Seeing the other post here about YouTuber that went downhill and seeing content creators I am familiar with makes me sad. But how about those that still makes great, high quality content?

    Summoning Salt.

    Not many people can make a 2 hr video about the world record progression of a game I’ve never heard of and have me absolutely invested in it all the way through.

    Dude makes a video every 3-6months but god I love them. If anything they’ve improved over the years as his style has been refined and the videos got longer.

    Makes great visual math videos. Without him I would have never studied electronics.

    Haven’t seen Summoning Salt mentioned yet. He does great videos on the history of speed running a video game.

    An example video would be Super Mario Bros: The Human Limit where the difference between a tool assisted speed run and what a human is capable is discussed. And how Super Mario Bros has an interesting mechanic allowing humans to be imperfect but still able to tie a perfectly executed speed run done using essentially a script of commands.

    Lemmino creates amazing documentaries about a wide variety of topics (DB Cooper, JFK Assassination, Jack the Ripper). He uploads very infrequently, but it’s totally worth it when he does.

    Barely Sociable is similar in style and uploads high quality pieces about various mysterious occurrences.

    Drachinifel uploads frequent, well researched content about naval history from the age of sail to the 1950s.

    Our Own Devices is a very small channel that feels similar to Technology Connections (another excellent channel). He uploads content about the history and inner workings of old devices of all sorts.

    Throttle House is the best car channel on YouTube.

    Jason Cammisa’s Revelations series on the Hagerty channel has really good deep dives into the histories of some important cars.

    Aging Wheels/Under Dunn are excellent car and/or wood project channels. Chickens make frequent appearances too.

    Mentour Pilot has excellent analysis of airline crashes.

    Jay Foreman uploads funny and informative content about maps (Map Men) and tidbits about the history of London.

    Cathode Ray Dude uploads deep dives into weird computers, computer peripherals, and old cameras. I’ve watched his half hour video about modems at least 5 times.

    Mustard uploads excellent content about crazy ideas in transportation (like the Soviet love affair with the ekranoplan).

    He’s mastered the bronze age and is making progress on the iron age, all by himself.

    Science + Technology

    • Applied Science - In depth videos about random science-y things this dude finds interesting. No clickbait, just an excited dude talking about a project he tried.

    • Atomic Frontier - A lot like Tom Scott. He’s also a rare case where the video is more interesting than the title/thumbnail. Generally focused on science-y topics + has shockingly high production value considering the dude seems to be an overworked college student.

    • NileRed/NileBlue - Crazy in depth chemistry videos. Personally find NileBlue more entertaining as he tends to explore things he’s not that great at.

    • Practical Engineering - Explanations of various civil engineering concepts.
