However, this changes life in a negative way. It’s not just that YouTube is pumping out more videos that you would enjoy, it’s that YouTube is now pumping out more video content than you can watch which is vitally important. You have no choice but to be watching YouTube in your free time. It makes you a slave to the video feed. Not because you’re addicted, but because it’s the most effective way to build your information web. The economics demand that you be watching all the time. It’s another step in the direction of people being hacked into the matrix hive mind all the time because without the matrix hive mind one will only be left behind.

Of course this is Youtube, so anybody who blindly copies anything there is asking for trouble.
Numberphile and Computerphile : maths and computer topics. I learned all about the Enigma machine on there. Standupmaths with Matt Parker, inventor of the famous "Parker Square" Ben Eater : Electronics, breadboards, computer logic. Astronogeek (in French) : astronomy. He also debunks UFO and crop circle stuff.
Example: There was a video about dithering not so long ago which basically boils down to "Well, if 2 of 2 pixels are black you perceive it as black, and if there is 0 of 2 black, it's white, and in between it's gray ..." The actual methods used (e.g. Floyd, Stucki etc.) and how they work? Not really.

Electroboom is very entertaining and knowledgable, but it bugs me that he purposely shocks himself almost every episode. His safety practices are terrible. I get that that's part of the joke, and as long as you know it's a joke, fine. But somebody who doesn't get the joke and tries to copy him could get hurt. Of course this is Youtube, so anybody who blindly copies anything there is asking for trouble.
Louis Rossman https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCl2mFZoRqjw_ELax4Yisf6w Routinely shows bench scope detail of him doing circuit troubleshooting and replace of "no user serviceable parts" modern surface mount Apple stuff, but in the process shows good heart and entertaining moxie. EEVBlog (David L. Jones) https://www.youtube.com/user/EEVblog Likes to take things apart and people send him things, but he is a great teach…
I do not recommend Louis Rossman. Instead of learning, you’ll listen to endless hateful anti-Apple rants, deceitful personal attacks and unsubstantiated speculations of how terrible Apple engineers are - the whole community is cultish and they love listening to LR just about anything. I despise his channel and his popularity.

Apple engineers are first rate also, but they've been dis-incentivized to do anything that would make affordable component level repair part of the life cycle, its parts distributed widely enough to be accessible, and technicians (factory trained or otherwise) capable, Unless this corporate approach FAILS spectacularly in the end, the human race is heading into a cul de sac of evolution by having its most essential technologies hanging by tiny threads. Some day Apple will decline and their newer technology will all be in the landfill... and Rossman will still be repairing last-generation boards.
But... by failing to make things repairable and removing whole customer care layers from their business plan, Apple has managed to bring prices down! That's a joke BTW
Earlier quoted context omitted.
This is just mean-spirited and exaggerated. Why not just make your recommendation and move on?
It isn't mean spirited at all. It's observations based on his videos the past 1-2 years. He also has pretty blah production quality with rough edits, often terrible lighting, lots of rambling, more oft than not questionable (at best) safety practices, when he's doing chemistry he never has proper safety equipment etc. Unlike NileRed that has fantastic lighting, proper ventilation, obviously at least partially scripts…
