    kurzgesagt - Science & Education - I personally love their videos of nuclear technology and their videos such as “What if we nuked the moon?”

    I’m not doing links because I’m lazy, but I watch a lot of YouTube and these are my favorites:

    Ordinary Things - funny smarmy British dude explains ordinary things. Once a month or so, very high effort stuff.

    That Chapter - funny sarcastic Irish guy explains true crime things. Twice a week on a good week. Also high effort research

    Internet Comment Etiquette - this is not for you. Don’t watch it. You’ve been warned.

    LGR - the best legacy youtuber talks about the best legacy tech.

    Patrick Willems - funny American guy explains movie stuff.

    The Crafsman Steady Craftin - funny puppet man does crafts. This is the most high effort channel on YouTube.

    I don’t know these were posted or not but here is my suggestions which every youtube watching person probably already heard about most of them:

    Not Just Bikes: Channel about Urban Planing-Living and how destructive the cars are.

    History Matters: Short animated videos about historical events, narrated with humor.

    my mechanics: Best and most detailed restorations ever.

    NileRed - NileBlue: All about experimenting with chemical reactions.

    Oversimplified: Like the name, oversimplified narrations of historical events but in a long form with animated depictions and humor of course.

    Stefan Milo: Really informative research videos of archeology.

    The Linux Experiment: Like the name suggests it’s all about Linux.

    Bad Lip Reading: It’s in the name.

    ChrisFix: Best car repair channel out there.

    DIY Perks: DIY videos but heavy on the entertainment side rather than the doable diys.

    Ethan Chlebowski: Trying to understand cooking from the perspective of homecooks.

    Alex (the French Guy Cooking): Reverse engineering the recipes.

    Brick Experiment Channel: Building Lego machines.

    These all are high quality channels imo. There are a lot more but I am kinda lazy for now.

    This is a csv file of really high quality channels that you can directly use in Piped: Proton Drive Link to csv file

      RedLetterMedia has been my favorite channel for years now. They’re pretty big outside of the internet too, as I’ve worked with a couple fellow fans. The Mr Plinkett Star Wars Prequel reviews put em on the map, like what… a decade ago?

    Grand Illusions. A nice old man gently shows you all the cool stuff he’s collected. It’s fantastic calm and soothing entertainment.

    I’m mostly into educational channels:

    • CGP Grey (infrequent posting schedule, but really good when he does)
    • Minute Earth (Quick Earth science videos)
    • Minute Food (Quick food science videos)
    • Technology Connections (explains new and old technologies)
    • Kurzgesagt (general science with cartoon birds)
    • Mark Rober (over the top engineering)
    • The 8-bit Guy (retro computing and pc gaming)

    Then there’s “You Suck at Cooking” for silly, but good recipe videos.

    “Film Joy” for deep dives into films

    “Lock Picking Lawyer” to watch a guy pick any lock in a few minutes (addictive)

    Vlogbrothers has been a favourite for many years. They do so much good! And do lots of silly stuff too, like making a series of videos with titles taken from smash mouth’s rockstar 😀
