What are some quality YouTube channels that you recommend?
Kind of tired watching trash from YT.
Edit: Thanks for all the replies. It’s good to see that there are still gems in YouTube.
RanchOnPancakes, 
Internet Comment Etiquette with Erik www.youtube.com/
Incognito Mode www.youtube.com/channel/UC8Q7XEy86Q7T-3kNpNjYgwA

massive_bereavement, 
If someone had to watch just one Incognito Mode video, I would recommend "future, followed by the second part in JonTron's channel.
jcit878, Shiey (urbex, train hopping exploring)
Steve Wallis (stealth camping)
Nerd of the Rings (LOTR lore)
Anton Petrov (science mainly astrophysics)
Megaprojects and any of Simon Whistlers channels
those are just some of the bigger ones I follow heaps of smaller niche channels too
Monologue, 
shiey is amazing!
Olgratin_Magmatoe, Atomic Shrimp - He’s got a huge variety of content. Scam baiting, cooking, his weird stuff in a can series, nature stuff. Absolutely lovely fellow.
catastrophicblues, James Hoffmann - for anything about making great coffee at home
The Food Theorists - Interesting content about food, especially in their older videos
Doctor Mike - entertaining but useful medical information
HatchetHaro, 
EthosLab. He is my favourite YouTuber, and has been for over 10 years now. He’s super chill, and his Minecraft videos always make me happy. Sure, other channels may have more content or more entertainment value, but when it comes to sheer vibes, Etho is unmatched.
Vaggumon, 
DIY/WOODWORKING
RETRO TECH, COMPUTERS, & GAMING
D&D & TTRPG STUFF

FOOD & COOKING
OTHER STUFF
mohKohn, all your links are rendered as just www.YouTube.com btw
Vaggumon, That’s strange, they all work fine for me. Just double checked and each one opens the correct channel on YouTube.
revlayle, I literally just found genxgamer a week ago and love it. Ashens, 8bitguy and Techmaon I have followed for years
Wish nostalgia nerd would make more videos tho, he kinda dropped off recently.
Vaggumon, I found GenXGamer like maybe 2 months ago, and it’s been great. Same for me with the others, been following for years. I think Nostalgia Nerd is busy with the arcade pub he’s building. But yeah I miss his content.

Vaggumon, Good call.
vettnerk, My subscriptions:
- Cathode Ray Dude (placed him on top, because he deserves it. Loads of tech stuff that goes really into the nuts and bolts of it all)
- Practical Engineering
- Lazerpig (not for everyone, but check out the WW1 tank videos to see if it suits you)
- Jay Foreman / MapMen
- Tom Scott
- Kurzgesagt
- Lemmino
- Lord Hardthrasher (kind of similar to lazerpig)
Jikiya, You should look up Ordinary Things. And once or twice a year Internet Historian puts out a new video.
257m, Numberphile/Computerphile - Great videos with fantastic hosts.
Etterra, If you like artists and nonsense comedy to distract you from reality, I highly recommend Drawfee
Content Warning: M (Millennials)
yardy_sardley, To add a few I haven’t seen mentioned yet:
- jon bois
- knowing better
- folding ideas
- Todd in the shadows
- I did a thing
- legal eagle
- internet historian
And a few more which I think are great but YMMV depending on your particular interests:
- city planner plays
- historia civilis
- junkyard digs
- tech ingredients
- Scott Manley
- BobbyBroccoli
- summoning salt
tl;dr: if you only pick up one name from all these comments, let it be jon bois. He’s made some of the most compelling content I’ve ever seen, especially the “pretty good” series. Money back guarantee, you will not be disappointed.
tl;dr for real: jon bois, climate town, electroboom.
gloomytabby, +1 for climate town
HootinNHollerin, 
Timeline - remember when history Channel was awesome? It was all timeline documentaries
Odyssey - ancient history documentaries
Steve Mould - engineering and how things work
Crux - news (mostly concerning the war in Ukraine) that is subtitles w music background
100thCatMarch, 
- Nino's Home - Easy desserts and snacks recipes
- Historical Italian Cooking - self-explanatory
- Tasting History with Max Miller - historical recipes recreated
- toldinstone - Historian explains common Ancient Roman questions
- JustOneCookBook - Japanese recipes
- Kommander Karl - NPC skits

cll7793, NileGreen is also great! YouTube keeps censoring them though
stebo02, 
Viva La Dirt League if you’re looking for short but hillarious videos. I also quite enjoy Foil Arms and Hog, Daniel Thrasher and Chris Hallbeck
Kurzgesagt and CGP Gray for general easy to understand science.
Numberphile, Stand-up Maths and 3Blue1Brown if you are into math facts and stuff and computer science. Also minutephysics for physics.
If you like Minecraft, you must check out all the members of Hermitcraft.
That about sums up my subscription list.
count_duckula, 
stebo02, i watched a few of their videos too! good stuff, though a bit more advanced than what I’m used to
7u5k3n, Steve Wallis - camping with Steve
Super wholesome - great dude. Enjoys camping in… Non traditional spots.
First video I watched was him camping in the middle of a roundabout (traffic circle). Good times.
Thorny_Thicket, The video about his wife fucking broke my heart
