#45Joey's World Tour a rather obese, but extremely good natured and outgoing youtuber that absolutely stuffs his face during food reviews. Most of the video is him smacking while eating rather disgustingly. Some of his videos are the literal definition of gluttony. I love to watch his videos while cutting calories because it immediately makes me lose my appetite. I feel like such a bad person for doing this but it is ra…
I didn't think I would see another fan on Hacker News! Woo woo woo woo!

#46Japanese TV dumps - usually dumped by sketchy clickfarm channels and then quickly taken down. I don't speak or read Japanese but I still find them entertaining.

#47As of right now: Kpop. Last week I watched a video called 'Likey' by a Kpop group called Twice because a channel I'm subscribed to was reacting to it, and now I'm hooked. I thougth I wouldn't like it, but they seem so cute and happy, and I've found that watching their videos is (in my case) a good way to relieve stress after a long day of programming.

It's best not to know how the sausage gets made when it comes to K-pop.
Also good: Blackpink, G-Dragon, 2ne1, f(x), Bang Yongguk
And ReactToTheK has classical music students doing Kpop reactions, adding a bit of technical/music theory analysis.

#48I don't think it's that weird, but I love Binging with Babish https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCJHA_jMfCvEnv-3kRjTCQXw
He did lose some appeal by showing his face though :P

#49I am absolutely riveted when watching wet shaving (think old school brush lathering, safety razors, etc.) videos where guys just talk about their day and shave. I am also really into wet shaving - so I guess it isn't weird on that front. My partner initially thought it was weird though.
Two I would highly recommend:

#50Electronics and/or antique cars repairs, also urban exploration.
For electronics I would recommend Louis Rossmann (https://www.youtube.com/user/rossmanngroup/videos ), his videos are quite interesting regarding what's really happening in our machines at a lower level and what makes them tick. He also has really good advice (& rants) regarding life and business which is worth watching even if you don't care about the actual repairs themselves.
For old car repairs I watch https://www.youtube.com/user/mustie1/videos, what this guy is doing is really quite cool.
Also I do enjoy quite a lot of urban exploring videos (the good ones, not the CLICKBAIT GONE WRONG - usually if the title is in caps I don't even bother).
Other than that the usual pranks, fails (Fail Army), etc. Low quality I know but if I fall back to that this means I've exhausted my backlog of good videos and really don't care about what to watch anymore - I just need to kill time or to have some background noise going.
