I haven't seen it mentioned but I enjoy channels like Solo Solo Travel - slow-TV style videos about public transportation. What food can you get on a first class flight from Tokyo to Australia? All the videos have zero commentary unless you turn on the subtitles.
I enjoy them a lot because they're very relaxing and make me feel very cozy.
I really enjoy Calum's work on obscure vehicles, shipping containers, and stuff like that: https://www.youtube.com/@CalumRaasay
Mustard has other fun vehicles, often with a focus on aircraft: https://www.youtube.com/@MustardChannel
David Hilowitz does fun stuff with musical instruments (finding them, sampling them, stuff like that): https://www.youtube.com/@DavidHilowitzMusic
I love wargaming miniatures and basically the only channel I watch on the subject is Eric's Hobby Workshop: https://www.youtube.com/@EricsHobbyWorkshop
Love David Hilowitz, he's got such a consistent style
Do yourself a favour and watch Ed Pratt Unicycle around the world. This is one of my favourite things on YouTube, watching him go from just a kid with a weird dream to a great filmmaker and experienced traveler in such an authentic way. Highly recommended
JustBackgroundNoise - morrowind challenges
PatricianTV - Extremely long format game reviews (elder scrolls, world of warcraft and more)
RealLifeLore - Geopolitics
My recommendation for travel would be 'Bald and Bankrupt', in particular I loved his whole Russian/Ex-Soviet Union series.
For documentaries, I do enjoy the 'Down the Rabbit Hole' documentaries. They did a great one on Terry A. Davis a few years back
The soviet Union series was great, but anything I watched after that was boring to be honest.
Hochelaga, Horses, Real Science, ContraPoints, Knowing better
For stuff about films, I like 'Thomas Flight' and 'Like Stories Of Old'. LSOO has just released a video about Gladiator II that I'm going to watch in a bit (I'm hoping he hated it as much as I did!)
Hakim, Mental Outlaw, Second Though , Alice Capelle, The Hated One
MLiG
For history, I really like Premodernist. It's just a history professor telling you history. It's great because he's a good storyteller and he actually knows the subject.
I enjoy efap which is probably the longest form, especially Mauler, the others are generally better in a mixed crowd. It's movies and Internet drama for the most part.
Vice grip garage.
