.

Woolie's at WoolieVersus.

And Liam puts his stream recordings up at Rising Superstream.

I don't watch much of Liam nowadays, but I watch the other guys to a greater or lesser degree. Pat and Woolie both do fun LPs, and Matt's been doing an interesting series called 'What Happened?' where he looks at the flaming craters of game development history and explains, well, what happened.

May as well also toss in Pat's girlfriend, Paige, who puts up her stream recordings at PeachSaliva. Pat's usually on there as well, and they've got an entertaining dynamic.

Since Lindybeige got brought up, I may as well bring up a couple of my favorite history channels:

I think I mentioned him on a previous post here way back when, but Matt Easton's channel Scholagladiatoria is great. He's a HEMA (historical european martial arts) instructor, antiques dealer, and all-around historical arms and armor nerd, and does videos on historical weapons. He's somewhat specialized on 19th-century european swords, but he's done videos on just about anything that could be labeled "pre-modern weapons".

I'll also mention Modern History TV. He's focused on medieval history, and does videos on all aspects of medieval life.

didn't know about working in finance, just assume he inherited a bunch from his dad. didn't the land come his wife's parents or something?
anyway, i noped out when every other vid was amazon or sponsored product review and he stopped working fires. he has to be making a shit ton with amazon links.

wranglestar has shilled out, do not watch

i watch his reviews still and yeah he has gone way more mainstream than ever, i dont think his videos are monetized anymore so he keeps the money train rolling by doing product placements disguised as reviews. Ave roasts the fuck out of him for doing this and not giving the proper credit that these are paid content commercials. which can also be a tax violation if its not being reported.

youtube has changed a bit over the last few years. the dudes have sold out and the girls have became thots. all to maintain their level of income.
