LOVE the Hopeless Romantic Society recently. Jahad has truly perfected the "man on the street" formula, gives grace to the interviewee, and has a punchy, hilarious editing style.

Not many I follow too closely to be honest these days. I just did a big purge of a bunch of my subscriptions so there's only a handful now.

Gaming/Entertainment:

• Nextlander: General gaming; comprised of three ex-members of Giant Bomb (Vinny, Alex, and Brad).

• Mr. Samuel Streamer: Primarily focused on Rimworld and Crusader Kings, just an extremely witty guy that puts a lot of work into what he does. Often spends 8-9 hours in gameplay and editing to make a 30 minute episode, every day.

• Nilaus: Factory/automation games, like Factorio and Dyson Sphere Program.

• The Jimmy Dore Show: Semi-leftist, has liberal tendancies but is more political comedy than serious commentary, so I categorize him more as entertainment than political. I often don't agree with all of his takes, but the show can be good sometimes.

• CryptTV: Mini-horror episodes, often with a few recurring monsters. Really well done effects work.

Politics:

• Li Jingjing: China-based journalist, covers China and the global south as a whole. Does both serious stories and cultural/interest pieces. Great for somebody just interested in seeing more China without the anti-China rhetoric.

• George Galloway: Left-leaning talk show host, some reactionary tendancies but he does have a pretty good range of guests from time to time, including the above. He's been around for ages, very well established.

• The Deprogram: Leftist talk show and podcast.

That's kind of my entire subscription list at the moment, it has been cut down a lot recenty.

I'm into mystery and true crime stuff.

Lazy Masquerade - mix of mystery and true crime

Nick Crowley - Internet deep dives with horror theme

Nexpo - same as above

Wendigoon - conspiracies, mysteries, ARGs, GIANTS

Lore Lodge - probably the most objective mystery YouTuber

Lights Out Podcast - podcast for supernatural and true crime

Mr. Ballen - good primer for this kind of content, more of a storyteller than objective

Let's Read - narration of scary stories

Street Lamp Horror - same as above

Ripshy - same as above and smaller YouTuber

david bennett piano is a really cool music analysis channel

Caleb Hammer

He's like a millennial Dave Ramsey. Personal finance doesn't get enough attention and he makes good bingeable content that makes me want to save more.

Mic The Snare is a great channel talking about music. He uploads "Deep Discog Dives" where he goes into the discography of artists and does commentary talking about hot topics in music. His most DDD is Prince which is nearly 2 hours long (don't worry, most of his DDDs are less than 40 minutes long) and it was amazing.

LunaOi - Vietnamese communist YouTuber.

CathodeRayDude and Keybored

If you like cats and building things for cats this guy is amazing: https://www.youtube.com/@hahahaYouTube

It's a korean guy on a fish farm that started vlogging 7 years ago, and he had a lot of stray cats that he helped out, made food for, made sleeping spots etc. I think he became pretty popular in korean (1mil + subs), and he is now building more and more cool stuff for his cats.

IBIJ Anime - I‘m not that into anime, but these crossover vids are just amazing!

Vice Grip Garage Rescues old forgotten cars and manages to drive them home. He has his own style and I think you either like it or not. You can't deny his skill and ability to resurrect classic cars.

Here's a few channels I like that post interesting content if you're into retro stuff.

• Tech Tangents
• Michael MJD
• Anders Nielsen
• PCRetroTech
• ctrl-alt-rees
• Noel's Retro Lab
• GadgetUK164
• Adrian's Digital Basement

There's many more but these are the channels I highly recommend checking out.
