    This Old Tony. If you know you know. He’s sort of like Locksmithing Lawyer for machining.

    Sabine Hossenfelder. Physics and shit.

    Adam Savage Tested. You know.

    Perkins Brothers Builders. They build houses start to finish, two shows a week that follow their current build.

    Dale Philip. No BS travel vlogger. His backstory is he won $750K playing poker and decided to start a travel vlog.

      Sabine Hossenfelder went weird and started doing very assertive videos on things she clearly didn’t know much about. Her physics stuff seemed great (to my layperson’s viewpoint) but when she talked about things I knew it was always a bit off. Like reading New Scientist or something, once you read an article on your special subject and see how inaccurate it is, you assume the rest is shit too.

      Sabine Hossenfelder isn’t good.

      Angela Collier is the real deal. Her videos are very ranty and long but very good.

        Collier is clearly bright, but she also loves the sound of her own voice (granted, most YTers are in the same basket). Her tendency toward repetition gets tiring when 15-minute arguments become 40-minute videos.

          Yeah, en not everybody likes rants like that, but I discovered her channel through her 4h video on star trek picard so I’m armoured against the length 🤣. I listen to it while doing other things.

          And I’d rather have a youtuber who loves making videos because they love talking than a youtuber doing it for the fame/money. I like the authenticity of Angela Collier.
