I like McNally on youtube. He's like The Lock Picking Lawyer with the agression setting turned up to 11.

I watch quite a bit of YouTube. Favorite channels right now (in no particular order):
Anders Erickson-cocktail recipes, tips and general banter Steve Wallis-relaxing camping videos Snazzy labs-tech/apple Becki and Chris-helicopters, photography, DIY MrMobile-phone reviews Rctestflight-all sorts of drone/3D printing/electric vehicle projects Digital Foundry-in depth technical game/console videos The Proper People - relaxing urban/abandoned exploration TheUnlockr-phone reviews/tech vlogs
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.
My subscriptions feed (food and science) is mostly channels Iβve been subscribed to for years now and theyβve all maintained their high quality or improved.
For food, Carla Lalli Music is an entertaining chef and recipe developer who shares recipes from her books. She takes inspiration from all sorts of cuisines and blends them into delicious, adaptable recipes. Crispy gingery ground beef like lime and herbs earned an instant spot in my regular meal rotation.
Claire Saffitz and her team bring mostly baking videos with occasion forays into cocktails, dinners, and lifestyle. Expect lots of cat cameos and fun editing easter eggs.
NYT Cooking has a good variety but their stars are Sohla and Ham El-Waylly, a wildly creative culinary power couple who can make a multi course tasting menu out of anything.
For all things science, basically anything out of Complexly Studios is worth your time. My personal favorite is SciShow Tangents. The various MinuteScience channels are great too (minutephysics, minuteearth, and minutefood ), and while the titles/thumbnails can feel a little bit clickbaity at times, the content is solid and informative.
Here is an alternative Piped link(s): https://piped.video/X5FltYLOZpE

Piped is a privacy-respecting open-source alternative frontend to YouTube.
I'm open-source, check me out at GitHub.
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.
I mostly watch high elo games of LoL, TFT, Chess. like @PekinWoof, @Bebe872, @Frodan and many more.
If you are into fishing, hunting, cooking, and a a bit of Southwest history check out Sin City Outdoors. They have family friendly content. For outdoor recovery Matts Off Road Recovery is good and Heavy D Sparks sometimes has great content if you donβt mind fast forwarding a bit.
For food/bbq a few that I like Guga Foods, Mad Scientist BBQ, First We Feast (hot ones), and Munchies.
Lots of good tech channels depending on your interests but here are a few smaller ones I like. Matt Moniz does good laptop reviews, Brandon Butch digs deep into every iOS release, All Things One Place only reviews power adapters and cables.
Learn Linux TV
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
I'm still enjoying the engineering and maker channels, along with a few other educational channels.
Scott the Woz (video games) and Patrick H Willems (films, but leans towards action)
Fall of Civilizations
I haven't seen this mentioned yet, but it's incomparably good (if stories about past civilizations is your thing).
Erin Parsons Makeup is my newest rabbit hole. A really neat look at makeup through history!
H3 podcast best show on the internet
