I’ve also been watching Tom Scott since he started, and love his content. I’ve put a few others that I enjoy below, that also produce what I consider to be high quality and entertaining content.

I'll add some: AlphaPhoenix - science Jay Foreman - UK centric cartography skits, very funny Atomic Frontier - various, Tom Scott style Climate Town - US centric climate related skits, very informative, also very funny Dr. Becky - astronomy Into Europe - light, EU related informative skits Johnny Harris - journalist turned YouTuber, opinionated but tries to keep a politically neutral stance

I do the same thing, but they just show me more garbage. My "subscriptions" tab is pretty good, though.

There seems to be a few topics which will cause your recommendations to spiral into conspiracy theory nonsense pretty quickly. Unfortunately you’ve got to be very careful with any gun content in YouTube as they almost always lead to bullshit in your feed.
