I just found this channel and I'm amazed at how technical and well researched everything is: Tech Ingredients

The best thing is that he repeats experiments to verify the concepts he is exploring. It seems to still be in its infancy, it could benefit from practical improvements, such as including links to parts, as well as professional video editing, but the content is really strong.

My all time favorites:

Isaac Arthur - Futurism (A must for any Sci-fi fan)

Astrum - Astronomy (easy astronomy!)

Redlettermedia - Film reviews (Rambling. Incredibly bad puns. Acquired taste)

Baldandbankrupt - Amazing travel blog

Videogamedunkey - Game reviews (and occasionally a song)

Food Busker - Food (recipes & learning about different types of food like Ramen / Beef etc)

Bonus:

RaggtagGamer - Apex Legends Gutter-tier gamer (since you mentioned apex)

AvE - very intelligent and humorous guy who tears down tools and explains how they work. Probably my favorite channel.

Edge Precision - heavy duty CNC machinist https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCCkSr3M8GXbS4txqPY7OMxQ

Essential Craftsman - construction, tools, etc. Has a great new series where he is walking through the entire construction of a home, dubbed the "spec house" https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCzr30osBdTmuFUS8IfXtXmg

Frank Howarth - woodworking https://www.youtube.com/user/urbanTrash

Matthewmatosis - long-form video game analysis https://www.youtube.com/user/Matthewmatosis

NurdRage - incredibly interesting high level chemistry (to me at least). Has a really great series where he finds a new way to make Sodium Metal. https://www.youtube.com/user/NurdRage

RR Buildings - post-frame construction, tool reviews https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCWXEQsK3UiHszjwgGN5HUeQ

This Old Tony - machining, welding. Very funny! https://www.youtube.com/user/featony

Vancouver Carpenter - mostly drywall tips. Offers very clear explanations of how to do various drywall jobs https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCbZdXox6mKHdcT2QdVT-goQ

I too can vouch for Tech Ingredients! Fantastic channel with some really interesting experiments on there.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

And if you're into political stuff and want to actually have your views challenged instead of reinforced, on top of Philosophy Tube I'd also recommend: ContraPoints, Some More News, Shaun, Innuendo Studios, Three Arrows.

I've seen at least some of most of those, but given my views, those would mostly reinforce them.

Fair enough. I've used that term because I wanted to represent them as left-leaning "saviors" (as in, opposition to PragerU, Shapiro, JBP, Crowder, and the rest of the shit on YouTube that only reinforces bigotry) without my comment getting flagged.

A very general question there because stuff can be so many things!

Try:

Boris (search: boris kvass) this guy cooks Russian food, and is quite funny.

Except TypeError: Then I suggest Herbert Gross teaching Linear Algebra at MIT (they dont have such teachers anymore).

I also like the charming Python lady at Socratica.

And if you want to learn about Islam (and not the fake narrative imposed by MSM) Mufti Menk is a good source. You can learn about who Moslems really are, as opposed to the propaganda that is going on now with the "terrorism" circus.

Finally, Talos Principle game walkthrough by Derek Banas is good fun if you are into logic and games.
