Here’s a list of some of mine which have < 1M subscribers who probably deserve more views
Red Letter Media! <3
(Yo, cake day lol)
Dust ups: growing a forest in the TX desert
Bamabass: rich pnut farmer essentially builds a bass pond but it spirals out of control and now he runs a beautiful wildlife sanctuary
Fabrats, trail mater, tom toms, RAD etc.
Aussie bonsai bloke
The only person I’ve ever supported on Patreon. And he just went back to doing YouTube full time. Which is awesome.
Primitive Technology. Guy in the jungle builds houses and makes pottery from scratch and I mean from scratch. He even gets into forging a little bit, made a crude iron knife from ore he collected himself.
The new blower he made is so facinating. The leaf as a valve is just so cool to see :D
obligatory note, that the channel has closed captions where he explains what he’s doing

Most of mine are videogame or car related, but here’s a few from across the spectrum of things I watch:
Aliensrock: Interesting streamer/YouTuber who primarily plays puzzle games and provides entertaining commentary.
ScrapMan: Plays lots of building/engineering games (mostly Scrap Mechanic and Trailmakers). Lots of silly multiplayer competitions and “engineering challenges”.
ItsJabo: Funny guy Streamer that plays Bethesda games with silly challenge runs. Also brings a bit of the chaotic energy.
Joov: same as above, but a bit more focused on telling a story throughout the challenge runs.
Aging Wheels: Eccentric guy that makes videos about eccentric cars. He’s quite funny and passionate which makes for good videos.
Superfast Matt: Engineer who makes ridiculous project cars that are good enough ™️. He’s made a land speed car, and recently an Off-road Dodge Viper.
Allen Pan: Inventor that makes a bunch of fun and silly projects sometimes based on stuff from TV shows and movies.
Incognito Mode: Especially the “In the Field” series. Basically an animated podcast where the Internet Historian and a guest talk about a variety of topics and come up with ridiculous scenarios.
Tasting History: Max Miller makes cool recipes from history whilst also giving a history lesson on the meal and its significance.
I love the humor of superfast matt :D
Steve Wallis - stealth camping and other adventures.
Tom Nicholas - video essays on politics, philosophy, and a variety of other topics
Steve is a great guy, super down-to-earth and just pleasant to follow in whatever he is doing.
A couple of atheism/philosophy channels that helped me focus on the positive aspects of my secular worldview, instead of merely being not theistic:
Made major improvements to my home cooking routine:
- Adam Ragusea. His podcast, which he stopped doing this year, is also worth a listen.
- Rainbow Plant Life. Vegan.
- Derek Sarno. Also vegan.
Culture & current events:
- Joan Westenberg. She just started a YouTube channel a couple days ago, but I’ve been subscribing to her newsletter for a few months and it’s great. Give her a follow on Mastodon, too: https://mastodon.social/@Daojoan
- Maggie Mae Fish Only just found this one, but seems well thought-out.
- Tara Mooknee Same here.
I like Legal Eagle (lawyer gives some good context for current events especially), Some More News (deep dives into social or political issues), and Plain Bagel (finance). I’m not a big YouTube person but these are literally the only three I’ll go check if they have new content.
iilluminaughtii causing her own downfall by trying to go after LE was nothing short of spectacular. Her channel’s completely dead now.
Kris Harbour Natural Building - Guy building a homestead in rural Wales. He does some cool hydropower stuff. Built his own house and workshop. He’s currently building a timber framed barn of his own design for his equipment and the animals he raises using lumber he milled on a band saw mill that he also built (and I think also designed). This stuff is all documented on his channel. Dude seems really chill and down-to-earth.
Quiet Nerd - cool projects all DIY
Camping with Steve - stealth camping wholesomeness
Londoneats - food delivery in London, weirdly fascinating
Bill McClintock Uri Tuchman Wristwatch revival Foureyes furniture BigClive dotcom
Some of my favorites: - Microwave Society (Film Reviews/General Comedic Commentary) - Lackadaisy (Imagine Prohibition but cats) - The Click (Reading reddit posts, mostly when I draw) - LGR (Old tech mostly with some random modern stuff mixed in) - Douglas (They do voxel engine devlogs, and I am impressed with their work) - Bringus Studios (They mostly modify various electronics)
The Try Channel. Super funny Irish individuals trying food & alcohol. https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCabq3No3wXbs6Ut-Pux6SzA/videos Kirsten Dirksen. She is a filmmaker that has many videos on tiny homes, micro apartments, sustainable gardening and so much more. She travels the world to film. https://www.youtube.com/user/kirstendirksen/videos
I love that most of the people from the original channel (I think it was Facts.) came back to the Try channel.
I love these people, I watch every video even if I hate the subject of it because sometimes it goes off the rails with humor.
