Explosions&Fire and its sister channel ExtractionsAndIre

The person who makes these science videos does it in such an entertaining and funny way that you forget that it's a science channel. He uses homemade tools and chemicals to make explosions and fire and SO much more…

The best part is that he puts his videos up, no matter if he fails or not. In fact, he fails more times than not on ExtractionsAndIre. I've been watching him for years and years, and any day that he posts a new video is a wonderful day.

Undoubtedly, he's been my inspiration to muddle through chemistry experiments without the proper background nor proper safety equipment.

Kitboga’s my touchstone

Ashens has been the most stable and consistent thing in my life since 2008.

Lindybeige Loyd enjoying himself thoroughly

We're certainly spoiled with the amount of wonderful videos people are out there making!

Fundie Fridays puts out enjoyable, quality content. They're is a little more "low budget" but good quality and they discuss right-wing extremism and Christian fundamentalism.

I'd argue that none can claim to be high quality if they use tons of ads. I just can't stand this sort of thing, and YouTube's own paid system doesn't block them all.

This said, my (free) adblockers currently work, and they block the sponsored stuff as well. When they work, I still really enjoy Kurzgesagt videos. They are excellent.

Some big ones have been mentioned here, but to fill in some I think were missed: Gamer's Nexus (best example of ethical tech journalism out there, been the source of some major exposés in the tech industry); Overanalyzing Avatar (Gives honest takes with a unique and humorous perspective on the ATLA and related series); SortedFood (British cooking show with a focus on avoiding food waste by a bunch of friends, a few of whom are Michelin chefs); Spiffing Brit (Exploits and breaks games in a hilarious fashion, genuinely brilliant, loves tea); ZeFrank (Animal TrueFacts channel); Potato McWhiskey (I hope you like Civ VI, one of the best players out there); Viva La Dirt League (Does live skits based on video game and employment tropes); Ididathing (Guy makes wacky but insanely dangerous contraptions); NileRed (Bonkers brain here, has actually turned Paint Thinner into Cherry Soda and other ridiculous chemistry) .

I'm a big fan of illwillpress foamy forever.
