Probably not what you're searching for, but youtube is full of recordings of tech talks and I watch them all the time. If I want to hear about a particular topic I'll just search for the topic or " talk", but I also have a few channels related to conferences and things like that bookmarked. They're only useful once a year, but it saves me from searching randomly when I don't have anything particular in mind: GOTO Conferences, Jane Street (they recently started uploading videos of talks they host at the company), Strange Loop, Curry On!, PapersWeLove, CppCon, InfoQ, Racket Lang, ICFP.

Other than that:

Super Bunnyhop (videogames, very interesting investigative journalism every now and then) https://www.youtube.com/user/bunnyhopshow

Leonardo Da Sidci (videogames, amazing production quality and very introspective topics) https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCujjLOPLW92zVBlhaL8wxPg

Archipel (short documentaries focused on japanese creators and artsy videos) https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC3zoY9LapZERsN7caDKqz0w

Noclip (long form documentaries about videogames, mostly made up by interviews directly with the developers) https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC0fDG3byEcMtbOqPMymDNbw

byoblu (italian "videoblog" about politics featuring lots of interviews and discussions, always to be taken with a grain of salt) https://www.youtube.com/user/byoblu

Then, a lot of comedy channels of dubious value which I'd rather not embarrass myself with on here.

This may be an unpopular opinion, but none. Maybe it’s because I haven’t really used YouTube much, but there seem to be very few content producers that deliver content which is based on any form of scientific methodology or even any form of real journalism. I can quickly find a ton of “documentaries” on Ancient Rome for instance, and I have watched quite a few. I happen to have made the rare mix of CS and history whe…

I love that Primitive Technology is enjoyed by the non-Youtube crowd.
