#2I started playing around with the youtube api to find just that. They only give you so many free search credits so you have to be careful with which calls you make. And in what order. I found the best way is to search for keywords like:
https://github.com/andrewarrow/many-possible-worlds/blob/mai...
then call get channel from the channel_id returned in the search:

#3That totally depends on what you're looking for. Some of my favorites are
- Primer (academic subjects)
- Linking your Thinking (tutorials for Obsidian)
- Stuff Made Here (Entertaining and impressive robotics projects)
- a life engineered (all sorts of career advice stuff)
- Reducible (animations of CS subjects)
- ByteByteGo (short and informative videos about system design)
- Wolfgang's Channel (all sorts of home networking/selfhosted videos)
- Jack Rhysider (entertaining and informative podcasts about cyber security and cyber crime)
- Dark History (disaster documentaries)

#6https://www.youtube.com/@getoffmylawn6692 is an upcoming channel which covers many obscure DOS games. It's cool to see old games which are usually made by one or two people.
It's also one guy who posts 5 times a week and has ~2000 subscribers, which IMO makes it deserve views on its own
