I don't know if this applies, but my favorite YouTube channel is The Great War:

https://www.youtube.com/user/TheGreatWar

They post weekly videos following what happened exactly 100 years ago during WW1(so it's halfway through) and get very detailed and informative, since starting they have also expanded to include a bunch of specials on the parties involved, major characters of the war, and answering questions from their social media channels.

There is some speculation that they follow up a similar format for the 80 years of WW2 in two years but since there's so much more material I guess they need way more funding and research.

Other than the ones already mentioned:

- Sirajology - walkthroughs of building basic AI applications

- Tom Scott - Interesting infrastructure and nerdery

- Jay Foreman - Infrastructure and Government, with more absurdity and singing

- CGP Grey - weirdnesses of politics and political systems. I find the joint implications of his videos Humans Need Not Apply and Rules for Rulers interesting

- Geography Now! - basic intros to countries in alphabetical order.

- Xidnaf - linguisic and etymological geekery

- Historia Civillis - History, mostly Roman and Greek

- Extra Credits/History/SciFi - video game and literature analysis as well as historical narratives

- the vlogbrothers empire is vast and varied. You’ll discover a bunch from there.

Open Question: Does anyone know any good channels about textile engineering and clothing history? Perhaps with a side of fashion design and supply chain management?

Binging with Babish does extraordinarily detailed recreations of tv/movie dishes - even the ones that sound fucking horrible to eat.

I agree with this one, the content creator uses a variety of techniques which is quite interesting to watch to.
