FortNine: both the content and the video quality are top notch.
TechnologyConnections is the only channel where you'll waste an hour nerding out on washing machines, even if you don't own one.
Louis Rossmann has been instrumental in the fight for right to repair in the US.

Good Mythical Morning/Mythical Kitchen.
They've maintained their high quality since even before YouTube and they hosted their own content.
Same with Cinemassacre (James Rolfe aka The Angry Video Game Nerd's channel). Er... If you can consider purposely being low-quality for B-movie nostalgia as actually high quality 🤔
I have subscribed to a few skateboard channels that I have followed for a long time. Not because of the tricks, because quite frankly, these guys are not the best skaters, but they make good content for old skaters like myself who don't care much about the latest tricks.
Ben Degros. Perhaps better known for his other channel The Vancouver Carpenter. Well, he's also a skateboard product connoisseur, who can smell the difference between different presses of deck concave and wheel sizes.
Jon Bishop. An old fart from UK who started skating at an old age and walks through all the basics and thoughs of beginner and intermediate tricks.
And obviously: The Skate Nomad. Mike Boisvert. A (relatively) young Canadian dude who quit everything and set out to live the dream of skateboarding in every country in the world, while couch crashing at locals the entire way. It's interesting to see the differences and similarities in cultures world wide from this perspective.

Interesting and genuinely amusing for about 15 years at this point.
They are great, I love their sponsored adverts moments also! Can't wait to read their new book, This way up.
Yep, literally the only time I watch a sponsor segment on YouTube, insane the effort they go through compared to other channels
No captain disillusion?!
He's the best. I'm just sad he publishes one video a year
What’s no captain disillusion all about?
Captain disillusion is an OG YouTube who never sold out but he also rarely puts out videos unfortunately. Extremely high quality stuff and if you just heard of him now you have a bunch of good videos to go watch now
If you like reviews/comparisons check out Project Farm.
Overly Sarcastic Productions, consistently producing animated essays about history, mythology, and story tropes
A channel that's missing here which I personally really like is TimeGhost history and their other channels World War Two and The Korean War. Their coverage of world war two in real time (which they finished already) was especially great. I'm not necessarily the biggest history nerd, but there's something quite enjoyable about following history "live" this way.

His quality had definitely fallen around the time he made his site. He would just upload videos of shitting on bad locks and using his own tools. I unsubscribed shortly after. I don't know if it's any better now, but originally he would upload a video when the video had something worthwhile to show.
Nah still the same, pushing his tools hard in every video.
Only the April Fool's videos are worth watching now.
This is the LockPickingLawyer, and today we have a-

Cambrian Chronicles. Obscure Welsh history documentaries with occasional whiplashes of dry humour. Not a super old channel but a marked increase in quality over time. Medieval Laws for Your Medieval Cat is a personal favourite.
I've been watching TheCrafsMan explain DIY techniques for almost a decade now.
The topics and explanations have always made for great videos but the effort put into videography and music has definitely skyrocketed as the channel grew. He's never strayed from the wholesome, zen-like tone or given clues about his real identity.
science based channels(research, discoveries), although you have to correct the info from time to time, so it doesnt sound like misinformation, occurs quite frequently with biology, phylogenitcs. influencer channels however degrade/decline over time, especially when they become annoyingly political.
i watch pbs eons, deep look, have to comment on them making mistake about species, phylogeny accuracy from to time. one time i commented on the "acoelomorph" video, and said they are unrelated to flatworms.

Nice to see Frank Howarth there. Those video are pure relaxation. Setting YouTube to Wellness-Mode even. And technology connections of course.
Michael Reeves. One video a year, making the dumbest most hilarious shit you can think of.
Ahoy. video game documentarian. Makes 1 or 2 very high quality videos a year and has done so for years.
Some more news is still as it ever was
