Do you still watch YouTube? Who do you follow?
Do you still watch YouTube? Who do you follow?
It seems that everything turned into scams, aggressive self marketing and just click bait irrelevant content. I liked finance videos, but every creator sounds like "the world will end soon" or "my secret method to make 1 million per week day trading stocks/forex/crypto."
Content aimed at culture (movies/series) also behave the same way, throwing a bit of politics into the mix. Always the same incendiary click bait title spewing a bunch of nonsense that has nothing the story, setting characters or other topics relevant to the piece.
Is there anything that can be saved on that platform? It has gotten so bad that I'm start to think that Tiktok and Twitter both have better content than YouTube. At least in those platforms you can find a random dude writing an essay in a series of 20 tweets on why an increase of mantis is related to the global surge of ballpoint pen prices.

The majority of the content I consume comes from YouTube these days. Here are a couple of my favorite channels:
- Usagi Electric - old computers and vacuum tubes
- Diesel Creek - big equipment restoration and salvage
- Robot Cantina - silly car projects
- Look Mum, No Computer - analog synth madness
- RCTestFlight - RC cars, drones, etc.
- Project Air - experimental RC stuff
- BPS.Space - Amateur Rocketry
- Tasting History - Food history
- Tokyo Lens - exploring and discovery in Tokyo
- Integza - mad science stuff
- Jeff Geerling - Raspberry Pis etc.
- Nile Red - backyard chemistry
- Studson Studio - making models from garbage
- Mr. Chickadee - super chill, traditional woodworking
I have away more niche channels too for bicycles, retro computing and model building. Just too many to list here unless someone’s interested. I can make a list for a particular niche.
I could listen to Max Miller tell stories for hours, love his upbeat tone and sly sense of humour.
