I started to watch shoe shine videos to lull me to sleep ever since the lockdown in March. https://www.youtube.com/c/JasonDornstar/videos
This is the strangest and most satisfying discovery in a bit.

Re: Ask HN: What YouTube channels do you subscribe to?
#23Am I the only one who does not subscribe to a single youtube channel on any of my accounts? My theory is that once you've watched a few of the videos you're interested in, the YouTube algorithm curates a list for me which I can continue watching. I do not want to be notified or otherwise informed of every video a channel publishes.
By default you don't get "notifications", it just puts any new videos from those channels into your "Subscriptions" page.
I subscribe to 200+ channels, not because I want to see every video from all of them but because it generations a "Subscriptions" page full of content I know has already proven to be to my taste, because I find all the "front page" content on YouTube to be absolute crap.
YouTube has an incredible amount of legitimately interesting content but it's on smaller channels buried by clickbait/fake-drama/lowest-common-denominator stuff, so subscribing to the good channels you find is the only way to find the needles in the haystack.

What a privileged and humorless viewpoint. Guess there's not much of a "something is better than nothing" vibe here. I still stand by my unformatted ascii dump. But then again maybe I'm not as traumatized from data formatting as others.

You literally dumped a list of YouTube channels without any semblance of what they are. Who has the time to go through that wall of text?
