Johnny Harris just released a video on the history of the Mormon Church.

As an exmormon, it is awesome to see stuff this high quality from someone with the same perspective as me. I'll link the video: https://youtu.be/hUW7j9GmXjI

A lot of great recommendations in the tread and I don't have much to add but for something a little different, here are my suggestions :

DayDream Gaming - Cool and/or relaxing walks through game worlds like Skyrim, Cyberpunk 2077, horseback riding in RDR, etc.

dulevoz - Cabview train rides full of cool details like the number of tunnels, elevation, engine types, etc. You don't need to be a train nerd, try it, it's absolutely fantastic and relaxing!

Virtual Railfan - Live cams at famous railroad crossings, just for the fun of watching trains go by or watch the scenery

StreamTime Live - live cams at various harbours in the US

M. B. Archives - Commentary tracks from various movies (the latest being The French Connection, rip William Friedkin)

I don't watch a ton of YouTube anymore, but when I do it's usually the likes of techtubers and gaming creators that incorporate humor with a few "I create dumb stuff for the internet" type channels mixed in.

I'll list few of my favorite channels, with Piped links of course :)

DankPods, Alpharad, Failboat, I did a thing, Bobby Duke Arts, maxmoefoePokemon, Michael Reeves

Probably missed a few but that's most of them.

I watch LBRY (I use it directly and bypass odysee btw)

For youtube I proxy it through piped

Fall of Civilizations

I haven't seen this mentioned yet, but it's incomparably good (if stories about past civilizations is your thing).

I watch a few, but the first worthy one that comes to mind is TBSkyen.

I love Outside XBox (they do more than Xbox content) And Outside Extra. I think its the best short-form gaming variety content there is

Yeah youtube has massive amounts of good content. The only downside is that it's owned by google.

Some of my favs in alphabetical order:

Anton Fomenko

Jet Lag: The Game

I'm still enjoying the engineering and maker channels, along with a few other educational channels.

I mostly just use it to find new music.

There's a couple of cooking channels I keep an eye on, a bit of tom scott and contrapoints/shaun/etc - but mainly just music.

No, I don't have or want spotify. I like music videos, and I like being able to easily skip through and sample fragments of songs, rather than just have them on in the background.

I like casual gaming videos, and often watch Mr. A Game and QuinBoBin, particularly their Zelda videos.

I also enjoy a good analysis, so Cinema Therapy is my go-to.

I have young children in the house, so it can be hard to find entertaining videos that don't have bad language that I don't want parroted back to me.

I mostly watch high elo games of LoL, TFT, Chess. like @PekinWoof, @Bebe872, @Frodan and many more.

Learn Linux TV

I watch some science and education channels, programming related. Notable channels are

• Louis Rossmann
• The mad watch collector
• Kyle Hill
• Tom Scott
• LTT
• Watchfinder
• Just one more watch
• Captain Disillusion
• EEVblog & 2
• SAMTIME
• Nexpo

Anything else that looks interesting, Car histories, movie/TV reviews

Stop Skeletons From Fighting.

Video game channel with absolutely top tier writing, production, and presentation that stacks up against the biggest channels out there, but it's from a team of only 2 people. The host is super likeable and entertaining. No low effort click bait videos. Criminally underrated with only 330k subscribers. I know that's still a lot, but they easily have 1m+ sub potential.

The "punching weight" series about ambitious and wacky titles/peripherals are my favorite. They also have some super well researched video game history videos that are great.
