Inspired by the opposite question posted recently, what YouTube creators have you watched for a long time and still find worth returning to? Alternatively, what are some new high quality channels you have been enjoying?

Most of my favourites have already been mentioned but here’s a few that I haven’t seen:
Chris Spargo - Documentarian ‘Answering life’s little questions’ (in his own words)
HowTown - Well researched, slick documentaries on science and sociology
Useful charts - Family trees and history combined with some nuanced religious history
Map Men - Somehow both an incredible geography channel and very funny skit show
ToldInStone - Regular and endlessly fascinating ancient history content
Captain Disillusionment - A one man special effects genius makes funny deep dives and debunks on special effects topics
Nile Red - Chemistry wiz kid makes alcohol from toilet paper - The closest thing to a modern alchemist I can imagine
Joel haver - Inventor the rotoscoped paint cartoon, funny, creatively driven and refuses to sell out
Patrick Boyle - Educated, nuanced and cuttingly dry humoured takes on popular economics issues
Steve Mould - High quality science demos and explanations with an engaging and humble host
I will second Map Men. Extremely well sourced and entertaining.
Jay’s brother Beardyman is a really unique musical artist I highly recommend
NileRed made alcohol from air a few days ago.
What I love about this video is not that he pulled it off (more or less), but that it helps illustrate just how hard it is to use atmospheric carbon for just about anything.
He makes chemistry look so cool, casual and interesting.
Though there are numerous other channels on YT (but I tend to forget nearly all of the names)
Some of them:
Just watched it! It’s amazing how much effort he goes to. Makes me appreciate how complex and expensive carbon capture and sequestration at any kind of scale must be.
think you meant Captain Disillusion
True 😅, but I can’t help but think he would approve of the mistake.
Love How town. They’re a fairly new channel but great content.
