Know this was a couple days ago, but here’s another great one you may enjoy:
The sequel masterpiece to Brother may I have some oats
May I present Steamed Hams but it’s a Critically Acclaimed Feature Film
Also check out Tasting History with Max Miller, that one’s a no brainer
Seconded on Tasting History. Plus if your new, theres a whole backlog to work through. I also enjoy Barry Lewis for mealtime vids. He does a lot of testing of products and viral video recipes.
yall eat with a youtube video playing instead of just staring into the void??
Check out this brave guy, just raw dogging the dark thoughts
Which reminds me OP, Joel Haver is another good one
Dude if my brain doesn’t have input it start a pros and cons list for self termination.
What if I make eye contact with what dwells beyond?
Nobody has ever done that before. You would be the first. Let us know what happens.
I made eye contact got nervous and looked away. That entity is probably making fun of me.
I hate how the main page is just to same videos reapeted over and over listed under different subjects.
The YouTube algorithm really sucks these days. You click on one video and that’s all it recommends to you until you break out of it by manually searching for something else.
I’ve recently been binge watching Midwest Safety videos. It’s like World’s wildest police chases but way better, and with bodycams.
They don’t publish much but USCSB videos are fascinating.
Food Wishes is a very old but consistently high quality, low chaff cooking channel.
Cave diver death stories are another favourite niche topic of mine.
Steve Mould, Stuff Made Here, Hyperspace Pirate and DIY Perks are quality science and tech video channels. I don’t know why I like watching videos of a fella making cryogenic coolers and liquid CO2 in his basement, but I do.
Clickspring is a great maker channel that feels like 20-40 minute long episodes of how it’s made (kinda)
He has playlists of his projects and he’s been making a period correct reproduction of the antikythra mechanism using the same bronze age tools of the ancient makers who created the original.
EEVBlog is fun if you know electronics and want to learn more. He does a phenomenal series on parts and pieces. He’s a layman’s wikipedia on “what’s an FPGA and why should I know?” As opposed to the more electrical engineering centric sources out there where you already need to know a lot to understand it. He’s entertaining and high energy (honestly he strikes me as someone with self managed bipolar or something. That’s the vibe I get since I’ve been friends with at least 4 others who present similar to Dave)
Tasting history, 18th century cooking, and table of the gods are both great historical cooking channels. Some of them will give the recipes for free for you to try at home.
Huygen’s optics is a channel run by a understated genius. He explains how optics and optical manufacturing works and he runs his own precision optics workshop in his basement. He once made a spirit bubble level for his pool table with an internal radius of like I’m (meaning it’s like carving a 15cm diameter circle out of a 16m wide sphere) so his level had like sub-arcsecond resolution iirc? A human hair underneath it would throw it off scale.
Applied Science is another amazing Science & engineering channel. He made his own back scatter computed tomography machine with a lazy Suzan, an X-ray tube, an Arduino, and a X-ray phosphorescence developer box/camera.
Search for old early 20th century TV shows and movies. You’ll find jillions of channels with an infinite amount of shows to watch.
The only youtube videos worth watching now are comedy, DIY/tech instruction, and similar documentary type content. It’s mostly fake BREAKING NEWS, speculation about SECRET stuff we were LIED TO about, and revelations of BANNED things. Apparently every classic movie had a BANNED ending that was BANNED.
Time to throw on a podcast and turn on a visualizer I guess lol
I keep steering this around. Is this a real thing? I have zero problems at all and, in fact, can’t even keep up with all the videos i want to watch.
depends on what you want to watch.
i agree with it. because I like high quality original content, and not a lot of that is produced on youtube. most channels i watch and enjoy only produce one video a week, or less. the stuff that produces daily videos, by contrast, is usually pretty schlocky with a ton of boring repetitive content repackaged for maximum engagement.
if you want a video of someone’s podcast full of lazy hot takes, sure you will never be disappointed. if you like stuff that is more analytical and synthetic and thoughtful, you are going run out really fast.
at this point I’m subscribed to over 4000 YouTube channels that I have all found very interesting so finding content is never a problem for me
cool.
Not sure why you’re trying to make a subtle dig at whatever content i like to watch, but that’s rude.
Skill issue
Hey if you like the human made equivalent to slop we won’t stop you.
But it’s still slop. Just be honest about it.
Yes, please jump onto shitting on me for someone elses false assumptions lmao
Show us your true colors!
it’s not about you.
but it’s funny you think it is.
It came across that way before you edited your comment. You didn’t have to include anything about what other people watch at all but it’s clear you need to let other people know that you’re better than them.
I’m sorry I hurt your feelings for enjoying something you don’t enjoy. Must be difficult to go through life taking offense to other people’s preferences not matching yours.
Keep wasting your time and energy replying. I’m off work tonight!
I love that you plainly illustrate that you don’t even know what the problem here is. Are you actually that clueless?
Yeah the problem is you are offended someone else is different than you and has different preferences and usage patterns.
It’s ok. You’re a normal lemmy user. If you were a mod I’m sure you ban me for my ‘problematic’ comments.
I have a few video games- hearthstone, Mario maker, Balatro- so I just queue up an unwatched from the content creators I like
This is honestly a sad truth. :( It now takes so long to find a good one the food would go cold.
For me it’s music while I work. I am subscribed to a lot of labels and producers and indie music featuring channels, but ever since the emergence of AI I think even they are all struggling to sort through the bullshit and post new tracks.
Recently I have been using Deezer to play 30s song teasers and then finding the same song on YouTube.
Eventually I plan to leave YouTube behind but I don’t think the alternatives are quite there yet.
Eater Mise en Place was a banger lunch series to watch during COVID.
Youtube is gradually making itself unusable. It’s not even just enshittification (although obviously it is that too), it’s just fucking stupid.
